WARNING

14

CHILDREN:

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not

alert  to the presence of children.

Children are attracted to lawn mowers and the

mowing activity.

NEVER  assume children will stay where they

were last seen.

Be alert to avoid accidents.

Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.

Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.

Before and during backing look BEHIND and DOWN
for small children.

Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe mower operation.

Never allow children to operate the mower.

Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Failure to observe the following safety instructions

could result in serious injury or death.
