CHILDREN

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

•Keep children out of the work area and under the watchful eye of a responsible adult other than the operator.

•Be alert and turn the unit off if a child enters the area.

•Never allow children under the age of 14 to operate the tiller.

SERVICE

•Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

•Store fuel and oil in approved containers, away from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of children. Check and add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.

•Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting the engine as it may cause a fire or explosion.

•Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

•Never refuel unit indoors because flammable vapors will accumulate in the area.

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

•Never run your machine in an enclosed area as the exhaust from the engine contains carbon monoxide, which is a odorless, tasteless and deadly poisonous gas.

•To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and muffler free of leaves, grass, and other debris build-up. Clean up fuel and oil spillage. Allow unit to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.

•Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the tines and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep wire away from spark plug to prevent accidental starting. Do not use flammable solutions to clean air filter.

•We do not recommend the use of pressure washers to clean your unit. They may cause damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

•Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

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

•Do not alter or tamper with the engine’s governor setting. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine. Overspeeding the engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the engine and to other moving parts of the machine.
