parking brake, turn engine off and remove key 
before dismounting.
Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and wait until 
the tiller comes to a complete stop before making 
any repairs, adjustments, or removing any rocks or 
debris.
Use extra caution when loading or unloading the 
machine into a trailer or truck. A tractor with a tiller 
attachment should not be driven up or down a ramp 
onto a trailer or truck under power, the unit could tip 
over causing serious personal injury. The unit must 
be pushed manually to load or unload properly.
Follow all manufacturer’s recommendations for use 
of counterweights to improve machine stability. 
If situations occur which are not covered in this 
manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your 
dealer for assistance. Telephone 1-800-528-1009 
for the name of your nearest dealer.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and 
tip-over accidents which can result in severe injury or 
death. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If 
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, 
do not till it. For your safety, use the slope gauge 
included as part of this manual to measure slopes 
before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the 
slope is greater than 10 degrees as shown on the slope 
gauge, do not operate this unit on that area or serious 
injury could result.
Do:
Till up and down slopes, not across. Exercise 
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, and hidden objects 
(e.g. rocks etc.) which can be under the soil. 
Uneven terrain could overturn the machine which 
may cause personal injury.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed 
setting so that you will not have to stop or shift while 
on the slope. Always keep the machine in gear 
when going down slopes to take advantage of the 
engine braking action. 
Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual. 
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. 
Rapid engagement or braking could cause the front 
of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards 
which could cause serious personal injury.
Avoid starting and stopping on a slope. If tires lose 
traction, Disengage the PTO and proceed slowly 
straight down the slope.
Use extra care with the tiller attachment as it can 
change the stability of the machine.
Follow all manufacturer’s recommendations for 
wheel weights or counterweights to improve the 
stability of the machine. 
Do Not:
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn 
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
Do not till near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. 
The machine could suddenly overturn if a wheel or 
the attachment is over the edge, or if the edge 
caves in.
Do not operate machine on wet grass. Reduced 
traction could cause sliding and loss of control of the 
machine.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your 
foot on the ground. 
Do not till slopes greater than 10 degrees as shown 
on the slope gauge.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to 
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to 
the machine and the tilling activity. They do not 
understand the dangers. Never assume that children 
will remain where you last saw them.
Keep children out of the tilling area and under the 
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the 
operator.
Be alert and turn the machine off if a child enters the 
area.
Before and while moving backwards, look behind 
and down for small children.
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, 
doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may 
obscure your vision of a child who may run into the 
machine.
Never carry children, even with the attachment 
disengaged. They may fall off and be seriously 
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
Keep children away from hot or running engines. 
They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.
Remove key when machine is unattended to 
prevent unauthorized operation. 
Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a 
power mower. 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.
Service
Safe Handling of Gasoline:
To avoid personal injury or property damage use 
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is 
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. 
Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is 
spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite. 
Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
Use only an approved gasoline container.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other 
sources of ignition.
Never fuel machine indoors because flammable 
vapors will accumulate in the area.
