TILLER SAFETY
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.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go
barefoot.
Wear gloves, eye protection, a long-sleeved shirt, and long pants
made of heavy material. Keep clothing fastened.
Wear sturdy work boots with good toe protection and nonslip soles.
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°. 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.
Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on hard or
slippery surfaces.
