TILLER SAFETY
Keep Shields in Place
Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by thrown
objects and to keep you from touching hot engine parts and moving components.
For your safety and the safety of others, keep all shields in place when the
engine is running.
Wear Protective Clothing
Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk of injury. Long pants and eye
protection reduce the risk of injuries from thrown objects. Sturdy shoes with
aggressive soles provide better traction.
Turn Engine Off When Not Operating the Tiller
If you need to leave the tiller for any reason, even just to inspect the area
ahead, always turn the engine off.
Slope Operation
0
When tilling on slopes, keep the fuel tank less than half full to minimize fuel
spillage.
Till across the slope (at equally spaced intervals) rather than up and down
it.
0
Be very careful when changing the direction of the tiller on a slope.
Do not use the tiller on a slope of more than 10". Before starting the engine,
check that the tiller is not damaged and is in good condition. For your safety
and safety of others, exercise extreme care when using the tiller on aslope.
Tilling Conditions
Operate tiller only in daylight or good artificial light. Do not operate the tiller at
night or under poor light conditions.
