SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Use extra care while operating machine
with grass catchers or other attachments;
they can affect the stability of the
machine. Do not use on steep slopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by
putting your foot on the ground.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. The machine could
suddenly roll over if a wheel is over the
edge or if the edge caves in.
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.
• Keep children out of the mowing area
and in the watchful care of a responsible
adult other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child
enters the area.
• Before and while backing, look behind
and down for small children.
• Never carry children, even with the
blades shut off. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with safe
machine operation. Children who have
been given rides in the past may
suddenly appear in the mowing area for
another ride and be run over or backed
over by the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the
machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may block your view of a child.
