2.Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.
3.Before and while backing, look behind and down
for small children.

|
| off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or | |
| interfere with safe machine operation. Children | Keep children away from work area |

|
| ride and be run over or backed over by the |
|
| machine. |
