The step is kept horizontal at all times by the angle sensor, automatic level control
box and electric cylinder. The "step control changeover switch" atop the electrical
equipment box permits switching from AUTO to MANUAL, and vice versa. When
the step control changeover switch is in the "MANUAL" position, the "step control
manual switch" on the control panel permits control.

Impact to the step will impose a burden on the supporting point, causing failure.
Exercise care so as not to strike the step against any object when moving the
machine backward or turning the machine.
However, be sure to set the step control changeover switch in the "AUTO" position
during mowing. Use the manual position only when maintaining the machine,
the automatic control circuit fails, or some other emergency arises. When the
automatic circuit fails, replace the part with a new one immediately. Do not operate
the machine for mowing on the manual control step.
In the case of traveling or operating the machine without riding on the step, the
operator cannot keep the proper distance to the control devices and the operations
become unstable. Be sure to stand on the step for starting the machine.
Prohibition of traveling and/or operating the machine with the step
in the stored position.
The steel mesh is used on the standing surface of the step for antiskid purpose. Do
not touch the mesh directly for avoiding injury.

Lift up the step ( ). Hold the pipe at the bottom of the step, when lifting. Keep
lifting the step and raise the hook for fixing step ( ) and lean it to the rear direction
of the machine ( ).
Make sure the hook for fixing step and the hook of the step clutch each other
securely.
Apply the reverse procedure to the above mentioned ( → → ). Avoid the step
falling down due to its own weight and make sure to hold it. Fix the hook for fixing
step with the magnet catch.
