SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
Check Safety Interlock System
Test the safety interlock system at each operation. If the
system does not function properly, do not operate the unit
until repairs are made.
The engine will only start with the PTO disengaged. The shift
lever must be in neutral for engine to start.
Engine must not start unless PTO is disengaged and the
shift lever is in neutral. To test:
1. With engine off, engage PTO.
2. Turn ignition switch to On. Pull recoil start handle.
Engine must not start.
3. Disengage PTO.
The engine MUST stop whenever the operator removes
both hands from controls while the PTO or transmission is
engaged. To test:
1. Start engine and engage PTO.
2. Release operator presence control lever(s). Engine
must stop.
3. Disengage PTO.
4. Restart engine.
5. Place shift lever in Forward.
6. Release operator presence control lever. Engine must
stop.
Operator Presence Control
The operator presence control lever must be pressed to
operate the PTO or traction drive. When the shift lever or
PTO is engaged, releasing the operator presence control
lever stops the engine.
Steering Levers
The steering levers are used to steer, operate in forward and
reverse, and stop the unit. When held against the handlebar,
the brakes are engaged.
Steering Lever Latches
The steering lever latches hold the steering levers in the
neutral position and keep the brakes applied.
Ignition Switch
Operate the ignition switch with the removable
key. The switch uses two positions: Off (1) and
On (2). To start the engine, turn the key to On
(2) and pull the recoil handle. To stop the
engine, turn the key to Off (1).
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever changes the speed of the
engine. Move the throttle lever to Fast (1) to
increase engine speed. Move the lever to Slow
(2) to decrease engine speed.
Choke Control
Use the choke control to start a cold engine. Pull
the control out to choke the engine. Push the
control in when the engine gets warm.
OPERATION
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and
understand the entire Safety section before

operator presence control is functioning
correctly. See Check Safety Interlock System on
page 11 for testing instructions.

running and the shift lever is engaged, releasing
only one steering latch causes the unit to circle
around one drive wheel.
