4.2 Dismounting the Power Unit
Before dismounting, park the power unit 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
power unit engine according to the operator’s manual, remove the key, and wait for all motion to completely
stop. Never leave the seat until the power unit, its engine and all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
Use hand rails and steps when exiting the power unit. 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 power unit.

5. STARTING THE POWER UNIT
The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all
power unit controls before starting the power unit. Review the power unit operator’s manual and consult an
authorized dealer for power operation instructions if needed.
Essential Power Unit Controls:
•
Locate the light control lever
•
Locate the engine shut off control
•
Locate the brake pedals and clutch
•
Locate the hydraulic remote control levers
Before starting the power unit ensure the following:
•
Conduct all pre-start operation inspection and service according to the power unit operator’s manual.
•
Make sure all guards, shields, and other safety devices are securely in place.
•
The parking brake is on.
•
The hydraulic remote control levers are in the neutral position.
•
The power unit transmission levers are in park or neutral.
Refer to the power unit owner’s manual for power unit starting procedures. Only start the power unit while
seated and belted in the operator’s seat. Never bypass the ignition switch by short circuiting the starter
solenoid. After the power unit engine is running, avoid accidental contact with the power unit transmission to
prevent sudden and unexpected power unit movement.
OPS-UPI-0009
Never run the Power Unit engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.
(SPU-23)
Start the Power Unit only when properly seated in the Power Unit seat. Starting
a Power Unit in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Power Unit
Operator’s Manual for proper starting instructions.
