BEFORE OPERATION
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are generally attracted to
machines and work being done. Never assume children will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the operating area and under the watchful eye of another responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the work area.
3. Before and when backing, look behind for small children.
4. Never carry children while operating the machine. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with the safe
operation of the machine.
5. Never allow children to play on the machine or attachment even when they are turned off.
6. Never allow children to operate the machine even under adult supervision.
7. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other obstructions that might hide children from sight.
