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.   
1.   Keep children out of the mowing area and 

under the watchful care of a responsible 
adult other than the operator.   

2.   Be alert and turn mower off if a child 

enters the area.

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects 
that may block your view of a child.
