Using the Safety-Interlock
System
WARNING
If the 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 to prevent the
engine from starting unless:
•
The parking brake is engaged.
•
The PTO-engagement lever is disengaged.
•
The speed-control lever is in the N
EUTRAL
position
The safety-interlock system is designed to shut off the
engine when you rise from the seat when the PTO
is engaged.
The hour meter has indicators to notify the user when
the interlock component is in the correct position.
When the component is in the correct position, an
indicator displays on the screen.
