These Tillers are designed with care and built with quality materials by skilled workers. Proper assembly,
maintenance, and operating practices, as described in this manual, will help the owner/operator get years of
satisfactory service from the machine.
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize, instruct. The Assembly Section instructs the owner/operator in the
correct assembly of the Tiller using standard and optional equipment.
Careful use and timely service save extensive repairs and costly downtime losses. The Operation and
Maintenance Sections of the manual train the owner/operator how to work the Tiller correctly and attend to
appropriate maintenance. The Trouble Shooting Guide helps diagnose difficulties with Tiller and offers solution
to the problems.
Safety is of primary importance to the owner/operator and to the manufacturer. The first section of this manual
includes a list of Safety Messages, that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or
death. Many of the Safety Messages will be repeated throughout the manual. The owner/operator/dealer
should know these Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards of operating this Tiller
during assembly, use, and maintenance. The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen
below, is intended to warn the owner/operator of impending hazards and the degree of possible injury faced
when operating this machine.

recommends the use of Chain Guards or Rubber Deflectors for Agricultural purposes as
well, to reduce the risk of property damage, serious bodily injury, or even death from objects
thrown out by or from contact with the Cutting Blades.
