OPERATION

3.GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR

Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor

operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for

a complete explanation. OPS-U- 0007

Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount

the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely

stopped. (SG-12)

Never operate the Tractor and Mower Unit without an OPS (Operators

Protective Structure) or Cab to prevent injury from objects thrown from

ground or from overhead trimming. Stop mowing if workers or passersby

are within 300 feet. (SBM-9)

Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when boarding the tractor. Never use control

levers for support when mounting the tractor. Seat yourself in the operator’s seat and secure the seat belt

around you.

Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or attached equipment. Riders can easily fall off and be

seriously injured or killed from falling off and being ran over. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid all extra

riders at all times. OPS-U- 0008

Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or

Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and

responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they

have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in

proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large

enough to reach and operate the controls easily. (SG-11)

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
