Protection for Children

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

1.KEEP children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

2.DO NOT allow children in yard when machine is operated and turn machine OFF if anyone enters the area.

3.DO NOT allow pre-teenage children to operate machine.

4.ALLOW only responsible adults & teenagers with mature judgment under close adult supervision to operate machine.

5.DO NOT pull mower backwards unless absolutely necessary. LOOK and SEE behind and down for children, pets and hazards before and while backing.

6.USE EXTRA CARE when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Slope Operation

1.Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall acci- dents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, DO NOT mow it.

2.Mow across slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise extreme CAUTION when changing directions on slopes. DO NOT mow steep slopes or other areas where stability or traction is in doubt. Refer to the Slope Guide at the end of this manual.

3.Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments; these affect the handling and the stability of the machine.

Preparation

1.Read, understand, and follow instructions and warnings in this manual and on the mower, engine and attachments. Know the controls and the proper use of the mower before starting.

2.Only mature, responsible persons shall operate the machine and only after proper instruction.

3.Data indicates that operators age 60 and above, are involved in a large percentage of mower-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.
