OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY TRAINING
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of our Tiller. Unfortunately, our efforts to
provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander.
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
It has been said,
“The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator. It is the operator
’s responsibility to read and understand all safety and operating
instructions in the manual and to follow them. Accidents can be avoided.
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual
for your towing vehicle, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with the machines. If this
machine is used by any person other than you, or is loaned or rented, it is the tiller owner
’s
responsibility to make certain that the owner
’s manual be available to the operator prior to operation.
Operators must:
1. Read and understand the operator
’s manuals.
2. Operate tiller in a proper and safe way.
Know your controls and how to stop the towing vehicle, engine, and tiller quickly in an emergency.
Read this manual and the one provided with your towing vehicle.
Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently. Be certain only a properly trained and
physically able person will operate the machinery. A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with
work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.
