3. 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.
✔
Keep children and spectators out of the
mowing area. When the equipment is
being used, all people, specially children,
shall remain at a safe distance from the
working area.
✔
Before and when backing, look behind
and down for small children.
✔
Never allow children to operate the
machine.
✔
Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure vision.
✔
Never carry children, even if the blades
are disengaged. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with safe
machine operation. Children who have
been carried before may suddenly arrive
at the cutting area to ask for another ride,
and may be run over.
4. Usage and care
✔
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary. Always look down and behind
before and while backing.

Never unload mown material against
other people. Avoid unloading the
material against walls or buildings as it
may bounce back to the operator.
Slow down before turning.
Never leave a running machine
unattended. Always turn off blades, set
parking brake, stop engine, and remove
keys before dismounting.
Turn off blades when not mowing. Stop
engine and wait until all movable parts
stop entirely before cleaning the machine,
removing grass catcher or unclogging
chute.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial
light.
Watch for traffic when operating near or
crossing roadways.
Follow manufacturer's recommendations
for wheel weights or counterweights to
improve stability.
Keep machine free of grass, leaves or
other debris build-up which can touch
hot exhaust/engine parts and burn.
Clean any oil or fuel spillage before
operating or storing the machine.
Allow machine to cool before storage.
Turn off the blades when driving on
surfaces with gravel or other obstacles.
Do not operate the machine without the
grass catcher, the exhaust protection, and
the other safety devices.
Use extra care when loading or unloading
the tractor into a trailer or truck.
