Safety System
PT26D is equipped with a safety system that
prevents starting or driving under the follow-
ing conditions.
The engine can only be started when the
parking brake is on, and the drive pedals are
unactuated.
If the cutting unit is connected, it is disen-
gaged and must be re-engaged.
The driver does not need to be seated in the
driver's seat.
The engine and cutting unit must stop if the
driver leaves the driver's seat when the park-
ing brake is not applied or if any driving pedal
is affected. There is a small delay to prevent
stoppages should the driver bounce in the
seat.
If you attempt to drive the machine without
first releasing the parking brake the machine
stops.
If the safety system is deployed, the switch
for operating the cutting unit must be pressed
in and pulled out again for the cutting unit to
work.
