Check that all nuts and screws are properly tightened. It
is important to regularly inspect the tiller to ensure
safety issues and its performance.

Before using the machine, check that the spark plug is
properly connected to the spakr plug cap.

Inspect the soil, where you will use the tiller and remove
all large stones, sticks, wires, glass, metals, bones and
other foreign objects that may be projected by the tiller.

Objects  hidden  in  the  soil  (sprinkler  system,  stakes,
water  taps,  electrical  cables,  etc.)  must  be  visibly
marked in order to be bypassed by the tiller.  Never pass
over these foreign objects.

Before start-up, to ensure you work safely with the
tiller, you need to check if:

▪

The whole machine is assembled correctly and if the
tines are assembled firmly and securely;

▪

The  safety  devices  (e.g.  traction  mechanism  levers,
fender  guards,  guards,  handlebars,  grid)  are  in
perfect  condition  and  working  correctly.  Never  use
the  equipment  if  the  safety  devices  are  missing,
damaged or worn out;

▪

The tank, fuel system components and cap are in
perfect condition;

▪

The engine oil filler cap is properly tightened;

Make all adjustments and work necessary. If you have
any questions or difficulties, contact your official dealer.

Before start up, remove all objects on top of the
machine (tools, accessories, cloths, etc.).

Observe the local regulations on the hours when it is
allowed to use tools with a combustion engine and the
permitted noise level.

While operating

Keep third parties away from the tiller's area of
operation. Never work while animals or people,

especially children, are in the danger zone. During
work, earth and stones can be projected.

The appliance can only be used by a single person. The
operator has to stay within the working area.

During operation, the tiller may never be lifted, pushed
or pulled by the transport handle, or other parts of the
appliance except by the handlebar grips, especially by a
second person.

The  control  and  safety  devices  installed  in  the  tiller
cannot be removed or inhibited.   In particular, never fix
the  drive  mechanism  levers  to  the  upper  part  of  the
handlebars.

Never place your hands or feet near rotating parts.
You should always keep a safety distance. The

safety  distance  is  determined  by  the  length  of  the
correctly  assemble  handlebar,  do  not  modify  the
handlebar  and never  start  the  machine  with  a  folding
handlebar.

Never attach objects to the handlebars (e.g. work
clothing).

Work only in daylight or with good artificial lighting and
do not work with the tiller exposed to the rain, thunder
and, in particular, under the danger of lightning.

When the soil is wet, there is a greater risk of accidents
due to the less safe working position. You must work
carefully to avoid slipping. If possible, avoid using the
tiller with a wet soil.

Use the appliance with special caution when working
near slopes, ditches and wells. In particular, keep a safe
distance from these hazardous locations.

In case of nausea, headaches, sight problems (eg.
reduced vision), hearing problems, dizziness and

reduced ability to concentrate, stop working
immediately. These symptoms may be caused by high
exhaust gas concentration.

The  combustion  engine  produces  poisonous  gases  as
soon  as  it  starts  running.      These  gases  contain  toxic
carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas, as well as
other harmful substances.  The combustion engine may
never be turned on inside confined or poorly ventilated
spaces.
