5. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, 
stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug 
wire and prevent it from touching the spark 
plug, and check immediately for the cause. Vi-
bration is generally a warning of trouble.
6. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark 
plug wire and prevent it from touching the 
spark plug whenever you leave the operat-
ing position, before unclogging the tines, 
or when making any repairs, adjustments 
or inspections.
7. Take all possible precautions when leav-
ing the machine unattended. Stop the en-
gine.  Disconnect spark plug wire and 
move it away from the spark plug. Move 
Wheel Gear Lever to ENGAGE. 
8. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspect-
ing, stop the engine and make certain all 
moving parts have stopped. Disconnect 
the spark plug wire and prevent it from 
touching the spark plug to prevent acci-
dental starting. 
9. Always keep the tiller tine hood flap 
down.
10. Never use the tiller unless proper 
guards, plates, or other safety protective de-
vices are in place.
11. Do not run engine in an enclosed area. 
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide 
gas, a deadly poison that is odorless, col-
orless, and tasteless.
12. Keep children and pets away.
13. Never operate the tiller under engine 
power if the Wheel Gear Lever is in DIS-
ENGAGE (FREEWHEEL). In this position, 
the wheels will not hold the tiller back 
and the revolving tines could propel the 
tiller rapidly backward, possibly causing 
loss of control.
 Always move the Wheel 
Gear Lever to ENGAGE before starting the 
engine or engaging the tines
⁄wheels with 
the Forward Clutch or the Reverse Clutch.
14. Be aware that the tiller may unexpect-
edly bounce upward or jump backward if 
the tines should strike extremely hard 
packed soil, frozen ground, or buried ob-
stacles like large stones, roots, or stumps. 
If in doubt about the tilling conditions, al-
ways use the following operating precau-
tions to assist you in maintaining control 
of the tiller:
a.  Walk behind and to one side of the 
tiller, using one hand on the han-
dlebars. Relax your arm, but use a 
secure hand grip.
b.  Use slower engine speeds.
c.  Clear the tilling area of all large 
stones, roots and other debris. 
d.  Avoid using downward pressure on 
handlebars. If need be, use slight 
upward pressure to keep the tines 
from digging too deeply.
e.  Before contacting hard packed soil 
at the end of a row, reduce engine 
speed and lift handlebars to raise 
tines out of the soil.
f.   In an emergency, stop tines and 
wheels by releasing whichever 
Clutch Lever is engaged. Do not at-
tempt to restrain the tiller.
15. Do not overload the tiller’s capacity by 
attempting to till too deeply at too fast a 
rate.
16. Never operate the tiller at high trans-
port speeds on slippery surfaces. Look be-
hind and use care when backing up.
17. Do not operate the tiller on a slope that 
is too steep for safety. When on slopes, 
slow down and make sure you have good 
footing. Never permit the tiller to freewheel 
down slopes.
18. Never allow bystanders near the unit.
19. Only use attachments and accessories 
that are approved by Garden Way Inc.
20. Use tiller attachments and accessories 
when recommended.
21. Never operate the tiller without good vis-
ibility or light.
22. Never operate the tiller if you are tired, or 
under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medi-
cation.
23. Operators shall not tamper with the engine-
governor settings on the machine; the governor 
controls the maximum safe operating speed to 
protect the engine and all moving parts from 
damage caused by overspeed.  Authorized ser-
vice shall be sought if a problem exists.
24. Do not touch engine parts which may be 
hot from operation. Let parts cool down 
25. Please remember: You can always stop the 
tines and wheels by releasing the Forward 
Clutch Lever or the Reverse Clutch Control 
(whichever lever you have engaged) or by mov-
ing the Throttle Control Lever to STOP.
26. To load or unload the tiller, see the instruc-
tions in Section 4 of this Manual.
27. Use extreme caution when reversing or 
pulling the machine towards you.
28. Start the engine carefully according to in-
structions and with feet well away from the 
tines.
29.  Never pick up or carry a machine while the 
engine is running.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Keep the tiller, attachments and acces-
sories in safe working condition.
2. Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at fre-
quent intervals for proper tightness to be 
sure the equipment is in safe working con-
dition.
3. Never store the tiller with fuel in the fuel tank 
inside a building where ignition sources are 
present such as hot water and space heaters, 
furnaces, clothes dryers, stoves, electric mo-
tors, etc.).  Allow engine to cool before storing 
in any enclosure.
4. To reduce the chances of a fire hazard, keep 
the engine free of grass, leaves, or excessive 
grease.
5. Store gasoline in a cool, well-ventilated 
area, safely away from any spark- or flame-
producing equipment. Store gasoline in an 
approved container, safely away from the 
reach of children.
6. Refer to the storage instructions in the 
Maintenance section of this Manual and the 
separate Engine Owner’s Manual for in-
structions if the tiller is to be stored for an 
extended period.
7. Never perform maintenance while the en-
gine is running or the spark plug wire is 
connected, except when specifically in-
structed to do so.
8. If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this 
outdoors.
