wet conditions or operate in the rain.
• Never allow adults to operate the
product without proper instruction.
• Keep the area clear of all bystanders,
children, and pets while mowing. Stop
machine if anyone enters the area.
• 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

area and under the watchful care of
a responsible adult other than the
operator.
