stopped.
(SG-12)
4.2 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
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 that is moving or while the engine
is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.
