•
All equipment is potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who recognizes
potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices.
• When the use of hand tools is required to perform any part of assembly, installation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing,
removal, or moving the implement, be sure the tools used are designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer
for that specific task.
• Personal protection equipment including safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly,
installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the rotary tiller.
• Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly, installation, removal, or moving
the rotary tiller.
• Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly, installation,
operation, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
• Never place yourself between the tractor and implement while implement is in operation.
• Do not work under a raised implement unless it is securely blocked or held in position. Do not depend on the tractor
hydraulic system to hold the implement in place.
• A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and watch
out for bumps. The tractor may need front counter-weights to counter-balance the weight of the implement.
• Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this equipment.
Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.
• Do not allow others to ride on the tractor with an operator. Riders are subject to injury such as being struck by for-
eign objects or being thrown off. Riders obstruct the operator's view resulting in unsafe
operation. Never allow anyone to ride on the implement!
• Before you operate the rotary tiller, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in place.
Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
• Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the safety rules and operation instructions to use this rotary tiller.
Never allow children to operate or be around equipment.
• Use stabilizer bars, adjustable sway chains, or sway blocks on your tractor lift arms to keep the rotary tiller from
swinging side to side. Adjust as tightly as practical for best performance.
• Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when working with the implement.
• When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance for
the implement.
• Do not operate close to ditches or creeks. Slow down when operating over rough ground.
• Always be sure the implement is in the fully raised position when in transport.
• When adjusting the assembly, be sure that your feet are never under the rotary tiller.
• Use extreme caution when backfilling deep holes or trenches.
• Be careful to avoid catching the rotary tiller on stumps or other immovable objects.
• Use care when working on slopes.
• Avoid excessive speed during operation.
• Make adjustments only when the implement is attached to the tractor.
• Do not use the rotary tiller in a reverse position, use extra care. Do not ram rotary tiller into piles of dirt. Tractor
lift arms and the rotary tiller are not built to take high impact loads in this position. Ramming backwards can also
dislodge operator from seat and/or tractor controls, resulting in possible serious injury or death.
• Always ease the tractor into the load. It may be necessary to reposition and take less "bite" on the material to
move it safely.
• Watch for and avoid hidden obstructions, i.e., buried pipes, rocks, concrete piers, uneven concrete slabs, stumps, etc.,
when operating.
