Fuel Safety
WARNING
1. Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapors can explode if ignited.
Handle with care.
2. Use an approved container.
3. Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space for expansion as the heat of
the engine and/or sun can cause fuel to expand.
4. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
5. Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool
before refueling.
6. Do not smoke while refueling.
7. After refueling, replace fuel tank cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
8. Never store fuel or tiller with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may
reach an open flame.

bed. Accidental electrical static discharge can ignite fuel vapors which could
result in serious injury or death.
Storage and Maintenance Safety
WARNING
1. Always refer to the operator’s manual instructions for important details if the
tiller is to be stored for an extended period.
2. Never store the tiller with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition
sources are present such as water heaters, space heaters, clothes dryers, etc.
3. To reduce fire hazard, keep tiller free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup.
4. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
5. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove the wire from the spark
plug and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
Thoroughly inspect the tiller for any damage. If damaged, have the equipment
repaired by a trained technician before restarting and operating.
6. Stop the engine before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the unit. Make sure all
moving parts have stopped. Let the engine cool, disconnect the spark plug wire

when specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Keep the tiller in safe working condition. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals
for proper tightness.
