Using the Safety-Interlock
System
CAUTION
If the 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.
Understanding the Safety-Interlock
System
The safety-interlock system prevents the engine from starting
unless:
•
You are sitting on the seat or the parking brake is engaged.
•
The power takeoff (PTO) is disengaged.
•
The motion-control levers are in the N
position.
•
The engine temperature is below the maximum operating
temperature.
The safety-interlock system also stops the engine when you
move the traction controls from the N
with the parking brake engaged. If you rise from the seat
when the PTO is engaged, there is a 1-second delay and then
the engine stops.
Testing the Safety-Interlock System
Service Interval: Before each use or daily

each time. If the safety system does not operate as described
