Compare the illustrations with your tiller to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference. These symbols may appear on your Tiller or in literature supplied with the product. Learn and understand their meaning.
  • Page 8 The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your tiller and while tilling. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

Tines will not turn. • Lift handle to raise tines out of ground. • Swing the handle in the opposite direction you wish to turn, being careful to keep feet and legs away from tines.
  • Page 10 TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 13) CAUTION: Keep drive control bar in “DISENGAGED” position when start- ing en gine. When starting engine for the fi rst time or if engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra pulls of the recoil starter to move fuel from the tank to the engine.
