WARNING:
To avoid accidental starting or movement of the mower
that could result in death or serious personal injury,
always remove the start key and set the parking brake
when leaving the mower unattended.
NOTICE:
Always connect the mower to the charger when the unit
is not in use. If it is not possible to leave the mower char-
ger connected, make sure to charge the batteries fully at
least once a month.
TEST THE SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
See Figure 10.
This mower features a Safety Interlock System to protect
the operator by shutting off the blades if the operator leaves
the seat with the blades running. Test the system to be sure
it is working correctly.
To test:
 Position the mower on a level surface.
 Set the parking brake.
 Make sure the joystick is in the locked, neutral position
and blade engage knob is down.
 Install start key and turn to ON position.
 Raise blade engage knob to activate blades.
 Briefly lift off the seat, but do not get off the mower.
The blades should shut off within 5 seconds. If they don't,
verify you connected the safety interlock cable as described
on page 6. If the cable is connected but the system still
doesn't function, contact customer service. Do not operate
the mower until the safety interlock system has been repaired.
VERIFY MOWER CONDITION
Inspect the entire product for damaged, missing, or loose
parts such as screws, nuts, bolts, caps, etc. Tighten securely
all fasteners and caps and do not operate this product until
any missing or damaged parts are replaced.
