4.2 Dismounting the Skid Steer

Before dismounting, park the skid steer and mower on a reasonably level surface, apply the parking brake, idle the engine down, disengage the auxiliary hydraulics, and lower the mower to the ground. Shut down the skid steer engine according to the operator’s manual, remove the key, and wait for all motion to completely stop. Never leave the seat until the skid steer, its engine and all moving mower parts are completely stopped. OPS-SS- 0003

BEFORE leaving the Power Unit seat, always engage the brake and set the Power Unit transmission in parking gear, disengage the auxiliary hydraulics, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the Power Unit shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a Power Unit that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Power Unit controls from the operator seat only. (SPU-15)

Use hand rails and steps when exiting the skid steer. Be careful of your step and use extra caution when mud, ice, snow or other matter has accumulated on the steps or hand rails. Use all handrails and steps for support and never rush or jump off the skid steer.
