Important Safety Information (Continued)

• Save all instructions

STORAGE SAFETY

• Always refer to the operator’s manual instructions for important details if the tiller is to be stored for an extended period.

• Never store the tiller with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as water heaters, space heaters, clothes dryers, etc.

• To reduce fire hazard, keep tiller free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.

• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

REPAIR, MAINTENANCE, AND ADJUSTMENT SAFETY

• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove the wire from the spark plug and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect the tiller for any damage. If damaged, have the

equipment repaired by a trained technician before restarting and operating.

WARNING

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.

Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running except when specifically recommended by the manufacturer.

Keep the tiller in safe working condition. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

When servicing or repairing the tiller, 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 tiller 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.

WARNING

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

Do not change the engine governor setting or over-speed engine.

Clean and replace safety and instruction decals as necessary.

To guard against engine over-heating, always have engine debris filter mounted and clean.

CHILDREN SAFETY

WARNING

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the tiller and the tilling activity.

Keep children out of the tilling 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 tiller off if children enter the area.

Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.

Never allow children to operate the tiller.

Use extra care when operating near blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obstruct vision.
