Getting On And Off The Tractor; Boarding The Tractor; Dismounting The Tractor - Bush Hog EWR Operator's Manual

4. 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- 0007str
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.
Dismounting a moving power unit can result in a crushing hazard that can
cause death or serious injury.

4.1 Boarding the Tractor

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- 0008str
Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or
Implement.
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.
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in death or serious injury.

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.
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat lower the implement, set the parking
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 that is moving or while the
engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.
