Protecting Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are
frequently attracted to the machine and the
mowing activity. Do not think that children will
stay 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 the
machine off if a child
enters the area.
• Use precautions near blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that can block your view
of a child.
