the warning indicator light button (Fig. 13). All lights

CHECKING THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM
THE INTERLOCK SWITCHES ARE FOR THE
OPERATOR'S PROTECTION, SO DO NOT DIS-
CONNECT THEM. CHECK SWITCH OPERA-
TION DAILY TO MAKE SURE THE INTER-
LOCK SYSTEM IS OPERATING. IF A SWITCH
IS DEFECTIVE, REPLACE IT BEFORE OPERAT-
ING. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE
SWITCHES ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY,
REPLACE THEM EVERY TWO YEARS TO
ASSURE MAXIMUM SAFETY
1. In a wide open area free of debris and bystanders, lower
the cutting units to the ground. Stop the engine.
2. Sit on the seat and engage the parking brake (Fig. 14).
Turn the key and try to start the engine with the Mow
Backlap lever (Fig. 14) in both the MOW and BACK-
LAP positions. If the engine cranks, there is a malfunc-
tion that must be repaired immediately. If the engine
does not crank, the cutter drive switch is operating cor-
rectly.
3. Sit on the seat and disengage the parking brake (Fig. 14).
Turn the key and try to start the engine with the Mow
Backlap lever (Fig. 14) in STOP. If the engine cranks,
there is a malfunction that must be repaired immediately.
If the engine doesn't crank, the brake switch is operating
correctly.
4. Engage the parking brake (Fig. 14), start the engine and
lower the cutting units. Move the Mow-Backlap lever
(Fig. 14) to MOW. Rise off the seat; the engine should
stop within a few seconds, which indicates the interlock
system is operating. Also rise off the seat with the lever
in BACKLAP. The engine should stop, indicating the
interlock system is operating. If the engine does not stop,
there is a malfunction that must be repaired immediately.
