All fasteners are checked for tightness.
When using the Trencher：
Maintain strict discipline at all times and service machine
at specified periods.
During working, people should stand in the middle of the
two handles, and keep a certain space from engaged
wheel, so that avoid injuries of foot touching engaged
wheel during walking.
Keep body parts, foreign objects and clothing clear of
rotating auger and digging chain.
Coming into contact with buried utilities while digging
can cause severe injuries or DEATH.
Contact appropriate utility representatives to determine
if/where electrical cables, gas lines, water lines, etc. are
buried BEFORE operation.
DO NOT operate the machine while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
Only use the machine in daylight or illuminance above

Never operate the dumper after dark.
This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts
operating with high energy. You must operate the
machine safely. Unsafe operation can create a number of
hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area.
Always take the following precautions when using this
machine:
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their
property, and themselves.
Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with
side shields while using the Trencher to protect your eyes
from possible thrown debris.
Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch
on moving parts.
Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your
Trencher. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wear-
ing them. Do not use the machine while barefoot or wear-
ing open sandals.
Wear earplug when using your trencher to avoid noise.
Keep bystanders at least 50 feet (15m) away from your
work area at all times.Stop the engine when another
person or pet approaches.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children and pets.Children are often
attracted to the machine and the digging activity. Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw
them. Always follow these precautions:
Keep children and pets at least 50 feet(15m) from the
working area and ensure they are under the watchful
care of a responsible adult.
Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter
the work area.
Never allow children to operate the Trencher.
Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives
off flammable vapor that can be easily ignited and cause
a fire or explosion. Never overlook the hazards of gasoline.
Always follow these precautions:
Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper
ventilation as the exhaust from the engine contains
carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and a
deadly poisonous gas.
Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed
and approved for this purpose and keep away from heat
and open flame, and out of the reach of children.
Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or
damaged and after 5 years of use.
Fill the gasoline tank outdoors with the engine off and
allow the engine to cool completely. Don't handle gasoline
if you or anyone nearby is smoking, or if you're near
anything that could cause it to ignite or explode. Reinstall
the fuel tank cap and fuel container cap securely.
If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the engine.
Move the machine away from the area of the spill and
avoid creating any source of ignition until the gas vapors
have dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire
hazard and properly dispose of the waste.
