OPERATION

PRE-OPERATION CHECK

1. Visually check all moving parts and all fasteners. 

If loose or broken, tighten or replace.  Check 
for and replace any broken, bent or excessively 
worn tines. 

2.  Lubricate all lubrication fittings before each days 

use or after every eight hours of operation (see 
SERVICE section).

3. Check the engine crankcase oil level with the 

engine resting in a level position.  Add oil if 
necessary (see SERVICE section).

4. Follow the engine manufacturer's 

recommendations for the correct type and 
amount of oil.  Fill the fuel tank according to the 
engine manufacturer's specifications.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly 

explosive under certain conditions.  Always stop 
the engine and do not smoke or allow open 
flames or sparks when refueling. 

BE SURE

 to 

install fuel cap after refueling.

NEVER

 start or run the engine inside where exhaust 

fumes can collect.  Carbon monoxide present in the 
exhaust is an odorless and deadly gas.

DO NOT

 operate equipment without shields in place.  

DO NOT

 make adjustments or perform any 

maintenance while the engine is running.

Before operating, check the area and remove any 
object which may present a safety hazard or damage 
the equipment.

This unit is not designed to be used on steep slopes.  
To prevent injury and/or damage to equipment, use 
extreme caution when operating near terraces or hilly 
terrain.  Travel up and down slopes at a 45 degree 
angle rather that across, to prevent unit from tipping 
over, 

DO NOT

 release clutch handle on a slope;  this 

will cause freewheeling, allowing the unit to roll down 
the slope.
