•
Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be
on guard for children in the vicinity of the
machine. Children are often attracted to the
machine and mowing work. Never assume
that children will stay put where you last saw
them.
•
Keep children away from the mowing area
and under close supervision by another
adult.
•
Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if
children enter the work area.
•
Before and during a reversing maneuver,
look backward and downward for small
children.
•
Never allow a child to ride with you. They can
fall off and injure themselves seriously or
prevent risk-free maneuvering of the
machine.
•
Never allow children to operate the machine.
•
Be particularly cautious near corners,
bushes, trees, or other objects that block
your view.
