The combustion engine releases poisonous gases as soon
as it starts running. These gases contain toxic carbon
monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas, as well as other
harmful substances. The combustion engine may never be
started inside confined or poorly ventilated spaces.
Hold the handlebar firmly, so your hands don't get off the
handlebar when the tines start rotating. Pay special
attention when reversing.
On uneven or stony soil, the user should operate the tiller
at low speed. The tiller tends to be less stable than on
cultivated soil.
Do not start the tiller on asphalt floors, tiles, etc.
Start-up:
Turn the tiller on carefully following the operating
instructions in the instruction manual. Using the tiller
according to these instructions reduces the risk of injury.
When the recoil starter returns to its original position,
your hand and arm can be dragged quickly towards
the combustion engine. This retraction may cause
fractures, bruises and sprains.
Make sure your feet are far away from the tines.
The machine must not be tilted when started and the
drive/clutch lever must not be engaged.
Working on sloping ground:
Keep a constant pace and always adopt a stable posture
when working on sloping terrain. Avoid working with the
machine on slopes that are too steep.
On sloping terrain, always work moving the tiller
transversally having in consideration the terrain inclination;
never the opposite, going up or down directly on the slope.
The user must never stand in a position below the running
tiller. If the user loses control, he could be run over.
The tiller can turn upside down when working on
steep terrains. Do not use the tiller on a slope of more
than 10° (17%). Slope of 10° corresponds to a vertical rise
of 17 cm in a horizontal length of 100 cm.
If the tiller is being used on slopes, information regarding
the use of the combustion engine must be observed in
order to ensure proper lubrication. Reduce the amount of
fuel in the tank to avoid spillage.
Operating instructions:
Never place your hands or feet over or under the
rotating parts.
For safety reasons, always hold the handlebar grips with
both hands while the tiller is running. Never work with one
hand only.
Adjust the working depth using the depth rod.
Operate the tiller with special care on difficult to work soils
(e.g. stony or hard), reduce the tines' speed (speed
control).
Only operate the tiller keeping a steady walking pace, never
run while operating the tiller. If you attempt to operate the
tiller at a fast pace, you risk stumbling, slipping, etc.
When reversing the tiller, be aware and make sure
that there is a large distance between the tines and
the feet when pulling the tiller or reversing.
When reversing, pay attention to the obstacles behind
in order to avoid falls, unbalancing and crushing.
If the machine gets stuck, switch off the combustion engine
and remove the spark plug cap. Lift and release the
machine with the help of another person.
Stop the combustion engine:
▪ The machine must be tilted for transport;
▪ Whenever you intend to move away from the tiller or if it
is not under watch;
▪ Before refuelling the tank. Only refuel when the
combustion engine is cold;
▪ If the tiller is pushed or pulled into a soil that is not
intended to be worked.
