OPERATING THE TRACTOR
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with a safety In¬
terlock system for your protection. The purpose of the
safety interlock system is to prevent the engine from
cranking or starting unless the clutch-brake pedal is
depressed and the PTO lever is in the disengaged posi¬
tion. In addition, the PTO lever must be in the dis¬
engaged position when the unit is put into reverse or
the engine will shut off. If the operator leaves the seat
with the PTO lever engaged, and/or without setting the
parking brake, the engine will shut off.
WARNING: Do not operate the tractor if the
Interlock system Is malfunctioning
because it is a safety device, designed for
protection.
1. Place the PTO lever in the disengaged (down)
position.
2. Depress the clutch-brake pedal and set the park¬
ing brake.
3. Place the hydrostatic control lever in the NEUTRAL
(N) position.
4. Set the throttle control in the FAST position.
