OPERATION

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.

Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

4.2 Dismounting the Tractor

Before dismounting, park the tractor and implement on a reasonably level surface, apply the parking brake, idle the engine down, disengage the PTO, and lower the implement to the ground. Shut down the tractor engine according to the operator’s manual, remove the key, and wait for all motion to completely stop. Never leave the seat until the tractor, its engine and all moving parts have come to a complete stop.

Use hand rails and steps when exiting the tractor. 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 tractor. OPS-U- 0009

5. 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 light control lever.

•Locate the engine shut off control.

•Locate the brake pedals and the clutch.

•Locate the PTO control.

•Locate the 3-point hitch control lever.

•Locate the hydraulic remote control levers. 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 PTO control lever is disengaged.

•The 3-point hitch control lever is in the lowered position.

•The hydraulic remote control levers are in the neutral position.

•The tractor transmission levers are in park or neutral.

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-U-0028

Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.
