If the operator or the mechanic cannot read
the manual, it is the owner’s responsibility to
explain it to them.
Always train any inexperienced operators
and require them to read and understand all
manuals and decals.
Only allow responsible adults, who are
familiar with the instructions, to operate this
machine.
Only the user can prevent and is responsible
for accidents or injuries occurring to
themselves, other people or property.
Operator Age
Do not allow children under the age of 18 to
operate any outdoor power equipment.
Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
Data indicates operators age 60 years and
above are involved in a large percentage of
riding mower-related injuries.
These operators should evaluate their ability
to operate the riding mower safely enough to
protect themselves and others
from serious injury.
Children
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.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters
the area.
Before and while backing, look behind and
down for small children.
