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 the 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
• 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.
• 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 the safety of others, exercise extreme care when
using the tiller on a slope.
Tilling Conditions
Operate the tiller only in daylight or good artificial light. Do not operate
the tiller at night or under poor light conditions.
