capable to operate the machine.

devices in place and functioning properly. Check frequently for signs of wear or deterioration and
replace as needed.

footwear.
III. OPERATING
1. Only operate the engine in well ventilated areas. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a
deadly poison.
2. Only operate the machine in daylight or good artificial light.
3. Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Uneven terrain could overturn the
machine, or cause operator to lose their balance or footing.
4. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
5. Do not direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade(s) when crossing
gravel surfaces.
6. Do not leave a running machine unattended. Always park on level ground, disengage the
attachment, set parking brake, and stop engine.
7. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and
while backing.
IV. CHILDREN SPECIFIC
1. 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.
2. Keep children out of the operating area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other
than the operator.
