Complete a walk-around inspection of the unit and work
area.
Before starting engine: disengage PTO and set parking

key, engage parking brake and allow moving parts to stop
before leaving operator's position.
ALWAYS remove key to prevent unauthorized use.
Check for weak spots on dock, ramps or floors. Avoid
