SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
7. Before cleaning, unclogging, repairing or inspecting,
make certain all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect wire from the spark plug(s) and keep
wire away to prevent accidental starting.
8. Do not run the engine indoors, except when
starting the engine and for transporting the rotary
tiller in or out of the building. Do not operate or let
motor run in a storage area without ventilation
because gas contains carbon monoxide which is
odourless, colorless and can cause death.
9. Do not till across the face of slopes. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction and slow
down on slopes. Do not attempt to till steep slopes,
(more than 10%), near the edge of a ditch or a
bank since the tiller can push the tractor.
10. Never operate the rotary tiller without proper
guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in
place. Never operate the rotary tiller with the
deflector in the raised position. Never remove the
deflector from the back of the tiller.
11.
Never operate the rotary tiller near glass
enclosures, automobiles, window wells, drop-offs.
Keep children and pets away.
12. Never operate the rotary tiller at high transport
speed. Use special care when backing up.
13. Disengage power to the rotary tiller when it is
transported or not in use.
14.
Use only accessories approved by the
manufacturer of the tractor (such as wheel chains,
front counterweights, cabs and the like).
15. Never operate the rotary tiller without good visibility
or light.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are
present such as hot water and space heaters,
clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine to
cool before storing in any enclosure.
2. Always refer to the owner’s manual when you store
the rotary tiller.
3. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels,
as necessary.
