14 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine is off
before transporting the machine or performing any
maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or
performing maintenance or service on a machine
with engine on invites accidents.
Fuel Safety
1 Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode
if ignited. Take precautions when using to reduce the
chance of serious personal injury.
2 When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an ap-
proved fuel storage container while in a clean,
well-ventilated outdoor. Do not smoke, or allow
sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition near
the area while adding fuel or operating the unit. Nev-
er fill fuel tank indoors.
3 Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools,
away from exposed, live electrical parts and connec-
tions to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could
ignite fumes or vapors.
4 Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when
the engine is hot. Do not operate the machine with
known leaks in the fuel system.
5 Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pres-
sure in the tank.
6 Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than
12.5mm (1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to
provide space for expansion as the heat of the en-
gine can cause fuel to expand).
7 Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely
and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit with-
out the fuel cap securely in place.
8 Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If
fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but
move the machine away from the area of spillage
and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel
vapors have dissipated.
9 Store fuel in containers specifically designed and ap-
proved for this purpose.
10 Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away
from sparks, open flames or other sources of igni-
tion.
11 Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank in-
side a building where fumes may reach a spark, open
flame, or other sources of ignition, such as a water
heater, furnace, clothes dryer and the like. Allow the
engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
Instructions for use and maintenance of the ma-
chine
1 Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine
is running.
2 Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine
for your application. The correct machine will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.

3 Do not change the engine governor settings GB or
over-speed the engine. The governor controls the
maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
4 Do not run the engine at a high speed when you are
not tilling.
5 Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts
6 Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and
hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or muffler.
These parts get extremely hot from operation. They
remain hot for a short time after you turn off the unit.
Allow the engine to cool before doing maintenance
or making adjustments.
7 If the machine should start to make an unusual noise
or vibration, immediately shut off the engine, discon-
nect the spark plug wire, and check for the cause.
Unusual noise or vibration is generally warning of
trouble.
8 Use only attachments and accessories approved by
the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in per-
sonal injury.
9 Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the machine's opera-
tion. If damaged, have the machine repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained equipment.
10 Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves,
excessive grease or carbon build up to reduce the
chance of a fire hazard.
11 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
12 Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other
liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from debris.
Clean after each use.
13 Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for
gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
14 Store idle machine out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or
these instructions to operate it. Machine is danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.
Instructions for maintenance
Before cleaning, repair, inspecting, or adjusting, shut
off the engine and make certain all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the
wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
Have your machine serviced by qualified repair person-
nel using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the machine maintained.
