The motion control levers are in neutral lock position.
The safety interlock system also is designed to stop the
engine when the traction controls are moved with the
parking brake engaged or if you rise from the seat when
the PTO is on.
Testing the Safety Interlock
System
Test the safety interlock system before you use the
machine each time. If the safety system does not operate
as described below, have an Authorized Service Dealer
repair the safety system immediately.
1. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake and move
PTO to on. Try starting the engine; the engine should
not crank.
2. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake and turn PTO
off. Move either motion control lever (forward or
reverse). Try starting the engine; the engine should not
crank. Repeat with other motion control lever.
3. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, move the
PTO to off and lock the motion control levers in
neutral. Now start the engine. While the engine is
running, release the parking brake, engage the PTO
and rise slightly from the seat; the engine should stop.
4. Sit on the seat, engage parking brake, turn the PTO off
and lock the motion control levers in neutral. Now
start the engine. While the engine is running, center
the motion controls and move (forward or reverse); the
engine should stop.
5. Sit on the seat, disengage the parking brake, move
PTO switch to off and move the motion control levers
to neutral lock position. Try starting the engine; the
