WARNING:
 This symbol points out important safety instructions which, if not followed, could endanger 
the personal safety and/or property of yourself and others. Read and follow all instructions in this 
manual before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply with these instructions may result 
in personal injury. When you see this symbol—heed its warning.
DANGER:
 
This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this 
manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can 
result in serious injury. This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet, and throwing objects. 
Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
General Operation
Read this operator’s manual carefully in its entirety 
before attempting to assemble this machine. Read, 
understand, and follow all instructions on the 
machine and in the manual(s) before operation. Be 
completely familiar with the controls and the proper 
use of this machine before operating it. Keep this 
manual in a safe place for future and regular 
reference and for ordering replacement parts.
This machine is a precision piece of power 
equipment, not a plaything. Therefore, exercise 
extreme caution at all times. Your unit has been 
designed to perform one job: to till soil. Do not use it 
for any other purpose.
Never allow children under 14 years old to operate 
this machine. Children 14 years old and over should 
read and understand the operation instructions and 
safety rules in this manual and should be trained 
and supervised by a parent. Only responsible 
individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe 
operation should be allowed to use your machine.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is 
to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, 
toys and other foreign objects which could be 
picked up and thrown by the tiller tines in any 
direction which could cause serious personal injury 
to the operator or any others allowed in the area. 
Plan your tilling pattern to avoid discharge of 
material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and 
the like. To help avoid tine contact or a thrown 
object injury, keep children, bystanders and helpers 
at least 75 feet from the tiller attachment while it is in 
operation. Stop tiller if anyone enters the area.
Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles 
during operation or while performing an adjustment 
or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that 
may be thrown from the machine in any direction.
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-
fitting slacks and shirts. Shirts and pants that cover 
the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are 
recommended. Loose fitting clothes and jewelry 
can be caught in movable parts. Never operate a 
unit in bare feet, sandals, slippery or light weight 
(e.g. canvas) shoes.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating 
parts. Keep clear of the tiller tines at all times as the 
rotating tines can cause injury. 
Never operate the tiller without the rear deflector in 
its proper place.
Disengage the PTO and raise the tiller attachment 
when crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing 
roadways. This machine is not intended for use on 
any public roadway. 
Do not operate while under the influence of alcohol 
or drugs.
Use tiller attachment in daylight or in good artificial 
light only.
Never carry passengers.
Slow down before turning. Operate the machine 
smoothly. Avoid erratic operation and excessive 
speed.
Use a slow ground speed when tilling soil for the 
first time. Fast speeds may cause you to lose 
control and may also damage the machine.
Disengage the PTO and raise the tiller attachment 
before shifting into reverse and backing up. Always 
look down and behind before and while backing up 
to avoid a back-over accident.
Disengage the PTO and raise the tiller attachment 
before making sharp turns. Leaving the tiller 
lowered and engaged may adversely affect the 
steering and control of the tractor.
Use extra caution when making turns, especially in 
tight areas or around obstacles. The tiller 
attachment extends beyond the back of the tractor 
and could strike an adjacent object (e.g. tree, fence, 
bystander etc.) which could damage the machine or 
cause personal injury.
Check overhead clearances carefully before driving 
under power lines, wires, bridges, low hanging tree 
branches, before entering or exiting buildings, or 
any other situation where the operator may be 
struck or pulled from the unit, which could result in 
serious personal injury. 
Disengage the PTO and raise the tiller attachment 
when not in use.
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always 
disengage PTO, place transmission in neutral, set
