• Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine
is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two
minutes before refueling.
• Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½
inch below bottom of filler neck to provide space for
fuel expansion.
• Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
• If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the tractor’s fender.
Move unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes before
starting the engine.
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside
where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light as
on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes
dryer, or other gas appliances.

General Service:
• Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly
ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain the tines and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against
the engine to prevent unintended starting.
• Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the
machine while the engine is running.
• Never check for leaks in the hydraulic lines with
your hands. Hot, high pressure fluid can escape
through a pin hole leak and cause serious injury by
puncturing the skin and causing blood poisoning.
• Muffler, engine and belt guards become hot during
normal operation and can cause a burn. Hydraulic
hoses, fittings and fluid also become hot during
normal operation. Allow the machine, tiller
attachment, and its related hardware time to cool
before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting.
• Check the tine mounting bolts at frequent intervals
for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect tines for
damage (e.g., bent, cracked, worn etc.) Replace
tines with the original equipment manufacture’s
(O.E.M.) tines only, listed in this manual. “Use of
parts which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance
and compromise safety!”
• Tiller tines are sharp and can cause serious injury.
Wrap the tines or wear gloves, and use extra
caution when servicing them.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly. Use all guards as
instructed in this manual.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against
the engine. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any
damage. Repair the damage before starting and
operating.
• Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected
to wear during normal operation. Adjust and service
as required.
• If the tractor or tiller attachment should begin to
vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check over
the equipment immediately for the cause. Abnormal
vibration is a warning of a problem.
• Do not change the engine governor setting or
overspeed the engine.
• Observe proper disposal laws and regulations.
Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm
the environment.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
