Do not perform maintenance procedures, unclog or clean cultivator tines while engine is running. Do not operate the cultivator above ground level or near feet. Do not allow the tines to contact large obstructions which may cause kickback and loss of control.. Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injury.
