WARNING
ENGINES GIVE OFF CARBON MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS,
COLORLESS, POISONOUS GAS. CARBON MONOXIDE MAY
BE PRESENT EVEN IF YOU DO NOT SMELL OR SEE ANY
ENGINE EXHAUST. BREATHING CARBON MONOXIDE
CAN CAUSE NAUSEA, FAINTING OR DEATH, IN ADDITION
TO DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS AND CONFUSION.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, SEEK
FRESH AIR AND MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
HOT GASES ARE A NORMAL BY-PRODUCT OF A
FUNCTIONING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE. FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT BURNS AND
FIRES.
DO NOT ALTER/MODIFY ENGINE:
•
NEVER ALTER OR MODIFY THE ENGINE FROM THE
FACTORY. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF
ENGINE IS MODIFIED OR ALTERED.
•
WHEN WORKING ON OR REPLACING PARTS FOR THE
ENGINE OR PRODUCT, YOU MUST ALWAYS PUT THE ON/
OFF SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION.
where the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not easily
taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole or areas
where hills surround your working area.)
•
Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed area.
(Examples include: buildings that are enclosed on one or
more sides, under tents, car ports or basements.)
•
Always run the engine with the exhaust and muffler point-
ed in the direction away from the operator.
•
Never point the exhaust muffler towards anyone. People
should always be many feet away from the operation of
the engine and its attachments.
•
Do not change the engine governor settings or over-
speed the engine.
PREPARATION

VERSA COMPACT TILLER AND CULTIVATOR
•
Carefully inspect the area to be tilled and remove all
foreign objects. Do not till above underground water lines,
gas lines, electric cables, or pipes. Do not operate the
tiller in soil with large rocks and foreign objects which can
damage the equipment.
•
Disengage all clutches and leave control lever in the neu-
tral position before starting the engine (motor).
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are
extremely flammable and vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
ignition.
•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine run-
ning.
•
Allow engine to cool before refueling.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where there
is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water
heater or on other appliances.
•
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
•
Remove gas powered equipment from the truck or trailer
and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
•
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do
not use a nozzle lock open device.
•
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
•
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
•
If fuel is spilled do not attempt to start the engine but
move the machine away from the area of spillage and
avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have
dissipated.
•
Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric
discharge. Use only nonmetal, portable fuel containers
approved by the Underwriter's Laboratory (U.L.) or the
American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM).
•
Always fill fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area. Never
fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include:
basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.).
•
Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting and
using engine.
•
Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed on
the engine.

OPERATION
•
Do not allow hands, feet, or other body parts, or clothing
near the rotating tines or any other moving part. The tines
begin to rotate once the engine/motor is started and the
activating device is engaged. The tines may momentarily
rotate after the activating device is released.
•
Exercise extreme caution when crossing gravel surfaces.
Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
•
If an object becomes lodged in the tines, flip the ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position, allow to cool before attempt-
ing to remove the foreign object.
•
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), re-
move the wire from the spark plug (or disconnect the cord
for electric products), thoroughly inspect the machine for
any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the machine.
•
Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
•
If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.
•
Stop the engine (motor) when leaving the operating po-
sition, before unclogging the tines, and when making any
repairs, adjustments and inspections.
•
Stop the engine (motor) when leaving the machine unat-
tended.
•
Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, shut off the
engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away

counterweights, and the like).
•
Never operate the tiller without good visibility or light.
•
Be careful when tilling in hard ground. The tines may catch
in the ground and propel the tiller forward. If this occurs,
let go of the handlebars and do not restrain the machine.
•
Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
machine towards you. To avoid getting pinned against a
structure, ensure adequate distance before reversing near
a wall or fence.

Powered walk-behind tiller work is strenuous. You must be
in good physical condition and mentally alert. If you have
any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before operating a powered
walk-behind tiller.
