tion may result in injury.

Allowing passengers to ride on the mower or any of its attachments
may cause the mower to tip over.

ing your risk of injury.

influence of alcohol or drugs may result in serious injury.

power equipment is being used nearby. Young children move quickly
and are attracted to the mower and the mowing activity especially if
they have been given rides before.

Never assume children will remain where you last saw them. Be alert
and turn the mower off if children enter the area. Use extra care when
approaching corners, shrubs, and trees that might shield children from
sight.
