Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.7. REVERSE LOCKOUT MECHANISM
Data indicates that tragic back-over accidents occur
each year. These accidents usually involve
unsupervised children. Many times these children have
been given rides on the machine and have been trained
to view this potentially dangerous piece of machinery as
fun rather than being taught how to avoid danger.
This riding mower has a Reverse Lockout Mechanism.
This mechanism prevents the mower from being shifted
into reverse with the blades running. To shift into reverse
you must first stop the blades and then shift to reverse. It
is our recommendation that this mechanism remain
functional and the operator of this equipment develop
the habit of never backing up with the blades running. As
the Safety Instructions Indicate,
DO NOT operate
blades with machine in reverse. STOP BLADES,
LOOK AND SEE BEHIND AND DOWN for children,
pets and hazards before and while backing.
We realize that this could cause a change to your
previous mowing method but we encourage you to
adjust to this new system. Do not defeat the Reverse
Lockout Mechanism.
If you operate your mower near roadways or use
attachments that require quicker shifting to reverse,
there is an override lever provided. This lever can be
pushed and held before engaging the blades and will
allow reverse operation until the blade switch is pushed
in to the “OFF” position, at which time the system will
return to its Reverse Lockout mode. This feature should
never be selected unless you are absolutely sure that no
children or others are present in the mowing area and
that all children are away and supervised by a
responsible adult.
2.7.1. Reverse Lockout Mechanism Override
1. Stop machine. Stop blades.
2. Depress and hold Override Lever.
3. Pull blade switch “OUT” to engage blade.
4. Release Override Lever
WARNING
LOOK and SEE behind and down for children, pets
and hazards before and while backing.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT use the Reverse Lockout
Mechanism Override as the normal operating mode. To
return to the Reverse Lockout Mechanism mode,
disengage (STOP) blades by pushing blade switch in to
the “OFF” position. The Override will reset to Reverse
Lockout.
2.7.2. Check the Reverse Lockout Mechanism
Before each use, check the Reverse Lockout
Mechanism for proper function. The following
procedure requires the operation of the engine and
blades. Before proceeding, Read, Understand, and
Follow all Safety Instructions and Warnings in this
manual and on the machine.
1. Complete Pre-Start Checklist.
2. Move machine to clear open area. DO NOT
allow children or others in area.
3. Start engine.
4. Pull blade switch “OUT” to engage blades.
5. Reverse Lockout Mechanism must prevent
speed control lever from going into reverse.
WARNING
DO NOT operate machine if Reverse Lockout
Mechanism is not functioning properly. Contact your
SNAPPER dealer immediately for assistance.
DANGER
LOOK and SEE behind and down for children, pets
and hazards before and while backing.
BLADES must be turned off before backing
machine.
DO NOT allow children on machine (even with
blades off) or in yard when mowing.
