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.
Test the safety interlock system before you use the
machine each time. If the safety interlock system does
not operate as described below, have an Authorized
Service Dealer repair the safety interlock system
immediately. While sitting in the seat, perform the
following checks:
1. Set the parking brake, shift the blade control (PTO)
knob to the Engage position, and turn the ignition
key to Start: The engine should not crank.
2. Shift the blade control (PTO) knob to the Disengage
position, release the parking brake, and turn the
ignition key to Start: The engine should not crank.
3. Set the parking brake, shift the blade control (PTO)
knob to Disengage, and start the engine. While the
engine is running, release the parking brake and rise
slightly from the seat: The engine should stop.
4. Shift the blade control (PTO) knob into the
Disengage position, put the traction control pedal
in Neutral, and start the engine. While the engine
is running, shift the blade control (PTO) knob into
the Engage position and put the traction control
pedal in Reverse: The engine should stop.
5. Shift the blade control (PTO) knob into the
Disengage position and put the traction control
pedal in Neutral. Start the engine, shift the blade
control (PTO) knob into the Engage position,
and turn the KeyChoice key and release it: The
