Operator responsibility
Honda tiller is designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions.

ing the tiller. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or equipment damage.

Never run the tiller in an enclosed area.
Be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
The rotating tines are sharp and they turn at high speed.
Accidental contact can cause serious injury.
Keep your hands and feet away from the tines while
engine is running.
Stop the engine and disengage the clutch before
inspection or maintenance of tines.
Disconnect the spark plug cap to prevent any possibility
of accidental starting. Wear heavy gloves to protect your
hands from the tines when cleaning the tines or when
inspecting or replacing the tines.
For your safety and the safety of others, pay special attention to these
precautions:
Keep the tiller in good operating condition. Operating a tiller in poor
or questionable condition could result in serious injury.
Be sure all safety devices are in working order and warning labels
are in place. These items are installed for your safety.

cover) are in places.
Know how to stop the engine and tines quickly in case of
emergency. Understand the use of all controls.
Keep a firm hold on the handlebars. They may tend to lift during
clutch engagement.
