Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of all Lastec products. Unfortunately, our extensive efforts to provide
safe equipment can be negated by a single careless act of an operator. In addition to the design of the mower, accident preven
-
tion is dependent upon the awareness and proper training of all personnel involved in the operation, transportation, mainte
-
nance, and storage of the mower.
The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.
We ask you to be that kind of operator.
