YOUR CHILDREN’S SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT to Honda. That’s 
why we urge you to read this message before letting your child operate 
this lawn mower. Lawn mowers are tools, not toys. As with any 
equipment, bad judgments can result in serious injuries. You can help 
prevent accidents by making good decisions about if, when, and how 
your child operates this equipment.

The first question you’ll need to ask is whether your child is capable of 
operating this mower safely. Remember, young people vary widely, 
and AGE IS NOT THE ONLY FACTOR.

Physically, a child must be LARGE ENOUGH AND STRONG 
ENOUGH to easily start the mower and control its direction. The child 
also needs enough size, strength, and coordination to comfortably 
reach and operate the controls.

Another, tougher question you need to ask is if your child has enough 
MATURITY AND RESPONSIBILITY to safely operate this mower. 
Does the young person think through problems and come to logical 
solutions? Be honest! Anyone who takes unnecessary risks and 
doesn’t obey rules should not operate this lawn mower.

If you decide that your son or daughter can handle the mower safely, 
CAREFULLY READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL with your child. Make 
sure you both understand all instructions and safety information. Also, 
be sure your child wears sturdy shoes and other protective clothing 
when operating or handling the mower.

SUPERVISION is also very important. Walk with your child during the 
first few minutes of mowing. Even after the child has become confident 
with the mower, do not let the young person use the mower without 
good adult supervision. An adult should also be present during 
refueling and maintenance. In fact, it’s up to parents to make sure that 
the mower is properly maintained and kept in safe operating condition.

By always placing safety first, your child will acquire useful skills and a 
sense of accomplishment. And you’ll both get the best results from 
your lawn mower.
