CONTROL LOCATIONS BEFORE OPERATION
ARE YOU READY TO OPERATE THE TILLER?
Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will
significantly reduce your risk of injury.
Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and
how to operate them.
Familiarize yourself with the tiller and its operation before you begin
using it. Know how to quickly shut off the engine in case of an
emergency.
You must be alert and in good physical condition to operate the tiller.
Do not operate the tiller if you are tired, ill, or under the influence of
alcohol, medication, or any substance that might impair your vision,
dexterity, or judgment.
If you have any physical problem that may be aggravated by
strenuous work, consult your physician before operating the tiller.
Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk of injury. Do not wear
loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Secure
hair so it is above shoulder level.
Wear gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, and long pants made of heavy
material. Clothing should fit closely but allow freedom of movement,
and should have no strings, straps, etc. that could catch on brush or
the tiller. Keep clothing fastened.
Wear sturdy work boots with good toe protection and nonslip soles.
IS YOUR WORKING AREA READY?
Objects thrown by the tiller can cause serious injury. Before operating
the tiller, carefully inspect the area, and remove all objects that could
be thrown by, or entangled in, the tilling attachment, such as rocks,
broken glass, nails, wire, or string.
Never operate the tiller without good visibility or light.
Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. Keep all children,
bystanders, and pets at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from where the
tiller is being operated.
If anyone approaches you while you are operating the tiller, release
the throttle lever and stop the engine
IS YOUR TILLER READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it
is very important to take a few moments before you operate the tiller
to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or
have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the tiller.
