TILLER SAFETY
HONDA F220 (E) 00X31-V14-6120 -
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.
