SAFETY
CHILDREN:
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is
not alert to the presence of children.
Children are attracted to lawn mowers
and the mowing activity.
NEVER assume children will stay
where they were last seen.
Be alert to avoid accidents.
•
Keep children out of the mowing area and
under the watchful care of another responsible
adult.
•
Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters
the area.
•
Before and during backing, look BEHIND and
DOWN for small children.
•
Never carry children. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with safe mower
operation.
•
Never allow children to operate the mower.
•
Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that
may obscure vision.
