ing information.

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert
to the presence of children. Children are often
attracted to the unit and the mowing activity. Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw
them.
•
Keep children out of the mowing area and under
the watchful care of another responsible adult.
•
Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
•
Before and during reverse operation, look behind
and down for small children.
•
Never carry children. They may fall off and be seri-
ously injured or interfere with safe unit operation.
•
Never allow children to operate the unit.
•
Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
vision.
WARNING
Make certain the area of
operation, and especially
the direction of travel is
clear of objects, people
and animals.
Always look DOWN AND
BEHIND before backing!
