Checking the Safety Interlock Circuits
Periodically check the safety interlock circuits to ensure they
are working properly. If a safety circuit is not working as
designed, contact you dealer to have the tractor inspected. DO
NOT operate the tractor if any safety circuit is not functioning
properly. To check the safety circuits, proceed as follows:
1.
Pull the PTO switch upward to the engaged position.
Momentarily turn the ignition switch to the start position;
the engine should not crank.
2.
Move both control levers fully inward in the neutral
position; then lift upward from the operator’s seat. The
engine should stop.
3.
With both control levers fully outward in the neutral/
parking brake engaged position, engage the PTO. Lift
upward from the operator’s seat; the engine should stop.
4.
Start the tractor and move the control levers inward to the
neutral operating position. Engage the PTO and move both
control lever slowly into the slow reverse position; the PTO
should disengage and the mower deck should stop.
