TILLER SAFETY
Fire and Burn Hazards
The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.
- Keep the tiller at least 3 feet
(
1 meter) away from buildings and
other equipment during operation.
- Keep flammable materials away from the tiller.
The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot
for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the
muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the tiller
indoors.
Refuel With Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Allow the engine to cool if the tiller has been in operation. Refuel
only outdoors in a well-ventilated area with the engine OFF. Do not
overfill the fuel tank. Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other
flames and sparks away. Always store gasoline in an approved
container. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before
starting the engine.
Avoid Rotating Tines
Rotating tines can cause serious cuts and even amputate body parts.
Keep away from the tine area whenever the engine is running. If you
need to work around the tines to clear a object accumulation or for
any other reason, always shut off the engine. Disconnect the spark
plug cap, and wear heavy gloves when you need to clean the tine
area or handle the tines.
Clear Tilling Area
A tine can throw rocks and other objects with enough force to cause
serious injury. Before tilling, carefully inspect the area and remove
all stones, sticks, bones, nails, pieces of wire, and other loose objects.
Be aware if children are in the area; stop the tiller. Never operate the
tines over gravel.
