4. GETTING ON AND OFF THE SKID STEER
Before getting onto the skid steer, the operator must read and completely understand the mower and skid steer
operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a
complete explanation.
4.1 Boarding the Skid Steer
Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when getting on the skid steer. Never use
control levers for support when mounting. Always seat yourself in the operator’s seat and fasten the seatbelt.
Never allow passengers to ride on the skid steer or mower. Riders can easily fall off and be seriously injured or
killed from being ran over. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid additional riders.
4.2 Dismounting the Skid Steer
Before dismounting, park the skid steer and mower on a reasonably level surface, apply the parking brake, idle
the engine down, disengage the auxiliary hydraulics, and lower the mower to the ground. Shut down the skid
steer engine according to the operator’s manual, remove the key, and wait for all motion to completely stop.
Never leave the seat until the skid steer, its engine and all moving mower parts are completely stopped.
