MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
THE TRACTOR - WITH MOWER
DECK
Always mount and dismount the mower from the
left side, with the brake on, the PTO disengaged
(down), the engine off, and the steering levers in
their swung out (neutral lock) position. Mount
the mower by stepping from the ground to the left
side of the deck with your left foot, then step over
the deck frame to the footrest with your right
foot. Anti-skid material is provided on the top of
the deck and footrest. Always keep these sur-
faces clean and dry. Replace anti-skid material
when necessary. Wait for all moving parts to
stop before dismounting. Dismount the mower
by standing up on the footrest, then turn to the left
and step from the footrest, over the deck frame,
to the left side of the deck with your right foot,
and then step to the ground with your left foot.
The left steering lever can be used to stabilize
your movement; however, it is not strong enough
to support all your weight. Never leave the
mower unattended with the key in the ignition.
