These are just a few examples of situations when caution
must be used when operating on a slope. There are
many other possibilities too numerous to mention. Just
remember to always exercise extreme caution when operating
on any slope.
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.
Never leave machine unattended with key in switch, especially with children present.
Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended.
Always disengage deck blade switch & turn key to OFF position and
remove key. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of
a responsible adult other than the operator. Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the area. Before and
while backing, look behind and down for small children.
Never carry children, even with the blades 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 care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, the end of a fence or
other objects that may obscure vision. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
Safety start interlock system

consisting of the park brake switches, seat switch, and deck
blade switch.
