Stopping The Engine - Craftsman CMXGVAM1144036 Manual De Instrucciones

5. If equipped with an emergency stop control switch, make sure that the
emergency stop control is set to the ON position, represented by the solid
line, while attempting to start the engine. See Figure 15.
6. Start the engine as instructed in the Engine Operator's Manual.
IMPORTANT! If equipped with an emergency stop control switch, verify the stop control
function works properly before each use by moving the switch to the OFF position with the
engine running. Only continue operation if the emergency stop control switch stops the
engine.

Stopping the Engine

2. Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual for instructions on stopping the
engine.
Using Emergency Stop Control (If Equipped)

the OFF position, represented by the circle. See Figure 15.
Engage Drive & Tines

OPERATION
2. When tilling, relax and let the wheels pull the machine while the tines dig.
Walk behind and a little to one side of the tiller. Use one hand, yet keep
a light — but secure — grip on the handlebar (while keeping your arm
loose). See Figure 16. Let the tiller move at its own pace and do not push
down on the handlebars to try and force the tines to dig deeper — this takes
weight off the wheels and reduces traction.
Do not push down on the handlebars to try to make the tiller till more
deeply. This prevents the wheels from holding the tiller back and can allow
the tines to rapidly propel the tiller forward, which could result in loss of
control, property damage, or personal injury.
