Safety Precautions

4.1 Intended Use
The ridger is used to make furrows in the ground.
The ridger can be mounted on a tiller on which
either STIHL ART 012.0 running wheels or
STIHL AMR 060.0, STIHL AMR 070.0 cast-iron
wheels are fitted.
Fitting cast-iron wheels improves the traction of
the tiller and therefore significantly increases the
ridger's tractive force.
The ridger may only be used in combination with
the tiller.
WARNING
■ Failure to use the ridger as intended may
result in serious or fatal injury to people and
damage to property.
