Safety of Children
➢
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
cultivator and the cultivating activity.
➢
Keep children out of the area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
➢
Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
➢
Be alert and turn cultivator off if children enter the area.
➢
Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
➢
Never allow children to operate the cultivator.
➢
Use extra care when operating near blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obstruct vision.
Maintenance and Adjustment
➢
Stop the engine before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the unit. Make sure all moving parts have stopped. Let the engine
cool, disconnect the spark plug wire and move it away from the spark plug.
➢
Keep the cultivator in safe working condition. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
➢
When servicing or repairing the cultivator, do not tip the machine over or up unless specifically instructed to do so in this
manual. Service and repair procedures can be done with the cultivator in an upright position. Some procedures will be
easier if the machine is lifted on a raised platform or working surface.
➢
Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts.
➢
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
➢
Clean and replace safety and instruction decals as necessary.
➢
To guard against engine over-heating, always have engine filters mounted and clean.
