TILLER SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Most injuries or property damage can be prevented if you follow all

instructions in this manual and on the tiller. The most common

hazards are discussed below, along with the best way to protect

yourself and others.

Honda Tiller Usage

Honda tillers are designed to give safe and dependable service if

operated according to instructions and intended use.

Honda tillers are intended to be used by an experienced, trained

operator who is familiar with the use of power equipment. Do not allow

a child or an inexperienced, untrained operator to use this tiller.

Operating this equipment requires special effort on your part to

ensure your safety and the safety of others. Read and understand this

owner’s manual.

Avoid Rotating Tines

The rotating tines can cause injury. Keep away from the tine shield

whenever the engine is running. If you need to adjust the tines or work

around the tines for any reason, always stop the engine. Disconnect

the spark plug cap if you need to clean or handle the tines.

Clear Tilling Area

The tiller tines can throw rocks and other objects with enough force to

cause injury. Before tilling, carefully inspect the area and remove all

large debris.

Keep Shields in Place

Guards and shields are designed to protect you from being hit by

thrown objects. They also help protect you from hot engine parts and

moving components. For your safety and the safety of others, keep all

guards and shields in place when operating the tiller.

Refuel with Care

Petrol is extremely flammable and petrol vapor can explode. Refuel

only outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the engine off. Never

smoke near petrol, and keep other flames and sparks away. Always

store petrol in an approved container.

Wear Protective Clothing

Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk of injury. Long pants

and eye protection reduce the risk of injuries from thrown objects.

Sturdy shoes with aggressive soles will help protect your feet and give

you better traction on slopes or uneven ground. Clothing worn by the

operator should be close-fitting. Loose clothing should not be

permitted because it may get caught in moving parts. Tie up or

restrain long hair.

Turn Engine Off When Not Tilling

If you need to leave the tiller for any reason, even just to inspect the

area ahead, always stop the engine.

ATTACHMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS

Do not make any modifications to your tiller. Modifying your tiller, or

installing non-Honda attachments, can make your tiller unsafe.

If you need attachments for your tiller, use only Honda Genuine

attachments. These products have been designed for your tiller.

Non-Honda attachments are usually designed for universal

applications. Although aftermarket attachments may fit on your tiller,

they may not meet factory specifications and could make your tiller

unsafe.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO EMPLOYERS

As an employer, you have special responsibilities to the people who

work for you.

Before you ask anyone to operate this tiller, you need to determine

whether the person is old enough, large enough, and strong enough

to safely handle and control the tiller.

If you decide the person is, make sure the employee reads and

understands all instructions and warnings in this manual, and on the

labels before operating the tiller.

Allow adequate time for hands-on training by a qualified instructor,

and personally supervise practice sessions until you feel sure the

employee is ready to operate the tiller.

Also be sure employees wear proper clothing and have eye protection

and any other gear that may be required by local ordinances or your

insurance company.

Remember, too, that you are responsible for keeping the tiller properly

maintained and in safe operating condition.

Your commitment to safety on the job can help prevent injuries and

result in longer and more productive years of service.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS

Your child’s safety is very important to Honda. Read this message if

you decide to permit your child to operate this tiller. Tillers are tools,

not toys. As with any equipment, bad judgements can result in serious

injuries. You can prevent injuries by making good decisions about if,

when, and how your child operates this equipment.

The first question you’ll need to ask is whether your child is capable of

operating this tiller safely. Remember, young people vary widely, and

AGE IS NOT THE ONLY FACTOR. Physically, a child must be

LARGE ENOUGH AND STRONG ENOUGH to easily start the tiller

and control its direction. The child also needs enough size, strength,

and coordination to comfortably reach and operate the controls.

Another, tougher question you need to ask is if your child has enough

MATURITY AND RESPONSIBILITY to safely operate this tiller. Does

the young person think through problems and come to logical

solutions? Anyone who takes unnecessary risks and does not obey

rules should not operate this tiller.

If you decide that your child can handle the tiller safely, carefully read

the owner’s manual with him or her. Make sure you both understand

all instructions and safety information. Also, be sure your child wears

sturdy shoes and other protective clothing when operating or handling

the tiller.

SUPERVISION is also very important. Walk with your child during the

first few minutes of tilling. Even after he or she has become confident

with the tiller, do not let the child use the tiller without good adult

supervision. An adult should also be present during refueling and

maintenance. In fact, it’s up to the adult owner to make sure the tiller

is properly maintained and kept in safe operating condition.

By always placing safety first, your child will acquire useful skills and a

sense of accomplishment. And you’ll both get the best results from

your tiller.
