SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW (continued) Only operate outdoors and avoid breathing engine exhaust and fumes. WARNING: Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas that is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and death. Adequate lighting is required, daylight or artificial, for safe operation of the tiller. Allow adequate side and overhead clearances between tiller and buildings, fences, and trees. WARNING: Contact with the tines while in operation will cause serious injury or even death.
PAGE 17
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW (continued) Avoid contact with hydraulic fluid. WARNING: When machine is operating, hydraulic fluid is under extreme pressure and can get under skin and burn or poison. Keep others away. If the job site is near a road or pedestrian path, warn and divert both motorized traffic and pedestrians. As appropriate, use traffic flag personnel, signs, cones, and lighting devices to insure safety. Never allow anybody to ride on the tiller.
PAGE 18
WORK SITE ASSESSMENT Examine the work area for any conditions or obstructions that may inhibit tilling or create a safety hazard for the operator or others. Use the information in this manual combined with good judgment to identify any hazards to avoid. In addition to calling to DETERMINE LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES (see previous section for details), the operator and/or job foreman should visually inspect the work site.
PAGE 19
CONTACT WITH UNDERGROUND UTILITIES After LOCATING UNDERGROUND UTILITIES and performing the WORK SITE ASSESSMENT, accidental tine contact with a buried utility might still occur. If it does, stop tilling and call 911 for help. If you cut a wire or cable, assume that you do not know what kind it is. It may be electrical or any one of several communication lines: telephone, television, or fiber optic. In any case, do not touch it or even look at the ends of it. Stop tilling and call 911 for help.
