SECTION 6:
OPERATING YOUR LAWN TRACTOR
Safety Interlock System
This tractor is equipped with a safety interlock system
for the protection of the operator. Before each use,
check the safety interlock system for proper operation.
If the interlock system should ever malfunction, do not
operate the tractor. Contact an authorized Toro service
dealer.
•
The safety interlock system prevents the engine
from cranking or starting unless the parking brake is
engaged, and the PTO (Blade Engage) lever is in
the disengaged (OFF) position. To check for proper
operation, move the PTO (Blade Engage) lever into
the engaged (ON) position and release the parking
brake. Attempts to start the tractor’s engine should
fail.
•
The engine will automatically shut off if the operator
leaves the seat before engaging the parking brake.
To check for proper operation, start the tractor’s
engine, release the parking brake and momentarily
raise yourself from the seat. The engine should
stall.
•
The engine will automatically shut off if the operator
leaves the tractor’s seat with the PTO (Blade
Engage) lever in the engaged (ON) position,
regardless of whether the parking brake is
engaged. To check for proper operation, start the
tractor’s engine, move the PTO (Blade Engage)
lever in the engaged (ON) position and momentarily
raise yourself from the seat. The engine should
stall.
•
With the ignition key in the
NORMAL MOWING
position, the engine will automatically shut off if the
PTO (Blade Engage) lever is moved into the
engaged (ON) position with the drive pedal in
position for Reverse travel. To check for proper
operation, start the tractor’s engine with the ignition
key in the
NORMAL MOWING
position, move the
PTO (Blade Engage) lever in the engaged (ON)
position, and place the shift lever into REVERSE.
The engine should stall.
WARNING:
Do not operate the tractor if the
interlock system is malfunctioning. This
system was designed for your safety and
protection.
