Getting On And Off The Tractor; Boarding The Tractor; Dismounting The Tractor - Alamo FC-0001 Operator's Manual

2.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.

2.1 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- 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.
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
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.

2.2 Dismounting the Tractor

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, 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 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
