Owner’s Manual
TS-720 E-Z Tiller™
Safety Precautions
NOTE: These instructions are for your protection. Please read them carefully.
Training
Before using your E-Z Tiller for the first time, read the entire Owner's Manual carefully. It is important to be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
Never allow children to operate the equipment. Don't let friends or neighbors use your E-Z Tiller without proper instruction.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets.
Preparation
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all foreign objects.
Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate outer garments. Wear footwear which will improve footing on slippery
surfaces.
Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
a) Use an approved fuel container.
b) Never add fuel to a running or hot engine.
c) Never fill fuel tank indoors.
d) Replace gasoline cap securely and clean up spilled fuel before restarting.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running (except where specifically recommended in this manual.)
Operation
1. Keep hands and feet away from rotating tines.
2. Use extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, roads.
3. If you should strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug
to prevent accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect the tiller for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the tiller.
4. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
5. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
6. Stop the engine whenever you leave the operating position. Also disconnect spark plug wire before unclogging the tmes and
when making any repairs, adjustments, and inspections.
7. Take all possible precautions whenever you leave the machine unattended. Always stop the engine. Never leave engine
unattended while running.
8. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped.
9. NEVER run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes contain CARBON MONOXIDE which is an ODORLESS and DEADLY POISONOUS
GAS.
10. Never operate the tiller without proper guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in place.
11. Keep children and pets away from the tiller while it is running.
12. Do not overload the machine's capacity by attempting to till too deep at too fast a rate.
13. Never allow bystanders near unit.
14. Never operate the tiller without good visibility or light.
15. Be careful during cleaning not to get the engine or start switch wet, as this may cause the electrical system to short circuit. If
the engine or switch becomes wet, dry before use.
