3. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR
Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the mower and tractor operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation.
WARNING!
Do Not mount or dismount the Tractor while the Tractor is moving. The Tractor engine must be turned off, the Tractor transmission in park or neutral with the parking brake set, and all moving Tractor and Implement parts at a complete stop before boarding or exiting the Tractor.
3.1 Boarding the Tractor
Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when getting on the tractor. Never use tractor control levers for support when mounting the tractor. Always seat yourself in the operator’s seat and fasten the seatbelt. Only operate the tractor and mower with the ROPS in the raised position.
Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor and mower. Additional riders can easily fall off and be seriously injured or killed from being ran over by both the tractor and mower. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid additional riders.
DANGER! Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
DANGER!
Never allow children to operate or ride on the Tractor or Implement.
3.2 Dismounting the Tractor
Before dismounting, park the tractor and mower on level ground, apply the parking brake, idle the engine down, disengage the PTO, and lower the mower 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 mower parts are completely stopped.
