4.2 SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
The mower is equipped with a safety interlock system that
prevents the engine from starting unless the deck drive is
disengaged, the steering control levers are in the neutral
position and the operator is in the seat. The interlock
system shuts off the engine if the operator leaves the seat
with the steering control levers not in the neutral position
and/or the cutter blades engaged and the parking brake
not engaged.
Never operate the mower with the interlock
system disconnected or malfunctioning. Do not
disengage or bypass any switch; injury to yourself
and others or property damage could result.
4.3 TESTING THE SAFETY INTERLOCK
SYSTEM
The safety interlock system should be tested each time
before using the machine. If the safety interlock system
does not operate as described below, contact your local
Authorized Scag Power Equipment Dealer immediately to
have the safety interlock system repaired.
