Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid engagement or braking could cause the front of the machine to lift.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires loose traction, disengage tiller and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this unit on that area or serious injury could result.

DO NOT:

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

Do not operate unit near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. A wheel over the edge or an edge caving in could cause sudden overturn.

Do not operate tractor on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

3.Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the tilling activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

Keep children out of the tilling area and in watchful care of an adult other than the operator.

Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.

Before and when backing, look behind and down for small children.

Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with the safe machine operation.

Never allow children to operate the machine.

Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure vision.

4.Service

Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling. Do not smoke.

Never refuel the machine indoors.

Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, or spark, such as a water heater, space heater, clothes dryer and the like.

Never run a machine inside a closed area.

Check frequently and keep nuts and bolts tight and keep equipment in safe working condition.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. Use all guards as instructed in this manual.

To reduce fire hazard, keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool before storing.

Stop and inspect the equipment for damage if you strike an object (e.g. rock). Repair, if necessary, before re-starting and operating the machine.

Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.

Muffler, engine, and belt guards become hot during operation and can cause a burn. Allow to cool down before touching.

Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.

Danger: Your unit was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. If you violate any of these rules, you may cause serious injury to yourself or others.
