 3

• Only use accessories approved for this machine

by the manufacturer. Read, understand, and follow
all instructions provided with the approved
accessory.

• If situations occur which are not covered by this

manual, use care and good judgment. Contact
your dealer for assistance.

2.  CHILDREN

• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not

alert to the presence of small children. Children
are often attracted to the tilling activity. Never
assume that children will remain where you last
saw them. 

• Keep children out of the work area and under the

watchful eye of a responsible adult other than the
operator.

• Be alert and turn the unit off if a child enters the

area.

• Never allow children under the age of 14 to

operate the tiller. 

3.  SERVICE

• Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other

fuels. They are extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive.

• Store fuel and oil in approved containers, away

from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of
children. Check and add fuel before starting the
engine. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while
the engine is running. Allow engine to cool at least
two minutes before refueling.

• Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any

spilled gasoline before starting the engine as it
may cause a fire or explosion.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other

sources of ignition.

• Never refuel unit indoors because flammable

vapors will accumulate in the area.

• Never store the machine or fuel container inside

where there is an open flame or spark such as a
gas hot water heater, space heater, clothes dryer
or furnace.

• Never run your machine in an enclosed area as

the exhaust from the engine contains carbon
monoxide, which is a odorless, tasteless and
deadly poisonous gas.

• To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and muffler

free of leaves, grass, and other debris build-up.
Clean up fuel and oil spillage. Allow unit to cool at
least 5 minutes before storing.

• Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make

certain the tines and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep
wire away from spark plug to prevent accidental
starting. Do not use flammable solutions to clean
air filter.

• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure

the equipment is in safe working condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their

proper operation regularly.

• Do not alter or tamper with the engine’s governor

setting. The governor controls the maximum safe
operating speed of the engine. Overspeeding the
engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the
engine and to other moving parts of the machine. 

WARNING — YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: 

Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who
