Getting Started
Getting Started Continued
7. After restarting the TailGator®, use the throttle trigger (#5)
to rev the motor until the ingredients are completely
blended. Use the stop switch (#12) to kill the motor.
1. With your Gator lying on its side and the fuel cap (#8)
pointing upward, remove the fuel cap and fill the fuel tank
(#9) with the appropriate fuel mixture. Refer to Important
Safeguard’s on page 4 for fuel mixture info.
Shut’n it Down
2. Now wrestle your Gator to its feet. It is recommended that
the Gator be warmed up before using. With the pitcher
assembly off, depress the primer bubble (#10) two or more
times, until it becomes firm.
1. After your blending is complete, depress the stop switch
(#12) to kill the motor.
3. Move the choke lever (#11) up into the full position. Put
one hand around the neck area of the Gator (#4). Place your
index finger on the trigger (#5) for throttle control.
2. Move the tab on the lock ring back to the open position,
remove the pitcher from the motor coupling and pour away.
3. After all blending is complete, clean the pitcher. For best
results use a bottlebrush to clean the blades.
4. Holding the Gator’s neck firmly with one hand, quickly
pull the starter rope (#7) toward yourself. Pull the starter
rope two or more times until the engine pops or runs briefly.
4. Only place the TailGator® back into its carrying case or
other container after the motor has had sufficient time to
cool.
5. Now move the choke lever (#11) down to the half way point
or to the closed position, and pull again until the motor starts.
Run the motor several seconds.
6. With the motor off, move the lock ring tab until the openings
on the lock ring line up with the openings on the motor
coupling. Place a fully loaded pitcher into the motor coupling
by inserting ridges on the side of the pitcher base down into
openings on the lock ring, and then rotate the tab on the lock
ring as far as it will go to the left or right to lock the pitcher
in place. Check to make sure the pitcher is firmly locked in
place.

TailGatorology and Gatorizims
The TailGator® was designed and built after seeing a need
for a blender that would work well any place any time. You
have purchased a product, that we feel has been perfected
after many hours of product design and testing. We honestly
don’t remember much about the testing but the results are
very clear.
There is always the question of how many drinks to the
gallon. Although we have attempted that test several times,
we have yet to successfully complete it. The one thing that
has been proven over and over again, is the fact that you will
get more dates now that you own a TailGator®.
Now that you've made it past
all the boring shhtuff, let’s
get on with the fun shhtuff
and blend on and on and on
and on . . . . . . . . .
The TailGator is truly a very wise investment. You will see
that when you use the TailGator®, a crowd will begin to form.
The onlookers will want to see it run as much as possible.
For every pitcher blended, give yourself a sample. Thus
eliminating your need to purchase ingredients and saves
you money.
The spiritual events you might experience with the TailGator®
could be phenomenal. It has been mentioned that the
TailGator® has taken many different shape and resemblance's.
There are those people who feel it necessary to pray to the
Gator God. Besides, after a few successful operations of the
TailGator® and, if you squint just right, it looks just like the
Gator God or maybe its Stone Henge. Nevertheless it’s all
good.
Blend on……...
