• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting
your foot on the ground.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. The machine could suddenly
roll over if a wheel is over the edge or if the
edge caves in.
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.
