2.3 BEFORE OPERATION
CONSIDERATIONS (CONT'D)

This machine is equipped with an interlock
system intended to protect the operator and
others from injury. This is accomplished by
preventing the engine from starting unless the
deck drive is disengaged, the parking brake is on,
the steering control levers are in the neutral
position and the operator is in the seat. The
system shuts off the engine if the operator leaves
the seat with the deck drive engaged and/or the
steering control levers are not in the neutral
postion and the parking brake is not engaged.
Never operate equipment with the interlock system
disconnected or malfunctioning.

DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a
slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck
down). If the machine can back up the slope
without the wheels slipping, reduce speed and use
extreme caution. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA
APPROVED OPERATION.
