Guard against kicking. Obstructions in or on the soil can cause the
tines to kick forward or upward. The tines can also kick back toward
the operator if allowed to contact obstructions above them.
a) Wear non-slip gloves and use the proper grip on the handles
to keep control of the unit.
b) Avoid contact with obstructions at or below ground level.
c) Keep the tines at ground level. Do not raise the head where
tine contact with wires, branches, etc. could cause you to
lose control.
Maintain a balanced stance, and keep the cultivator head well away
from your feet.
Always shut off the engine before clearing debris from the tines and
hubs. Dry-clean the attachment after use.
Do not immerse the cultivator head in water or mud or wash it down,
because moisture will harm the internal parts.
