SAFETY
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.
