Additional safety instructions for petrol tillers
SAFETY RULES:
CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG LEAD AND PLACE IT WHERE IT CANNOT CONTACT THE
SPARK PLUG TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING WHEN SETTING-UP, TRANSPORTING, ADJUSTING OR
MAKING REPAIRS BEFORE USE.
Read the instruction manual carefully and be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of
the petrol tiller. Know how to stop the petrol tiller and disengage the controls quickly.
•
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where the petrol tiller is to be used and remove all foreign objects.
The
tiller tines can throw rocks and other objects with enough force to cause injury.
•
Avoid rotating tines.
The rotating tines can cause injury. Keep away from the tine shield whenever the
engine is running. If you need to adjust the tines or work around the tines for any reason, always stop
the engine. Disconnect the spark plug cap if you need to clean or handle the tines.
•
Keep shields in place.
Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by thrown objects.
They also help protect you from hot engine parts and moving components. For your safety and the
safety of others, keep all guards and shields in place when operating the tiller.
•
Wear protective clothing.
Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk of injury. Long pants and
eye protection reduce the risk of injuries from thrown objects. Sturdy shoes with non-slip soles will help
protect your feet and give you better traction on slopes or uneven ground. Clothing worn by the
operator should be close-fitting. Loose clothing should not be permitted because it may get caught in
moving parts. Tie up or restrain long hair. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
•
Turn engine off when not tilling
. If you need to leave the tiller for any reason, even just to inspect the
area ahead, always stop the engine.
•
Do not make any modifications to your tiller
. Modifying your tiller can make your tiller unsafe.
•
Do not smoke while refuelling.
This is potentially dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and cause an
explosion.
•
Take care not to spill fuel.
When refuelling the tiller ensure that the motor has been switched off.
Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot motor. Never refuel whilst the engine is
running.
•
Be careful where you store the tiller.
Store the tiller in a dry area away from flammable liquids.
•
Ensure bystanders keep a safe distance.
The tiller emits exhaust fumes.
•
Ensure you use oil-mix fuel.
Ensure that you mix 40 parts unleaded fuel to 1 part engine grade oil. If
not, the engine will overheat and cause damage to your tiller.
•
Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot.
•
Replace fuel tank cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
