children, and pets, at least 75 feet from the machine while it is operational. Stop
mower if anybody enters the area.
16. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all
stones, sticks, wire, bones, toys, and other foreign objects which could be picked
up and thrown by the blade(s). Thrown objects can cause serious personal
injury.
17. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material towards roads,
sidewalks, bystanders, and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against a
wall or obstruction which may cause discharge material to ricochet back
towards the operator.

operation and while performing an adjustment or repair. Thrown objects which
ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.
19. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting slacks and shirts. Loose
