3. STARTING THE TRACTOR

The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all tractor
controls before starting the tractor. Review the tractor’s operator’s manual and consult an authorized dealer for
operating instructions if needed.
Essential Tractor Controls:

Locate the ignition switch 

Locate the engine shut off control

Locate the engine throttle control 

Locate the brake pedals and the clutch 

Locate the parking brake

Locate the PTO control

Locate the 3-point hitch control lever

Locate the hydraulic control lever

Locate the light control switch

Before starting the tractor ensure the following:

Conduct all pre-start operation inspection and service according to the skid steer operator’s manual. 

Make sure all guards, shields, and other safety devices are securely in place.

The parking brake is on.

The PTO control lever is disengaged.

The hydraulic remote control valve levers are in the neutral or float position.

The tractor transmission gear is in park or neutral.

Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for tractor starting procedures. Only start the tractor while seated and
belted in the tractor operator’s seat. Never bypass the ignition switch by short circuitting the starter solenoid.

CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR
Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the tractor. The mower should be securely resting at
ground level or on blocks. Place a block in front of and behind the tires to prevent the mower from moving.
Keep hands and feet out from under the mower and clear of pinch points between the tractor and

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.

  (SG-9)

Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation.  The
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. 

 (SG-23)

Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat.  Starting a
tractor in gear can result in injury or death.  Read the Tractor operators
manual for proper starting instructions.  

(SG-13)
