14. Stop the motor immediately if you notice any trouble.
15. Follow the instruction manual of the power
unit for starting the motor.
Transportation
Stop the motor during transportation.
1.
Otherwise unintentional start-up may cause injury.
2.
Ensure safe position of the machine during car
transportation to avoid fuel leakage.
3.
Lift the entire machine from the ground when
carrying the machine. Dragging the machine
causes fuel tank damage and fuel leakage, result-
ing in fire.
4.
When transporting the equipment, carry it in a
horizontal position by holding the shaft. Keep
the hot muffler away from your body.
Operation
1.
During operation, keep bystanders or ani-
mals at least 5 m (17 ft) away from the culti-
vator. Stop the motor as soon as someone
approaches.
In the event of an emergency, switch off the
2.
motor immediately.
3.
If you feel any unusual condition (e.g. noise,
vibration) during operation, switch off the
motor. Do not use the machine until the cause
is recognized and solved.
4.
With the engine running only at idle, attach the
shoulder harness.
5.
During operation, use the shoulder harness.
Keep the machine on your right side firmly.
6.
Hold the front handle with the left hand and the
rear grip with the right hand, no matter you are
right-hander or left-hander. Wrap your fingers
and thumbs around the handles.
7.
Never attempt to operate the machine with one
hand. Loss of control may result in serious or
fatal injury. To reduce the risk of cut injuries,
keep your hands and feet away from the rotor
blades.
8.
When operating, do not raise the rotor blades
above waist height.
9.
The rotor blades continue to move for a short
period after releasing the throttle trigger or
switch off the motor. Don't rush to contact the
rotor blades.
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Watch for hidden obsta-
cles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches to
avoid stumbling.
11.
Use extreme caution when reversing the blade
rotation or pulling the machine toward you. If
the power unit has reverse rotation function,
do not use it more than necessary. When oper-
ated in reverse rotation, the cultivator will push
you if the rotor blades are on the ground.
12. Do not overload the machine capacity by
attempting to till too deep at too fast a rate. The
machine will do better work when used with proper
load and there is less likelihood of a risk of injury.
13. Do not accelerate the motor with the rotor
blades blocked. It increases the load and will
damage the machine.
14. Be careful when tilling in hard ground. The
tines may catch in the ground and propel the
tiller forward. If this occurs, let go of the han-
dles and do not restrain the machine.
15. If the machine gets heavy impact or fall, check
the condition before continuing work. Check
the fuel system for fuel leakage and the con-
trols and safety devices for malfunction. If there
is any damage or doubt, ask our authorized
service center for the inspection and repair.
16. Do not touch the gear case. The gear case
becomes hot during operation.
17. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused
by fatigue. We recommend to take a 10 to
20-minute rest every hour.
18. When you leave the machine, even if it is a
short time, always switch off the engine or
remove the battery cartridge. The machine unat-
tended with the engine running may be used by
unauthorized person and cause serious accident.
19. Follow the instruction manual of the power
unit for proper use of the control lever and
switch.
20. During or after operation, do not put the
hot machine onto dry grass or combustible
materials.
21. If the rotor blades catch weeds or the like,
switch off the motor and remove the spark
plug cap or battery cartridge, and then remove
the obstructions.
22. Keep your hands and feet clear of the rotor
blades. Contacting the rotor blades can result
in serious injury. When handling the rotor
blades, stop the motor and remove the spark
plug cap or battery cartridge.
23. Check the rotor blades frequently during oper-
ation for cracks or blunt edges.
24. Always switch off the engine or remove the
battery cartridge when removing the debris
of plants such as roots tangled in the rotor
blades.
25. Refer to the instruction manual of the power
unit for how to start and control the machine.
