Operator Presence Handles: These handles are a major factor
in the safety interlock system of the mower. Both handles are
tied together so depressing one handle depresses both. The
operator must depress the handles in order to activate the PTO
(Power Take Off) switch.
If the operator presence handles are released and the forward
speed control lever is in the NEUTRAL position and the PTO
switch is engaged, the mower blades will stop, but the engine
will remain running.
If the operator presence handles are released and the forward
speed control lever is NOT in the NEUTRAL position, the engine
will stop (with or without the PTO engaged).
Forward Speed Control Lever / Drive Levers: These levers
control the ground speed and direction of travel of the mower.
