Safety System

The machine is equipped with a safety system
that prevents starting or driving under the
following conditions.
The engine can only be started when:
• The mower blades are disengaged.
• The motion control levers are in neutral.
After the machine is started, the engine will
continue to run for five minutes if the operator
leaves the seat after putting the motion control
levers in neutral. The blades will be disengaged
by the safety system. This allows the operator
to leave the machine momentarily to remove
obstacles from the mowing path.
The blade switch light will blink until the blade
switch is disengaged. See Ignition System
Faults in the Operation section. When the
operator returns to the seat, the blade switch will
need to be reset (pushed down, pulled up ) to re-
engage the blades.
The motion control fault light will blink if the
motion control levers are not in the neutral (outer)
position.
.
O
NOTE: The motion control light may also blink
if mowing is done on uneven terrain and where
there is varied operator pressure on the seat.
The switch is also programmed to blink the
motion control light (wilth blinks of a shorter
duration) to warn the operator if the switch is
faulty or has become disconnected.
