Data indicatesthat tragic back-over accidentsoccur each
year.Theseaccidents usually involve unsupervised children.
Many times these children havebeen given rides on the
machine and havebeentrained to view this potentially dan-
gerous pieceof machinery asfun rather than being taught
how to avoid danger.
This riding mower hasa ReverseLockout Mechanism.This
mechanism preventsthe mower from being shifted into
reversewith the blade running. To shift into reverseyou
must first stop the blade by releasingthe bladepedalsand
then shift to reverse.It is our recommendationthat this
mechanism remainfunctional and the operator of this equip-
ment developthe habit of neverbacking up with the blade
running. Asthe SafetyInstructions Indicate, DONOToper-
