2.25 WARN BYSTANDERS BEFORE STARTING:
Before starting, Walk all around the tractor and any attached equipment. Make sure that no one
is under it, on it, or close to it. Let other workers and bystanders know you are starting up and
don't start until everyone is clear of the tractor, implements and towed equipment.
ENSURE THAT ALL BYSTANDERS, PARTICULARLY CHILDREN ARE IN A SAFE POSITION
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
2.26 MOUNT AND DISMOUNT PROPERLY
Always use 'three-point contact' with the machine and face the machine when you mount it.
Three-point contact means both hands and one foot or one hand and both feet are always in
contact with the machine during mounting and dismounting.
Clean the soles of your shoes and wipe your hands before climbing on. Use handrails, grip
handrails, ladders or steps (as provided) when mounting or dismounting.
NEVER use control levers as a hand hold and NEVER step on foot controls when mounting or
dismounting.
NEVER attempt to mount or dismount from a moving tractor. NEVER jump off a tractor in any
circumstances.
2.27 START SAFELY
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE, MAKE SURE THERE IS
PLENTY OF VENTILATION. NEVER OPERATE THE
ENGINE IN A CLOSED BUILDING. THE EXHAUST
FUMES MAY CAUSE ASPHYXIATION.
Always start the engine from the operator's seat with all the
transmission levers and PTO lever in neutral.
Make sure that the tractor dual brake pedals are always locked
together unless you are making turns in the field which require
independent use of the brakes. Make sure the brakes are
properly adjusted so that both brakes engage at the same time.
Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt (where applicable as outlined
in this manual), apply the parking brake and put all controls in
neutral before starting up.
START THE ENGINE, WITH THE STARTER KEY, FROM
THE OPERATOR'S SEAT ONLY. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
START THE ENGINE BY SHORTING ACROSS THE
STARTER TERMINALS. THE MACHINE WILL START IN
GEAR IF THE NEUTRAL START CIRCUIT BYPASSED. THIS
COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
ANYONE NEAR THE TRACTOR.
