If the needle is toward the negative end of the meter,
this indicates a discharge condition and the machine
should be taken in for service.
6. Hourmeter (Figure 4-1).
Indicates the number of
hours the engine has been operated. It operates
whenever the ignition key switch is in the ON
position. It can be used to keep track of maintenance
intervals and the amount of time required to perform
various tasks.

4.2 SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
The mower is equipped with a safety interlock system
that prevents the engine from starting unless the deck
drive is disengaged, the parking brake is engaged, the
steering control levers are in the neutral position and the
operator is in the seat. The interlock system shuts off the
engine if the operator leaves the seat with the steering
control levers not in the neutral position and/or the cutter
blades engaged and the parking brake not engaged.
Never operate the mower with the interlock
system disconnected or malfunctioning. Do not
disengage or bypass any switch; injury to
yourself and others or property damage could
result.
