SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Walk-Behind Powered Rotary Tillers

TRAINING

•Read the Owner’s Manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.

•Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction.

•Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, par- ticularly small children, and pets.

PREPARATION

•Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all foreign objects.

•Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine (motor).

•Never operate the tiller without proper guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in place.

•Keep children and pets away.

•Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to till too deep at too fast a rate.

•Never operate the machine at high speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when backing.

•Never allow bystanders near the unit.

•Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the tiller.

•Never operate the tiller without good visibility or light.

•Be careful when tilling in hard ground. The tines may catch in the ground and propel the tiller forward. If this occurs, let go of the handlebars and do not restrain the machine.

•Do not operate the equipment without wearing ade- quate outer garments. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

•Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.

•Use an approved fuel container.

•Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.

•Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.

•Replace gasoline cap securely and clean up spilled fuel before restarting.

•Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by the manufacturer for all units with electric drive motors or electric starting motors.

•Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine (motor) is running (except where specifically recommended by manufacturer).

OPERATION

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

•Exercise extreme caution when operating on or cross- ing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Do not carry passengers.

•After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the wire from the spark plug, thoroughly inspect the tiller for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the tiller.

•Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.

•If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

•Stop the engine (motor) when leaving the operating position.

•Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine unattended. Disengage the tines, shift into neutral, and stop the engine.

•Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.Disconnect the cord on electric motors.

•Do not run the engine indoors; exhaust fumes are dangerous.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

•Keep machine, attachments, and accessories in safe working condition.

•Check shear pins, engine mounting bolts, and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

•Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present, such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

•Always refer to the operator’s guide instructions for important details if the tiller is to be stored for an ex- tended period.
