SAFETY
5
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards that cannot be protected against by the mechani-
cal means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire
manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is some-
thing in this manual you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders at least several
hundred feet from an operating rotary tiller. Only properly trained people should operate this machine.
When machine is operated in populated areas where thrown objects could injure persons or property,
operation must be stopped when anyone comes within several hundred feet.
The majority of the accidents involve entanglement on the driveline, injury of bystanders by the objects
thrown by the rotating tines, and operators being knocked off the tractor by low hanging limbs and then
being run over by the tiller. Accidents are most likely to occur with machines that are loaned or rented to
someone who has not read the owner's manual and is not familiar with a rotary tiller.
The rotary tiller is designed for use only on tractors with the power take-off (PTO) turning at 540-RPM.
Install and secure all guards and shields before starting or operating. The tiller tines, driveline guards and
tractor shields should be used and maintained in good working condition. They should be inspected
carefully, at least daily, for missing or broken chain links, shields, or guards. (Worn items must be replaced
at once to reduce possibility of injury.)
Disengage power take-off (PTO) and place transmission in neutral before attempting to start engine.
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the operating parts of
the tiller. These items could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the tines. Such a
situation is extremely hazardous. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before tilling. Remove any like
objects from the site.
Never allow the tilling tines to contact such items. Never assume an area is clear. ALWAYS CHECK!
Always stop the tractor, disengage PTO, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key,
lower implement to the ground and allow rotating pieces to come to a complete stop before dismounting
tractor. Never leave equipment unattended with the tractor running.
Never place hands or feet under tiller with tractor engine running or before you are sure all motion has
stopped. Stay clear of all moving parts.
