Read the Operator’s Manual and other

owner’s responsibility to explain this material
to them.
All operators and mechanics should be
trained. The owner is responsible for training
the users.
Never let children or untrained people
operate or service the equipment. Local
regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
The owner/user can prevent and is
responsible for accidents or injuries
occurring to themselves, other people or
property.
Operator Age
Do not allow children under the age of 18 to
operate or service any outdoor power
equipment.
Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
Data indicates operators age 60 years and
above are involved in a large percentage of
riding mower-related injuries.
These operators should evaluate their ability
to operate the riding mower safely enough to
protect themselves and others
from serious injury.
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.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters
the area.
Before and while backing, look behind and
down for small children.
