3. Always keep the flap on the tiller cover down
when your tiller is in operation, except when
furrowing and hilling.
6. Don't try to till on a hill that is too steep for
safety.
5. Use your good sense and judgement at all
times. For instance, don't engage powered tines
in the ground when wheel shift is in Free
Wheeling. Unless held back, the tiller will travel
rapidly away from you.
4. Don't use reverse in high gear unless you
mean to, and can handle it.
2. Keep hands and feet away from revolving
tines, and keep hands away from belts, pUlleys,
turning wheels or shafts.

1. Even with tools, don't make adjustments of
belts, handlebars, shift linkages, levers, reverse
disc, or reverse spring an.d plunger while the
engine is running.
8. Make sure that you wear good, sturdy shoes.
Never till in bare feet or sneakers.
7. Don't till near underground electric cables,
irrigation pipes or hoses.
• Therefore, please remember to exercise these
basic safety rules. They are simply matters of
common sense-each based upon knowledge
and/or familiarity with operating controls of
both the tiller and the engine.

• The safety precautions that you should keep
\
I
in mind are listed below. Please be sensible in
\
how you use your tiller.
• All power equipment has to be powerful
enough to do its job in the garden. However, its
power can hurt you if you are forgetful or disre-
gard "common sense" safety practices in nor-
mal operation.
2. Practice
operating controls and running til-
ler BEFORE you start to garden with it. These
moments will prove well worth the time you
spend.
