SAFETY 
 
 
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and maintenance of your Buhler Farm 
King 45 Series Rotary-Tiller.  YOU must ensure that you and anyone else who is going 
to operate, maintain or work around the Rotary-Tiller be familiar with the operating and 
maintenance procedures and related  SAFETY information contained in this manual.  
This manual will take you step-by-step through your working day and alert you to all 
good safety practices that should be adhered to while operating the Tiller. 
 
Remember,  YOU are the key to safety.  Good safety practices not only protect you but 
also the people around you. Make these practices a working part of your safety 
program.  Be certain that  EVERYONE operating this equipment is familiar with the 
recommended operating and maintenance procedures and follows all the safety 
precautions.  Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring 
good safety practices. 
 
*  Tiller owners must give operating instructions to operators or employees before 
allowing them to operate the Tiller, and at least annually thereafter per OSHA 
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulation 1928.57. 
 
*  The most important safety device on this equipment is a SAFE operator.  It is the 
operator's responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions 
in the manual and to follow them.  All accidents can be avoided. 
 
*  A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is 
not qualified to operate the machine.  An untrained operator exposes himself and 
bystanders to possible serious injury or death. 
 
*  Do not modify the equipment in any way.  Unauthorized modification may impair 
the function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment.  
 
*  Think SAFETY!   Work SAFELY!
