2.22 SAFETY: STARTING
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. 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 in contact with the machine at
all times during mounting and dismounting.
