Operator responsibility
• Never attempt to modify the tiller. It can cause an accident as well as
damage to the tiller and appliances. Tampering with the engine voids
the EU type-approval of this engine.
– Do not connect an extension to the muffler.
– Do not modify the intake system.
– Do not adjust the governor.
• Keep the tiller in good operating condition. Operating a tiller in poor
or questionable condition could result in serious injury.
• Be sure all safety devices are in working order and warning labels are
in place. These items are installed for your safety.
• Be sure the safety covers (tine covers, fan cover and recoil starter
cover) are in places.
• Know how to stop the engine and tines quickly in case of emergency.
Understand the use of all controls.
• Keep a firm hold on the handlebars. They may tend to lift during
