Question Hover exit & entry

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to safely perform hover exits and entries? The helicopter used will be an R44.

An exerpt from a company procedures manual would be great too.

So far all I have is;
-Slowly shift body weight
-Do not push off of, or jump onto skid
-Secure seat belt after undoing it
-Stay low when under rotor disk

I feel iffy about performing the maneuver without some more information.

Thank you,
