(motor) is running.
• Do not operate the tiller while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.

ous work, check with your doctor before operating a
powered walk-behind tiller.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

working condition.
• Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts, and other
bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be
sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside
a building where ignition sources are present, such
as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, and
the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
• Always refer to the operator's manual for important
details if the tiller is to be stored for an extended period.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
