The Safety Interlock System

Understanding the Safety Interlock
System
The safety interlock system is designed to prevent the
engine from starting unless:
You are sitting on the seat
The parking brake is on "ENGAGED"
The power take off (PTO) is disengaged "OFF"
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 on "ENGAGED" or if you rise
from the seat when the PTO is "ON" engaged.
