Training

1. Carefully read this Owner’s
Manual, the separate Engine
Owner’s Manual, and any

other literature you may receive. Be thor-
oughly familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the tiller and its engine.
Know how to stop the unit and disengage
the controls quickly.

2. Never allow children to operate the
tiller. Never allow adults to operate the
tiller without proper instruction.

3. Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, particularly children and pets.

4. Keep in mind that the operator or user
is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people, their property,
and themselves.

Preparation

1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
tiller is to be used and remove all foreign
objects.

2. Be sure all tiller controls are released
and both wheels are in the Wheel Drive
position before starting the engine. 

3. Do not operate the tiller without

wearing adequate outer garments. Avoid
loose garments or jewelry that could get
caught in moving parts.

4. Do not operate the tiller when barefoot
or wearing sandals, sneakers, or light
footwear. Wear protective footwear that
will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

5. Do not till near underground electric
cables, telephone lines, pipes or hoses. If
in doubt, contact your telephone or utility
company.

6. Warning: Handle fuel with care; it is
highly flammable and its vapors are explo-
sive. Take the following precautions:

a.  Store fuel in containers specifically

designed for this purpose.

b.  The gas cap shall never be removed

or fuel added while the engine is run-
ning.  Allow the engine to cool for
several minutes before adding fuel.

c.  Keep matches, cigarettes, cigars,

pipes, open flames, and sparks
away from the fuel tank and fuel
container.

d.  Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme

care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Use a funnel or spout to prevent
spillage.

e.  Replace all fuel tank and container

caps securely.  

f. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to

start the engine, but move the
machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any
source of ignition until fuel vapors
have dissipated.

7. Never make adjustments when engine
is running (unless recommended by 
manufacturer).

Operation

1. Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts.

2. Exercise extreme caution when on or
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do
not carry passengers.

3. After striking a foreign object, stop the
engine, remove the wire from the spark
plug wire and prevent it from touching the
spark plug. Thoroughly inspect the
machine for any damage and repair the
damage before restarting and operating
the machine.

SPARK ARRESTER WARNING TO RESIDENTS 

OF CALIFORNIA AND SEVERAL OTHER STATES

Under California law, and under the laws of several

other states, you are not permitted to operate an
internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels
on any forest, brush, hay, grain, or grass covered land;
or land covered by any flammable agricultural crop
without an engine spark arrester in continuous effec-
tive working order.

The engine on the unit is an internal combustion

engine which burns gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel, and
must be equipped with a spark arrester muffler in con-
tinuous effective working order.  The spark arrester
must be attached to the engine exhaust system in such
a manner that flames or heat from the system will not
ignite flammable material.  Failure of the owner/oper-
ator of the unit to comply with this regulation is a mis-
demeanor under California law (and other states) and
may also be a violation of other state and/or federal
regulations, laws, ordinances or codes.  Contact your
local fire marshal or forest service for specific informa-
tion about which regulations apply in your area.
