Children and Pets
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert
to the presence of children or pets. Children are
often attracted to the machine and the mowing
activity. Never assume that children and pets will
remain where you last saw them.
• Be alert and turn mower off if a child or pet enters
the area.
• Keep children and pets out of the mowing area
and under the watchful care of a responsible adult
other than the operator.
• 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 or pet.
• Be especially watchful of children and pets
dart-ing into the area while operating.
