Diesel fueling and handling

Diesel is toxic and highly flammable! Keep diesel
only in jerry cans designed and approved for this
purpose. Always screw and tighten tank caps and fuel
containers. Defective caps must be replaced.
Never use bottles or similar to remove or store service
products such as fuel. Someone, particularly children,
may be mistakenly taken to drink them.
Keep diesel away from sparks, flames, heat
sources or other ignition sources. Do not smoke
near diesel jerry cans and appliances with diesel on the
tank, or during the fueling process.
Refill and empty the fuel tank outdoors only. Before
refueling, shut of the engine and let it cool down.
Diesel fueling shall be carried out before running the
combustion engine. While the engine is running, it is not
permitted to open the tank cap or refuel.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. In order to allow space for
fuel to expand, never add fuel above the lower edge of
the filler neck. Please also observe the information in
the combustion engine operating instructions.
If diesel overflows, immediately clean any spilled fuel.
The combustion engine should only be started after the
dirty diesel surface has been cleaned. Any attempt at
ignition shall be avoided until the diesel vapors have
volatilized (dry with cloth).
If diesel has come into contact with the clothing, it must
be changed.

Clothing and equipment

Always wear resistant shoes with non-slip sole that
completely covers the foot. Never work barefoot or
wearing sandals, for example.
When carrying out maintenance and cleaning work,
changing accessories and transporting the appliance,
always wear close-fitting gloves.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry. Clothing
worn during the appliance operation must be adequate,
tight and closed, for example, a work boiler suit. Do not
wear scarves, ties, necklaces or other similar close-
fitting clothing.
Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
The rotating parts can touch or drag the hair or clothes,
resulting in serious injury.

Transport

Do not transport the tiller while the combustion engine
is running. Before moving it, stop the engine and wait
for the tines to stop completely.
Always transport the equipment when the engine is
cold and without fuel.
The tiller should always be moved by two people. Use
loading ramps, lifting devices.
For safety reasons, it is not permitted to exceed an
angle of inclination of 15° during transport and loading,
especially when using loading ramps.
Protect the appliance and its parts carried with straps,
cables, etc. Never transport the tiller with loose parts.
Carry the machine with a suitable trailer or on a suitable
loading surface, and not in the passenger compartment
(e.g. trunk) of a vehicle.
When transporting the machine, in force regional
legislation must be respected, in particular that
concerning the load being transported and the
transport of objects on loading surfaces.
