2.69 Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel
and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken
or deform the wheel.
2.70 Park machine on level ground. Never allow untrained personnel to service machine. Understand service procedure before
doing work.
SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
Your Bad Boy mower is equipped with a safety interlock system. This system is designed to prevent serious injury or death to the
operator and other people or property damage. The system consists of an operator presence switch in the seat, the parking brake,
drive lever neutral position, the mower blade engagement switch, and the ignition switch.
These interlocks are vitally important and must be tested frequently. Following are instructions to test these very important safety
precautions.
Note: the operator must be standing on the operator’s platform during these tests and the engine
should have been previously allowed to warm to operating temperature.
2.71 On a level surface disengage the parking brake and attempt to start the machine (the blade actuator should be in the OFF
position); the engine should not start.
2.72 Engage parking brake and put blade actuator in its ON position, then attempt to start the machine; the engine should not start.
2.73 Next, start the engine as stated in the ‘Mower Operation Section’, disengage parking brake, and allow the right lever arm to
return to its outward position; the engine should stop.
If any of these tests fail to produce the results indicated and the problem cannot be identified, contact your Bad Boy Mower
dealer or the support contacts in the rear of this manual.
