Safety Interlock System - Kioti WD1260 Operator's Manual

WARNING! Never tamper with the safety interlock system. It is designed to protect you and
those around you from an accident. Tampering with safety components may render your
machine unsuitable for safe operation, and will void warranty.
The mower is equipped with a Safety Interlock System (SIS). This system is for your protection – never tamper with
the safety systems found on the machine. Do not attempt to disconnect, bypass, or "fix" the switches into any position
– doing so is dangerous and invites an accident.
SIS will prevent engine starting if brake is not engaged or if the PTO is engaged. It is necessary to push the parking
brake pedal down fully to start the machine. PTO must also be disengaged to start.
The SIS will turn engine off if seat is not occupied while blades are engaged or if operator leaves seat without
engaging parking brake.
You must sit fully in the seat; the seat may need to be adjusted so that adequate weight is on the seat. If you
experience erratic engine operation while transporting or mowing, you may need to adjust the seat so that adequate
pressure is placed on the seat even in bumpy terrain.
The PTO will not engage if the grass container or appropriate attachment is not properly installed and in operating
position.
