OPERATIONAL SAFETY
l
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards that cannot be protected
against by the mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equip-
ment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to
safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this
manual you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it
to you.
l
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.
l
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.
l
The majority of the accidents involve entanglement on the driveline, injury of by-
standers 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 till-
er. 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.
l
The rotary tiller is designed for use only on tractors with the power take- off
(PTO) turning at
540-RPM .
l
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.)
l
Disengage power takeoff (PTO) and place transmission in neutral before at-
tempting to start engine.
l
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entan-
gled 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 haz-
ardous. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before tilling. Remove any like
objects from the site.
