Tiller Safety Tips

Tillers are powerful earth-churning machines. They break up, mulch, and aerate soil with deep-cutting blades that extend deep into the ground.

Don’t make a machine work harder than it was designed.
Clear the land of debris and plants before loosening the soil with your tiller.
Gas-powered tillers require engine service, which includes changing the oil
Clean or replace air filters after every 25 hours of work.
Check the transmission fluid level, as defined in the service manual.
All modern tillers have a clutch that must be grasped to set the tines in motion. When released, the tiller stops turning.
