Checking the Operation of the
Interlock Switches
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
CAUTION
If the safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly
causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
Operator Presence Control (OPC)
Interlock
1. Push the kickstand down with your foot and pull up
on the handle support until the kickstand has rotated
forward, over center.
2. With the OPC released, attempt to engage the traction
lever (Figure 19). The traction lever should not engage.
If the traction lever engages, the interlock system needs
service. Correct the problem before operating.
3. With the OPC pressed and the traction lever engaged,
release the OPC (Figure 20). The traction lever should
disengage. If the traction lever does not disengage, the
interlock system needs service. Correct the problem
before operating.
4. With the OPC pressed and the shift lever moved to the
left, engage the traction and reel drive, release the OPC
(Figure 20). The traction lever should disengage. If the
traction lever does not disengage, the interlock system
needs service. Correct the problem before operating.
Refer to Servicing the Traction Interlock Switch (page
33).
5. With the OPC pressed and the shift lever moved to the
left, engage the traction and reel drive. Move the shift
lever to the right to disengage the reel drive (Figure 19).
The reel drive should disengage. If not, the interlock
system needs service. Correct the problem before
operating. Refer to Servicing the Traction Interlock
Switch (page 33).
Traction Interlock Switch
1. Ensure that the kickstand is down.
2. Press the OPC and engage the traction lever (Figure 19)
3. Use the key switch to start the machine. The
InfoCenter LCD display will light up and display a
message warning that the traction lever is engaged. If
this warning does not appear, the interlock switch needs
service. Correct the problem before operating. Refer
to Servicing the Traction Interlock Switch (page 33).
4. Turn off the machine and return the traction lever to
neutral.
Brake Interlock Switch
1. Ensure that the kickstand is down.
2. With the machine on and the service brake engaged
(not the parking brake latch) with moderate force, press
the OPC and engage the traction lever (Figure 19). The
motor should labor to overcome the brake without
producing errors on the InfoCenter LCD display.
It may display a high power consumption advisory
(smaller battery with a lightning bolt). If you get any
other advisory, correct the problem before operating.
3. With the machine on, engage the parking brake latch,
press the OPC, and engage the traction lever (Figure
19 and Figure 20). The motor should not run and you
should get an advisory on the InfoCenter panel. If
not, the interlock switch needs service. Correct the
problem before operating. Refer to Servicing the Brake
Interlock Switch (page 34).
4. Turn off the machine and return the traction lever to
neutral.
5. Carefully lower the machine off of the kickstand.
Lithium Ion Battery Pack Care
WARNING
The battery pack contains high voltage which could
burn or electrocute you.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack.
• Do not place anything in the connector on
the battery pack other than the wire harness
connector that came with the product.
• Use extreme care when handling a battery pack
with a cracked case.
• Only use the charger designed for the battery
pack
Charging the Battery Pack
Charge the battery pack when you are finished mowing for
the day to ensure that it is fully charged for the next day's
mowing. Unlike other battery types, lithium ion batteries do
not have a charge memory issue and do not need to be fully
discharged before charging them.
Refer to the Lithium Ion Battery Charger Operator's Manual for
detailed instructions on charging the battery pack.
If you will be storing the mower for more than 10 days, ensure
that you place it on the charger and leave the charger turned
on. After 10 days of inactivity, the charger will automatically
switch to storage mode, during which it reduces and maintains
24
