from the system, prevents wear on system parts, and
also prevents accidental lowering of the cutting units.
1. Return the engine speed to low idle.
2. Move the PTO switch to the Off position.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Rotate the ignition key to Off.
5. Remove the key from the switch to prevent
accidental starting.

Engine Speed Switch

The engine speed switch has 2 modes to change
the engine speed. Momentarily tapping the switch
increases or decreases the engine speed in 100-rpm
increments. Holding the switch down moves the
engine speed directly to high or low idle, depending
on which side of the switch you press.
Checking the Interlock
Switches
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
CAUTION
If 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.
The machine has interlock switches in the electrical
system. These switches are designed to stop the
engine when operator gets off of the seat when the
traction pedal is pressed. However, the operator may
get off of the seat while the engine is running and
the traction pedal is in neutral. Although the engine
will continue to run if the PTO switch is disengaged
and the traction pedal is released, it is strongly
recommended that the engine be stopped before
rising from the seat.
To check the operation of the interlock switches,
perform the following procedure:
1. Drive the machine slowly to a large, relatively
open area.
2. Lower the cutting units, stop the engine, and
apply the parking brake.
3. Sit on the seat and press the traction pedal.
4. Try to start the engine.
Note:
The engine should not crank. If the
engine cranks, there is a malfunction in the
interlock system that should be corrected before
beginning operation.
5. Sit on the seat and start the engine.
6. Rise from the seat and move the PTO switch
to the On position.
Note:
The PTO should not engage. If the
PTO engages, there is a malfunction in the
interlock system that should be corrected before
beginning operation.
7. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, and
start the engine.
8. Move the traction pedal out of the Neutral
position.
Note:
The engine should kill. If the engine
does not kill, there is a malfunction in the
interlock system that should be corrected before
beginning operation.
Cutting Grass with the
Machine
Note:
Cutting grass at a rate that loads the engine
promotes DPF regeneration.
1. Move the machine to the job site and align the
machine outside the cutting area for the first
cutting pass.
2. Ensure that the PTO switch is set to the
position.
3. Move the lever for the mow-speed limiter
forward.
4. Press the throttle-speed switch to set the engine
speed to
HIGH IDLE
5. Use the joystick to lower the cutting units to the
ground.
6. Press the PTO switch to prepare cutting units
for operation.
7. Use the joystick to raise the cutting units off the
ground.
8. Begin moving the machine toward the cutting
area and lower the cutting units.
Note:
Cutting grass at a rate that loads the
engine promotes DPF regeneration.
9. When you complete the mowing pass, use the
joystick to lift the cutting units.
10. Perform a tear-shaped turn to quickly line up for
your next pass.
