Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when getting on the tractor. Never use tractor
control levers for support when mounting the tractor. Always seat yourself in the operator’s seat and fasten the
seatbelt. Only operate the tractor and cutter with the ROPS in the raised position.
Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or cutter. Additional riders can easily fall off and be seriously injured
or killed from being ran over by both the tractor and cutter. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid additional
riders.

Use hand rails and steps when exiting the tractor. 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 tractor.
Before dismounting, park the tractor and cutter on level ground, apply the parking brake, idle the engine down,
disengage the PTO, and lower the cutter to the ground. Shut down the tractor engine according to the tractor
operator’s manual, remove the key, and wait for all motion to completely stop. Never leave the seat until the
tractor, its engine and all moving cutter parts are completely stopped.

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.
