Safety Interlock System

This unit is equipped with safety interlock switches.  
These safety systems are present for your safety, 
do not attempt to bypass safety switches, and never 
tamper with safety devices.  Check their operation 
regularly.

Operational SAFETY Checks

Test 1 — Engine should NOT crank if:

  •  PTO switch is engaged, OR

  •  Parking brake is not engaged, OR

  •  Ground speed control levers are not in the 

NEUTRAL position.

Test 2 — Engine SHOULD crank if:

  •  PTO switch is NOT engaged, AND

  •  Parking brake is engaged, AND

  •  Ground speed control levers are locked in the 

NEUTRAL position.

Test 3 — Engine should SHUT OFF if:

  •  Operator rises off seat with PTO engaged, OR

  •  Operator rises off seat with parking brake 

disengaged.

  •  Operator moves the ground speed control levers 

out of their neutral positions before disengaging 
the parking brake.

Test 4 — Blade Brake Check

Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to 
a complete stop within seven (7) seconds after the 
electric PTO switch is turned off (or operator rises off 
seat).  If the mower drive belt does not stop within 
seven (7) seconds, see your dealer.

NOTE: Once the engine has stopped, PTO switch 
must be turned off, parking brake must be engaged, 
and the ground speed control levers must be in the 
NEUTRAL position after the operator returns to the 
seat in order to start the engine.

WARNING

If the unit does not pass a safety test, do not 
operate it.  See your authorized dealer.  Under 
no circumstance should you attempt to defeat 
the purpose of the safety interlock system.

Safety Icons

is used to identify safety 

information about hazards that can result in personal 
injury.  A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or 
CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to indicate
