SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

machine towards you.
Always be sure of your footing; keep a firm hold on the
handles and walk; never run.
If the tiller should start to vibrate abnormally or become
noisy, stop the motor and check immediately for the

ble.
Keep all fasteners tight to be sure the tiller is in safe work-
ing condition.
Check that the hitch pins are fully inserted on the tine
