OPERATION

3.2 Dismounting the Tractor

Before dismounting the tractor, idle the tractor engine down, disengage the head and retract the boom arm to the transport position. Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in neutral and set the parking brake. Shut down the tractor engine, remove the key, and wait for all motion to come to a complete stop before exiting the operator’s seat. NEVER leave the seat until the tractor, its engine, and mower head movement have come to a complete stop.

Use hand rails and extra steps when exiting the tractor. Be careful of your step and use extra caution when mud, ice, snow, and other matter has accumulated on the steps and handrails. Never rush or jump off the tractor. OPS-B- 0002

BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always set the parking brake and/or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.

4.STARTING THE TRACTOR

The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all tractor controls before starting the tractor. Review the tractor operator’s manual and consult an authorized dealer for tractor operation instructions if needed.

Essential Tractor Controls:

Locate the ignition key/switch

Locate the engine shut off control

Locate the hydraulic control levers

Locate the light control lever

Locate the brake pedals and clutch

Locate the PTO control

Locate the 3 point hitch control lever

Locate the boom operating controls (joystick or valve bank)

Before starting the tractor ensure the following:

Conduct all pre-start operation inspection and service according to the tractor operator’s manual.

Make sure all guards, shields, and other safety devices are securely in place.

The parking brake is on.

The tractor transmission levers are in park or neutral.

The boom operating controls are in the neutral and off position.

The PTO control lever is disengaged.

The hydraulic remote control levers are in the neutral position.

Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for tractor starting procedures. Only start the tractor while seated and belted in the tractor operator’s seat. Never bypass the ignition switch by short circuiting the starter solenoid. After the tractor engine is running, avoid accidental contact with the tractor transmission to prevent sudden and unexpected tractor movement. OPS-B- 0003
