Site Preparation and Safety

➢Thoroughly inspect the area where the cultivator is to be used and remove all foreign objects. Your equipment can propel

small objects at high-speed causing personal injury or property damage. Stay away from breakable objects, such as house

windows, auto glass, greenhouses, etc.

➢Keep area of operation clear of all bystanders, particularly small children and pets.

➢Always wear work gloves and sturdy footwear such as leather work shoes or short boots. These will protect ankles and

shins from small sticks, splinters, and other flying debris, and improve traction.

➢Disengage clutch lever and stop engine before leaving the cultivator in operating position. Wait until the tines come to a

complete stop before removing debris or making any adjustments to the cultivator.
