Safety First!
When working on the tiller or its
engine, closely follow operating
instructions and recommended safe-
ty practices at all times. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or
property damage. Here are some
basic safety precautions you should
keep in mind at all times when doing
repair work:
KNOW THE TILLER AND ENGINE!
Read the Owner/Operator Manual
carefully. Be sure you know what
each tiller and engine control does
before you attempt to operate it.
Read and follow all safety rules.
Never allow inexperienced persons
or children to operate the tiller or its
engine.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL! Do not
wear loose clothing or jewelry that
could get caught in moving parts of
the tiller or its engine.
AVOID MOVING PARTS! Keep
hands, feet, hair, clothing, and tools
safely away from moving parts when
the engine is running.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING!
When servicing the machine, prevent
unintentional starting of the engine
by disconnecting the spark plug wire
and keeping the wire away from the
spark plug. Place the engine throttle
control in the OFF position and dis-
engage the Maneuvering Clutch and
the Forward Clutch.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION! Safety
goggles or a face shield should be
worn whenever there is the possibili-
ty of danger to the eyes from flying
parts or particles.
PREVENT FIRES AND EXPLO-
SIONS! Gasoline is highly
flammable and explosive and should
be used and stored with extreme
caution. Keep gasoline away from
open flame, sparks, and do not
smoke in the vicinity of gasoline cans
or fuel tanks. Do not add gasoline to
a fuel tank when the engine is run-
ning or still hot. Fill the fuel tank out-
doors, in a well-ventilated area.
Store gasoline in a cool, well-ventilat-
ed place, safely away from any spark
or flame producing equipment. Store
only in a U.L. approved container
and safely out of reach of children.
Wipe off any spilled gasoline and
move the engine away from gasoline
fumes before starting engine.
Use flammable cleaning solvents
only according to recognized safety
practices (never use gasoline as a
cleaning solvent). Oily rags and
waste should be packed in a U.L.
approved, covered metal safety con-
tainer to prevent fire from sponta-
neous combustion.
