Refuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Allow the engine
to cool if the tiller has been in operation. Refuel only outdoors in a well-ventilated
area with the engine OFF. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Never smoke near gasoline,
and keep other flames and sparks away.
Always store gasoline in an approved container. Make sure that any spilled fuel has
been wiped up before starting the engine.
Avoid Rotating Tines
Rotating tines can cause serious cuts and even amputate body parts. Keep away
from the tine area whenever the engine is running. If you need to work around the
tines to clear object accumulation or for any other reason, always shut off the
engine. Disconnect the spark plug cap, and wear heavy gloves when you need to
clean the tine area or handle the tines.
Clear Tilling Area
A tine can throw rocks and other objects with enough force to cause serious injury.
Before tilling, carefully inspect the area and remove all stones, sticks, bones, nails,
pieces of wire, and other loose objects.
Be aware if children are in the area; stop
the tiller . Never operate the tines over gravel.
Keep shields in place
Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by thrown objects
and to keep you from touching hot engine parts and moving components. For your
safety and the safety of others, keep all shields in place when the engine is running.
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
aggressive soles provide better traction.
Turn the engine off when not operating the tiller
If you need to leave the tiller for any reason, even just to inspect the area ahead,
always turn the engine off.
