Operation

The Safety Interlock System

WARNING

If safety-interlock switches are disconnected
or damaged, the machine could operate
unexpectedly causing personal injury.

•

Do not tamper with the interlock switches.

•

Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily, and replace any damaged switches
before operating the machine.

Understanding the Safety-interlock
System

The safety-interlock system is designed for the
following:

•

To prevent the engine from starting unless the
traction-control pedal is in the neutral position.

•

To automatically ensure that the parking brake is
engaged and the PTO is off when starting.

•

To stop the engine whenever the traction-control
pedal is not in the neutral position and you rise
from the seat.

•

To automatically engage the parking brake and
disengage the PTO, when you rise out of the
seat with the traction-control pedal in the neutral
position.

•

To stop the engine whenever the parking brake is
not engaged and you rise from the seat.
