This safety feature prevents mower runaway or accidental
entanglement during operation.
Check the mower’s safety start interlock system daily,
prior to operation.
To inspect the system:
1. Place the H-Bar lever in the neutral position,
2. Move neutral lock/park brake lever to the park brake
position.
3. Move deck clutch switch to the disengaged (down)
position.
4. Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating
temperature.
5. With the neutral lock/park brake lever in the unlocked
position (Figure 3-5) and/or the deck clutch switch
engaged (up position), slowly release both operator
presence control levers.
The engine should stop.
6. Place the neutral lock/park brake lever in the park
brake (locked) position (Figure 3-4) and the deck
clutch switch disengaged (down) position.
The engine
should continue to run without the operator presence
control switches engaged.
7. If the engine fails to stop when:
• the deck clutch switch is up, or
• the neutral lock/park brake lever is unlocked, and
• both operator presence control levers are
released, then
• check the function of the operator presence con-
trol switches. If these switches are not operating
properly
(are not opening or closing) and if the
cause can not be determined, contact your Hus-
tler

Dealer.
