Operator Safety Interlock System
The 4500 power unit is equipped with a safety interlock system. This system:
• Prevents the engine from starting unless the parking brake is engaged and SDLA control is in neutral.
• Prevents the PTO from starting if the operator is not in the seat.
• Prevents the power unit from driving if the parking brake is engaged.*
• Shuts off the PTO if the operator leaves the seat^.
• Shuts off the engine (and fuel pump) if the operator leaves the seat without engaging the parking brake.
• Shuts off the engine if the forward / reverse controls (SDLA lever or foot pedal) are moved from neutral
while the parking brake is engaged.
*The parking brake must be completely disengaged before moving the SDLA lever forward or backward or the power unit engine will shut off.
^If power unit is equipped with PTO remote kit # 70.4106 and is using an attachment with a remote PTO shut-off switch, the safety interlock system performs additional functions.
