MANUAL No. 2-9966 (LR 5/96) Printed in U.S.A. E GUIDELINE8 то , SNAPPER INTRODUCTION Your SNAPPER® Tiller was designed to make gardening much easier and more enjoyable. However, always keep in mind that this work-saver is a powerful machine capable of causing injury and property damage when used improperly. People are treated in hospitals for tiller related injuries each year. These injuries include painfully crushed or broken bones, bums, lacerations, amputations, and even death. Don’t become a statistic! Accidents happen most often when people don’t learn how to operate the equipment properly or don’t use common sense and get careless. Get to know the danger zones and keep constantly aware of the potential hazards of operating your Tiller. Also, DO NOT let pre-teenage children, immature teenagers, or untrained adults operate your machine. Make sure all operators become thoroughly familiar with all controls and understand a]] of the SAFETY Instructions before allowing them to operate your Tiller. SNAPPER® presents some important SAFETY Precautions on the following pages. Read and review this booklet often for SAFETY’S sake. PREPARE YOURSELF Read the Operator’s Manual before starting or operating the Tiller for the first time and at the beginning of each tilling season. Know where all controls are located and learn the function of each. GET TO KNOW YOUR MACHINE Pay particular attention to the Important Safety Instructions in the Operator’s Manual and to the WARNING decals and labels on the unit. Watch for the SAFETY alert symbols. Keep away from all moving parts and hot engine surfaces. Practice starting, stopping, and operating your Tiller before actual use. DRESS FOR THE JOB Wear substantial footwear with good traction and protective clothing for the job at hand. Don’t wear loose clothing or pants legs or unrestrained long hair which could be drawn into rotating parts. Use SAFETY glasses and a dust mask whenever needed. PREPARE THE AREA BEFOREHAND Always check the area to be tilled before tilling. Pick up toys, tools, rocks, sticks, wires, or any other objects that could be struck by the tines. Also check for and mark obstructions to be avoided such as drain pipes, buried wires or pipes, sprinkler heads, protruding boulders, etc. 3 PREPARE YOUR MACHINE Check for loose or missing parts. Make sure shields, guards, safety switches, and other safety protection devices are in good condition and in place and operate properly. Check for fuel leaks and correct if found. Maintain the proper oil level in the engine to prevent overheating and damage. HANDLE FUEL WITH CARE Gasoline (or Petrol) has become such a common fuel that there is a tendency to forget that it readily forms a highly flammable vapor. Before adding fuel, push machine outdoors or to an area where vapors will not collect. If you do spill fuel, wipe it up and allow time for complete dissipation of fumes before attempting to start. STOP the engine and allow it to cool off before refueling. Store gasoline only in an approved, properly marked gasoline container and keep it safely out of the reach of children. NEVER store or use gasoline in any area of your home, including the basement. DO NOT use it as a cleaning agent! 4 WARN PEOPLE BEFORE STARTING PROJECT Let everyone in the vicinity know that you are going to be tilling and tell them what area to avoid. To be on the safe side, make children stay inside the house and keep pets away while you are tilling. Watch out for children and/or pets darting into the area and be prepared to STOP the Tiller immediately! KEEP AWAY FROM TILLER TINES Never place your hands or feet near any moving part(s) of the Tiller! Keep ever mindful that hands and feet can be severely crushed and even amputated by moving tines, belts, and pulleys. If unit becomes clogged, release wheel and tine control to STOP forward motion and tine rotation, then STOP engine before attempting to unclog tines. As an extra precaution, use a stick or broom handle to clear tines after STOPPING the engine! USE PROPER STARTING PROCEDURES Follow the starting instructions spelled out in the Engine Owner’s and Tiller Operator’s Manuals. Make sure all controls are working. Check to see that the wheel and tine control is in the released position. Move the Tiller outdoors where exhaust fumes will quickly dissipate. Keep hand...
