avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors
have dissipated.
9 Store fuel in containers specifically designed and
approved for this purpose.
10 Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely
away from sparks, open flames or other sources of
ignition.
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.
Machine use and care
1 Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine
is running.
2 Do not force the machine. Use the correct ma-
chine for your application. The correct machine will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
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,
disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the
cause. Unusual noise or vibration is generally warn-
ing of trouble.
8 Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in
personal 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 dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.

Service
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 per-
sonnel using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the machine maintained.
Specific safety rules
1 Thoroughly inspect the area to be tilled, and re-
move all debris and hard or sharp objects such as
stones, sticks, glass, wire, bones, etc.
2 Do not operate tiller in soil with large rocks and
foreign objects which can damage the machine.
3 Do not till above underground electric cables, tel-
ephone lines, water lines, gas line, pipes, or hoses. If
in doubt, contact your utility or telephone company to
locate underground services.
4 Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least
23m away. If you are approached, stop the unit im-
mediately.
5 Walk, never run with the machine.
6 This unit has a clutch. Squeeze the clutch control
lever and check that i t returns automatically to the
neutral position. If it does not, have unit adjusted by a
qualified repair personnel.
7 Disengage clutch lever before starting the engine.
8 Start the engine carefully according to instructions
and with feet well away from the tines.
9 The tines remain stationary when the clutch is dis-
engaged. If it does not, have unit adjusted by a quali-
fied repair personnel.
10 Always operate the machine from behind, never
pass or stand in front of the machine when the engine
is running.
11 Always hold the unit with both hands when operat-
ing. Keep a firm grip on the handlebars.
12 Be aware that the machine may unexpectedly
bounce upward or jump forward if the tines should
strike buried obstacles such as large stones, roots,
or stumps.
13 If the unit strikes a foreign object, stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug, thoroughly inspect the ma-
chine for any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the machine.
14 Use extreme caution when in reverse ornpulling
the machine towards you.
15 Do not overload the machine capacity by tilling too
deep in a single pass or at too fast a rate.
16 Never operate the tiller at high transport speeds on
hard or slippery surfaces.
17 Be careful when tilling in hard ground. The tines
may catch in the ground and propel the tiller forward.
If this occurs, let go of the handlebars and do not re-
strain the machine.
18 Use caution when tilling near fences, buildings and
underground utilities. Rotating tines can cause prop-
erty damage or personal injury.
