Safety Rules

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that chil- dren will remain where you last saw them.

Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.

Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.

Before and during reverse operation, look behind and down for small children.

Never carry children. They may fall off and be seri- ously injured or interfere with safe unit operation.

Never allow children to operate the unit.

Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
