POTENTIAL HAZARD
A child or bystander could be backed over
by a riding mower with its blade(s)
engaged.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Blade contact will cause serious personal
injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary.
Always look backward and down before
backing up.
Use "Key Choice" switch only if you are
certain no children or other bystanders will
appear in the mowing area.
Always remove both the ignition and "Key
Choice" keys and put them in a safe place
out of the reach of children or unauthorized
users when leaving the unit unattended.
