Warm Up
• Do not drive unit immediately after
start up. Allow engine to idle for a few
minutes. This allows components,
such as the transmission, to reach
operating temperature.
• Always run engine at full throttle.
While operating under heavy load
conditions, listen to engine RPM. If
engine begins to slow down, use a
slower travel speed. Reducing travel
speed will decrease engine load.
Interlock System Operation
1. Engine WILL start if both conditions A & B exist:
a. Brake pedal depressed.
b. Attachment/PTO drive disengaged (off).
2. Engine WILL NOT start if one or both conditions C & D exist:
c. Clutch pedal not depressed/parking brake not set.
d. Attachment/PTO drive engaged (on).
3. Engine WILL STOP if one or both conditions E & F exist:
e. Parking brake not set and seat not occupied.
f. Attachment/PTO drive engaged and seat not occupied.
4. The safety interlock system will automatically shut off the
PTO if the travel pedal (hydro models) is pressed for reverse
travel, or if the gear shift lever (gear drive models) is placed
into the reverse position.
