TION
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
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.

•
Locate the engine shut off control.
•
Locate the brake pedals and the clutch.
•

Before starting the tractor ensure the following:
•
Conduct all pre-start operation inspection and service according to the tractor operator’s manual.
•
Make sure all guards, shields, and other safety devices are securely in place.

•
The PTO control lever is disengaged.
•
