manual abstract
Keep a firm hold on the handlebars. They may tend to lift during clutch engagement. Allowing anyone to operate this tiller without proper instruction may result in injury. Wear sturdy, full-coverage footwear. Operating this tiller barefoot or with open toe shoes or sandals increases your risk of injury. Dress sensibly. Loose clothing may get caught in moving parts, increas- ing your risk of injury. l• Be alert. Operating this tiller when you are tired, ill or under the in- fluence of alcohol or drugs may result in serious injury. Keep all persons and pets away from the tilling area. l• Be sure drag bar is in place and properly adjusted. Child Safety l• Keep children indoors and supervised at all times when any outdoor power equipment is being used nearby. Young children move quickly and are attracted especially to the tiller and the tilling activity. l• Never assume children will remain where you last saw them. Be alert and turn the tiller off if children enter the area. l• Children should never be allowed to operate the tiller, even under adult supervision. Rotating Tines Hazard The rotating tines are sharp and they turn at high speed. Accidental con- tact can cause serious injury. l• Keep your hands and feet away from the tines while engine is running. l• Stop the engine and disengage the tines clutch before inspection or maintenance of tines. l• Disconnect the spark plug cap to prevent any possibility of accidental starting. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands from the tines when cleaning the tines or when inspecting or replacing the tines. Thrown Object Hazard Objects hit by the rotating tines can be thrown from the tiller with great force, and may cause serious injury. l• Before tilling, clear the tilling area of sticks, large stones, wire, glass, etc. Till only in daylight. l• Always inspect the tiller for damage after striking a foreign object. Repair or replace any damaged parts before continuing use. l• Pieces thrown from worn or damaged tines can cause serious injury. Always inspect the tines before using the tiller. 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 co.01 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 com- ponents 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 enclos- ed, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up, provide adequate venti- lation. 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 20”. 2.
