Checking the Interlock
Switches
CAUTION
If 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.
The machine has interlock switches in the electrical
system. These switches are designed to stop traction
when the operator gets off of the seat when the
traction pedal is depressed. Although the engine will
continue to run, it is strongly recommended that the
engine be stopped before rising from the seat.
To check the operation of the interlock switches,
perform the following procedure:
1.
Drive the machine slowly to a large, relatively
open area. Lower the cutting unit, stop the
engine, and apply the parking brake.
2.
Sit on the seat and depress the traction pedal.
Try to start the engine. The engine should
not crank. If the engine cranks, there is a
malfunction in the interlock system that should
be corrected before beginning operation.
3.
Sit on the seat and start the engine. Rise from
the seat and move the PTO lever to On. The
PTO should not engage. If the PTO engages,
there is a malfunction in the interlock system that
should be corrected before beginning operation.
4.
Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake and
start the engine. Move the traction pedal out of
the neutral position. The InfoCenter will display
"traction not allowed" and the machine should
not move. If the engine does move, there is a
malfunction in the interlock system that should
be corrected before beginning operation.
Using the Rollover
Protection System (ROPS)
WARNING
To avoid injury or death from rollover: keep
the roll bar in the raised locked position and
use the seat belt.
Ensure that the seat is secured with the seat
latch.
WARNING
There is no rollover protection when the roll
bar is in the down position.
• Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
• Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar
is in the down position.
• Drive slowly and carefully.
• Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance
permits.
• Check carefully for overhead clearances
(i.e. branches, doorways, electrical wires)
before driving under any objects and do
not contact them.
Important:
Lower the roll bar only when
absolutely necessary.
1.
To lower the roll bar, remove the hairpin cotters
and the two pins
