Figure 3-1:
Use steps, grab-handles, and skid-
resistant surfaces when getting on or off the power machine.
Using unapproved surfaces and handles to mount and
dismount can result in a falling hazard and cause serious
injury or death.
•
It is recommended that under most applications to operate
only power machines equipped with a certified Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep folding
ROPS in the “locked up” position when appropriate. If the
ROPS is in the locked up position, fasten seat belt snugly
and securely to help protect against serious injury or death
from falling and machine overturn.
•
Do not till after dark without sufficient lighting on the skid
steer. The tiller can hit objects and other vehicles can run
into the skid steer and/or tiller causing equipment damage
and serious bodily injury or death.
•
Use Rotary Tiller for its intended purpose only. Do not use
tiller to lift or carry objects; to pull fence posts, stumps, or
other objects; or to tow other equipment. Doing so can
damage the tiller, cause serious bodily injury, or death.
•
Never carry riders on the power machine or attachment.
Riders can obstruct the operator’s view, be struck by foreign
objects, pinched by moving components, thrown by sudden
shifts in movement, entangled in rotating components, and/
or fall causing serious injury or death.
•
Check hitch fit-up frequently to make sure loader hitch is
properly positioned under the attachment’s top angle bar(s),
lock handles are locked down with lock pins fully seated in
their notches, and attachment is in good operating
condition. An improperly attached unit can fall and be
thrown toward bystanders and/or operator.

2. Park on solid, level ground and lower attachment until
it is flat on the ground or on support blocks.
3. Turn off engine, and remove switch key to prevent
unauthorized starting.
