3.2 Dismounting the Tractor

Before dismounting from 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, set the transmission in park or neutral and apply 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 has come to a complete stop.

DANGER! BEFORE leaving the Tractor seat, always engage the 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 while it is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the Tractor seat only.

Use hand rails and steps when exiting the tractor. Always face the toward the tractor when dismounting. 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.
