•
Children should never be allowed to operate the Intercultivator even under adult
supervision.
Thrown Object Hazard:
•
Objects hit by the rotating tines can be thrown from the Intercultivator with great
force and may cause severe injury.
•
Before intercultural/weeding operation clear the intercultural/weeding operation
area of sticks, large stone wire glass etc.
•
Cultivate only in daylight.
•
Pieces thrown from worn or damaged-tines can cause serious injury. Always
inspect the tines before using the Inter-cultivator.
Fire and Burn Hazard:
•
Petrol is extremely flammable and petrol vapor can explode.
•
Take extreme care when handling petrol. Keep petrol out of reach of children.
•
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
•
Allow the engine to cool before refueling. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may be ignited.
•
The engine and exhaust system become very hot during operation and remain
hot for a while even after stopping. Contact with hot engine components can
cause burn injuries and can ignite some materials.
•
Avoid touching a hot engine or exhaust system.
•
Allow the engine to cool before performing maintenance or storing the
Intercultivator indoors.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard:
•
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide a colorless and odorless gas.
Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
•
If you run the engine in an area that is confined or even partially enclosed, the air
you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust
gas from building-up, provide adequate ventilation.
Operation on Slope
•
When intercultural/weeding operation on slopes, keep the fuel tank less than half
full to minimize fuel spillage.
•
Weeding across the slope (At equally spaced intervals) rather than up and down
it.
•
Be very careful when changing the direction of the Intercultivator on a slope.
•
Do not use the Intercultivator on a slope for more than 10°.
•
The maximum safe grade angle shown is for reference purpose only and should
be determined according to the type of the tool. Before starting the engine, check
that the Inter-cultivator is not damaged and in good condition. For your safety and
safety of others, exercise extreme care when using the Inter-cultivator up or down
the hill.
