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.
If a ventilation system is installed, ensure you follow the applicable safety rules.
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 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.
POWXG7205 EN
Copyright © 2014 VARO NV P a g e | 5 www.varo.com
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 stones, wire, glass, 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
Petrol is extremely inflammable, and petrol vapour can explode.
Use extreme care when handling petrol. Keep petrol 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 fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide, a colourless and odourless gas.
Breathing in exhaust fumes 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.
POWXG7205 EN
Copyright © 2014 VARO NV P a g e | 6 www.varo.com
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 angle for safe
working (as shown) is for reference purposes only and should be determined according to
the type of 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 a hill.
