5 ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CULTIVATORS

For your safety and the safety of others, please pay special attention to these precautions  This cultivator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to

instructions.

 Read and understand the owner's manual before operating the cultivator. Failure to do so

POW6471 EN

could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

 Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.  Never run the cultivator in an enclosed area.  Be sure to provide adequate ventilation.  When installed, ventilated protection is to be observed.  The rotating parts are sharp and they turn at high speed. Accidental contact can cause

serious injury.

 Keep your hands and feet away from the parts while engine is running.  Stop the engine and disengage the tines clutch before inspection or maintenance of tires.  Disconnect the spark plug cap to prevent any possibility of accidental starting. Wear heavy

gloves to protect your hands from the tines when clearing the tines or when inspecting or replacing the tines.

5.1 To ensure safe operation

5.1.1 Operator responsibility  Keep the cultivator in good operating condition, operating a cultivator in poor or

questionable condition could result in serious injury.

 Be sure all safety devices are in working order and warning labels are in place. These

items are installed for your safety.

 Be sure the safety covers (fan cover, recoil starter cover) are in place.  Know how to stop the engine and tines quickly in case of emergency. Understand the use

of all controls.

 Keep a firm hold on the handlebars. They may tend to lift during clutch engagement  Allowing anyone to operate this cultivator without proper training may result in injury.  Wear sturdy, full-coverage footwear, operating this cultivator, barefoot or with open toe

shoes or sandals increases your risk of injury.

 Dress sensibly. Loose clothing may get caught in moving parts, increasing your risk of

injury.

 Be alert! Operating this cultivator when you are tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol or

drugs may result in serious injury.

 Keep all persons and pets away from the tilling area.  Be sure drag bar is in place and properly adjusted.

5.1.2 Child safety  Keep children indoors and supervised at all times while any outdoor power equipment is

being used nearby. Young children move quickly and are attracted especially by the tines and tilling activity.

 Never assume children will remain where you last saw them, be alert and turn the

cultivator off if children enter the area.

 Children should never be allowed to operate the cultivator, even under adult supervision.

5.1.3 Thrown object hazard  Objects hit by the rotating tines can be thrown from the cultivator with great force, and may

cause severe injury.

 Before tilling, clear the tilling area of sticks, large stone, wires, glasses, etc. Till only in

daylight.

 Pieces thrown from worn or damaged tines can cause serious injury. Always inspect the

tines before using the cultivator.

5.1.4 Fire and burn hazard

 Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapour can explode.  Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Keep gasoline out of reach of children.  Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.  Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Fuel vapour or spilled fuel may be ignited.  The engine and exhaust system become very hot during operation and remain hot for a

while after stopping. Contact with hot engine components can cause burn injuries and can ignite some materials.

 Avoid touching a hot engine or exhaust system.  Allow the engine to cool before performing maintenance or storing the cultivator indoors.

5.1.5 Carbon monoxide poisoning hazard  Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide; a colourless and odourless gas. Breathing

exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death

 If you run the engine in an area that is confined or even partially enclosed, the air you

breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building-up, provide adequate ventilation.

5.1.6 Operation on slope

 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 cultivator on a slope.  Do not use the cultivator on a slope of more than 10°  The maximum safe grade angle shown is for reference purposes only and should be

determined according to the type of the tool. Before starting the engine, check that the cultivator is not damaged and is in good condition. For your safety and the safety of others, exercise extreme care when using the cultivator up or down hill.

6 PETROL SAFETY WARNINGS

POW6471 EN

WARNING: Use extra care when handling fuels. They are inflammable and the vapours are potentially explosive. The following points must be observed.

 Use only an approved container.  Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel when the engine is running. Allow engine exhaust

components to cool before refuelling.

 Do not smoke.  Never refuel the machine indoors.  Never store the machine or fuel containers in places where there is a naked flame, such

as a water heater.

 If fuel is spilt, do not attempt to start the power source before moving the machine away

from the spillage area.

 Always replace and securely tighten the fuel cap after refuelling.  Whenever the tank is drained, this should be done outdoors.
