WARNING!
CHILDREN CAN BE INJURED BY
THIS EQUIPMENT. The American
Academy of Pediatrics recommends
that children be a minimum of 16
years of age before operating a riding
lawn mower. Keep children out of the
mowing area and in the watchful care
of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
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.
