Testing the Safety System

Test the safety system before you use the machine
each time. If the safety system does not operate as
described below, have an Authorized Service Dealer
repair the safety system immediately. While setting in
the seat, perform the following checks.
1. Set the parking brake. Move the blade control
(PTO) to "ENGAGED." Now turn the ignition
key to "START"; the engine should not crank.
2. Move the blade control (PTO) to
"DISENGAGED" and release the parking brake.
Now turn the ignition key to "START"; the
engine should not crank.
3. Set the parking brake and move the blade control
(PTO) to "DISENGAGED." Now start the
engine. While the engine is running, release the
parking brake and rise slightly from the seat; the
engine should stop.
4. Put the PTO lever in the "disengage" position
and the foot pedal in neutral. Now start the
engine. While the engine is running, move the
PTO lever to the "engage" position and move the
foot pedal to reverse. The engine should stop.
5. Put the PTO lever in the "disengage" position
and the foot pedal in neutral. Now start the
engine. Move the PTO lever to the "engage"
position and turn the "Key Choice" key and
release. The Operating-in-Reverse warning light
should illuminate. Move the PTO lever to the
"disengage" position and the
Operating-in-Reverse warning light should turn
off.
