Service

Before cleaning, repair, inspecting, or adjusting, shut

o󰀨 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 qualied repair per-

sonnel using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the machine maintained.

Specic 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,

telephone 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

immediately.

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 qualied repair personnel.

7. Disengage clutch lever before starting the engine.

8. Start the engine carefully according to instruc-

tions 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ed repair personnel.

3. Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools,

away from exposed, live electrical parts and con-

nections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events

could ignite fumes or vapors.

4. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before

lling 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 ma-

chine 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 ll fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than

12.5mm (1/2” below the bottom of the ller neck

to provide space for expansion as the heat of the

engine can cause fuel to expand).

7. Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely

and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit

without 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 spill-

age and avoid creating any source of ignition until

fuel vapors have dissipated.

9. Store fuel in containers specically designed and

approved for this purpose.

10. Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away

from sparks, open ames 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

ame, 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.

3. Use the correct machine for your application. The

correct machine will do the job better and safer at

the rate for which it was designed.

4. Do not change the engine governor settings GB

or over-speed the engine. The governor controls

the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.

5. Do not run the engine at a high speed when you

are not tilling.

6. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts

7. Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and

hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or mu󰀪er.

maintenance or making adjustments.

8. If the machine should start to make an unusual

noise or vibration, immediately shut o󰀨 the en-

gine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check

for the cause. Unusual noise or vibration is gener-

ally warning of trouble.
