A FEW WORDS ABOUT SAFETY CONTENTS

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. And using this tiller is an important responsibility.

To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided operating procedures and other information on labels and in this manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others.

Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards associated with operating or maintaining a tiller. You must use your own good judgment.

You will find important safety information in a variety of forms, including:

•Safety Labels – on the tiller.

•Safety Messages – preceded by a safety alert symbol  and one of three words:

DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.

These signal words mean:
