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.
WARNING!
Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the
Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely
stopped.
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 implement with the ROPS in the raised position.
Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or implement. Riders can easily fall off and be seriously injured or
killed from being ran over by both the tractor and implement. It is the operator's responsibility to forbid riders.
DANGER!
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

3.2 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 implement parts are completely stopped.
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. 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.
