CAUTION:
Always disconnect spark
plug wire and place wire where it cannot
contact spark plug to prevent accidental
starting when setting-up, transporting,
adjusting or making repairs.
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require
operator presence controls to minimize the
risk of injury. Your cultivator is equipped
with such controls. Do not attempt to defeat
the function of the operator presence
control under any circumstances.
BEFORE USE
= Read the owner's manual carefully. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls and
the proper use of the cultivator. Know
how to stop the cultivator and disengage
the controls quickly.
° Do not operate the cultivator without
wearing adequate outer garments. Wear
footwear that will improve footing on
slippery surfaces.
= Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, particularly small children and
pets.
° Thoroughly inspect the area where the
cultivator is to be used and remove all
foreign objects.
FUEL SAFETY
• Handle fuel with care; it is highly flam-
mable.
° Use an approved container.
° Check fuel supply before each use,
allowing space for expansion as the heat
of the engine and/or sun can cause fuel to
expand.
° Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Replace fuel
tank cap securely and wipe up spilled
fuel.
° Never remove the fuel tank cap or add
fuel to a running or hot engine.
