1. Safety Instructions
Beware of coasting tools. Before you start
any maintenance or repair on them, wait
until tools have come to a complete stop.
Foreign powered parts shear and crush!
Riding on the attachment during opera-
tion is not permitted.
Attachments and their weight affect the
driving, steering, braking, and tip-over
characteristics of the power hoe. There-
fore, ensure steering and braking func-
tions are sufficient. Match operating
speed to conditions.
Do not change governor settings. High
engine speed increases risk of accidents.
Working Area and
Dangerous Area
The user is liable to third parties working
within the power hoe’s working range.
Staying in the hazardous area of the
power hoe is not permitted.
Check the immediate surroundings of the
power hoe before you start it. Watch out
for children and animals.
Before you start work, clear the area from
any foreign object. During operation,
always watch out for further objects and
remove them in time.
For operation in enclosed areas, ensure
that a safety distance is kept to enclo-
sures to prevent damage to tools.
Operation and
Safety Devices
Before you start operation
Become familiar with the devices and
operating elements and their functions.
Above all, learn how to turn off the en-
gine quickly and safely in case of an
emergency.
Ensure that all protective devices are
mounted and positioned to provide pro-
tection.
With no attachment mounted, make sure
PTO-shaft is covered with the protective
cap.
Starting the engine
Do not start engine in closed rooms. The
carbon monoxide contained in the ex-
haust fume is extremely toxic when in-
haled.
Before you start the engine set all oper-
ating elements to neutral or idling posi-
tion.
For starting the engine, do not step in front
of the power hoe and the attachment.
Operation
Never leave the operator’s position at the
steering handle while power hoe is at
work.
Never adjust the steering handles during
