Fire and burn hazard
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Keep gasoline out of reach
of children.
l
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
l
Allow the engine to cool before refueling. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel
may ignite.
l
The engine and exhaust system become very hot during operation
and remain hot for a while after stopping. Contact with hot engine
components can cause burn injuries and can ignite some materials.
l
Avoid touching a hot engine or exhaust system.
l
Allow the engine to cool before performing maintenance or storing
the tiller indoors.
Carbon monoxide poisoning hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
l
If you run the engine in an area that is confined or even partially
enclosed, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of
exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up, provide
adequate ventilation.
Operation on slope
l
When tilling on slopes, keep the fuel tank less than half full to
minimize fuel spillage.
l
Till across the slope (At equally spaced intervals) rather than up and
down it.
l
Be very careful when changing the direction of the tiller on a slope.
l
Do not use the tiller on a slope of more than IO".
The maximum safe grade angle shown is for reference purpose only
and should be determined according to the type of the tool. Before
starting the engine, check that the tiller is not damaged and in good
condition. For your safety and safety of others, exercise extreme
care when using the tiller on up or down hill.
