SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Pay particular care to the sections marked as follows:

DANGER: This indicates a strong likelihood of serious or even fatal injury if the instruction are not follow.

WARNING: This indicates a risk of injury or damage to the equipment if the instructions are not followed.

NOTE: This indicates useful information.

This symbol reminds you to take care with certain operations.

If you have any problems or questions about the tiller, please contact Husqvarna dealer.

DANGER: The machine is designed for safe and reliable service if used as instructed. Before using your machine, please make sure you have understood the contents of this manual. Otherwise you could be injured and your equipment could be damaged.

Training / Information

Familiarise yourself with the correct use and the controls before using the machine. Know how to stop the engine rapidly.

The machine must always be used according to the recommendations given in the operator manual.

Remember that the user is responsible for any accidents or dangerous actions occurring to other people or their belongings. It is users responsibility to assess the potential risks of the ground to be cleared and take all precautions necessary to ensure it is safe, in particular on slopes and on loose, slippery on uneven ground.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the machine. There may be local laws which set a minimum age for users.

Never work when there are people, especially children, or animals within a radius of 20 meters of the machine; the operator must necessarily remain at the controls of the handles.

Do not use the machine if you have been taking medicine or other substances that might slow your reactions or make you drowsy.

Pay particular attention on hard ground, because the machine has the tendency to be much less stable than on cultivated ground.

Always wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and tight long trousers when working. Do not use the machine in bare feet or sandals. Ear protectors are recommended.

Use the machine for the purpose it is designed for tilling the ground.

Preparation

Carefully inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove any objects that might be projected by the machine (stones, wire, glass, metal objects ...).

Before use, always inspect the machine to ensure that the tools are not worn or damaged, replace any worn or damages parts.

Maintain the electrical cables that stop the engine in good condition so that you can be sure to turn the engine off.

Check that no diesel or oil are leaking.

Do not use the machine without covers and guards and ensure that all the fittings are tight.

Use

Never transport people on the machine.

Take care when starting the engine, following the manufacturer's instructions and keeping your feet away from the blade(s).

Stop the engine when the machine is not in use.

When holding the machine, walk don't run.

Pay close attention when pulling the machine towards you or reversing the direction of rotation (if liked).

Keep a safe distance from the rotating blades, set by length of the steering column.

Do not place you hands or feet near or beneath rotating parts.

The engine and the exhaust system become very hot during operating. Risk of burn injuries if touched.

If there is:

-abnormal vibration,

-a blockage,

-a problem engaging or disengaging the clutch,

-a collision with a foreign object,

-deterioration of the engine halt cable

Stop the engine immediately (if the engine halt cable is severed. Use the starter control as described in paragraph "start the engine" to stop the engine), let the machine cool down, unplug the spark-plug lead, inspect the machine and have the necessary repairs carried out by a Husqvarna workshop before using again.

Work only by daylight or in good artificial light.

Do not use the machine on slopes greater than 20^irc .

Work across the slopes, not up or down them.

Make sure to keep your feet on slopping ground, change direction very carefully.

Using accessories other than those recommended may make the machine dangerous and cause damage to your machine which will not be covered by your guarantee.

Maintenance / storage

Stop the engine before cleaning, inspecting, adjusting of maintaining the machine or changing the tool(s).

Stop the engine and use thick gloves when changing the tool(s).

Keep all nuts and bolts tight to ensure safe conditions of use.

To reduce fire risk, keep the engine, the silencer and the fuel storage area free of plants, waste oil, or any other inflammable material.

If the exhaust silencer is faulty, have it replaced, by a Husqvarna workshop.

Do not mend parts; replace them by the maker's own spares.

Replace the blades in complete sets to keep them balanced rotating.

For your own safety, do not alter the characteristic of your machine. Do not change the engine speed settings and do not run the engine at excess speeds. Regular maintenance is essential for safety and to maintain the level of performance.

Allow the engine to cool down before putting the machine away.

Danger! Diesel is highly inflammable!

Store fuel in containers specially designed for it. Always fill the tank outdoors and do not smoke while doing it.

Do not unscrew the fuel cap or top up with diesel while the engine is running or still hot.

If diesel is split on the ground do not try to start the engine; Carry the machine elsewhere and avoid all naked flames.

Store the machine in a dry place. Never store the machine in a building where the machine can reach a flame, spark or source of intense heat.

Replace th ecaps of the fuel tank and the diesel can correctly.

Limit the amount of diesel in the tank to reduce spillage.

Do not run the engine in a confined space where carbon monoxide vapour might accumulate.

Carbon monoexide can be fatal. Ensure good ventilation.

Moving, handling, transporting

Any action on the machine apart from ground digging must be performed with the engine stopped.

Except when (ground digging) the machine must be moved by using the transport wheel as described in "Moving" chapter.

Handling: do not try and lift the machine. The machine's weight is indicated on the type plate at the mid of this manual. Use a method of handling adapted to the weight of the machine and to the situation to guarantee the safety.

When loading or unloading the machine to or from a trailer, use a suitable ramp. Lash the machine down correctly for safe transport.
