BEFORE OPERATION
Children and Bystanders
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are
generally attracted to machines and the work
being done. Never assume children will remain
where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the operating area and
under the watchful eye of another
responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn machine off if children
enter the work area.
3. Before and when backing, look behind and
look for small children.
4. Never carry children while operating the
machine. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe operation of the
machine.
5. Never allow children to play on the machine
or attachment even when turned off.
6. Never allow children to operate the machine
even under adult supervision.
7. Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other obstructions
that might hide children from sight.
