Children
Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on
your guard for children in the vicinity of the
machine. Children are often attracted to the
machine and mowing.
• Never assume that children will remain where
you last saw them.
• Keep children away from the area to be mowed
and under close supervision by another adult.
• Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if
children enter the work area.
• Before and during reversing procedures, look
behind you and down for small children.
• Never allow children to ride along. They can fall
off and seriously injure themselves or be in the
way for safe manoeuvring of the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Be particularly careful near corners, bushes,
trees or other objects that block your view.
