all safety, controls and operating instructions in this Operator's
Manual.

personal injury
Introduction
Read this section before you start the engine. Then, take the time
to familiarize yourself with the basic operation of the tiller before
using it in the garden. Find an open, level area and practice using
the tiller controls without the tines engaging the soil (put tines in
"travel" setting). Only after you've become completely familiar
with the tiller should you begin using it in the garden.

WARNING
Gasoline can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of
space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion although
more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline can be
forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if overfilled and can
affect the stable running condition of the tiller.
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating
of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the
tank to allow for gasoline expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the tiller at the pump. Use
an approved container to transfer the gasoline to the tiller.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result in
blow back of gasoline at the operator while filling.
