CHECK INTERLOCK SYSTEM
OPERATION
The purpose of the interlock system is to prevent the
engine from cranking or operating the traction pedal if
the functional control lever is not in neutral. Also, the
engine will shut off if operator leaves seat without the
functional control lever in neutral. Reels will shut-off if
the functional control lever is moved to neutral or
transport. Perform the following system checks daily to
be sure the interlock system is operating correctly.
1.
Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, move the
functional control lever to neutral and try to depress
the traction pedal. The pedal should not depress,
which means the interlock system is operating
correctly. Correct problem if the system is not
operating properly.
2.
Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, put the
traction pedal in neutral, the functional control lever
in mow or transport and try to start the engine. The
engine should not crank, which means the interlock
system is operating correctly. Correct the problem
if the system is not operating properly.
3.
Sit on the seat and start the engine. Move the
functional control lever to mow and rise off seat.
The engine should kill, which means the interlock
system is operating correctly. Correct the problem
Operation
18
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution
when storing or handling it. Do not smoke while
filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel the tank
while engine is running, hot, or when the machine
is in an enclosed area. Always fill the fuel tank
outside and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before
starting the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety-
approved container and keep the cap in place.
Use diesel fuel for the engine only; not for any
other purpose.
