If the operator or the mechanic cannot read

explain it to them.
ALWAYS train any inexperienced operators
and require them to read and understand all
manuals and decals.
Only allow responsible adults, who are
familiar with the instructions, to operate this
machine.
Only the operator can prevent and is
responsible for accidents or injuries
occurring to themselves, other people or

These operators should evaluate their ability
to operate the riding mower safely enough to
protect themselves and others from serious
injury.
