Safety Interlock
This unit is equipped with a safety interlock system for
your protection. The interlock safety switches are
connected to the brake pedal, the blade engagement
pedal, the shift lever, and the seat.
The purpose of the safety interlock system is threefold:
a. to prevent the engine from starting unless the
brake pedal is depressed and the blade
engagement pedal is disengaged;
b.
to shut off the engine if the blade pedal is not
disengaged when the shift lever is put into
reverse; and
c.
to shut the engine off when the operator leaves
the seat without engaging the parking brake.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of serious
injury, do not operate the riding mower if the
interlock system is malfunctioning.
•
Remove objects that could be thrown by the
blade(s).
•
Know location and function of all controls.
•
Be sure blade(s) and engine are stopped before
placing hands or feet near blade(s).
•
Before leaving operator's position, disengage
blade(s), place the shift lever in neutral, engage
parking brake, shut engine off and remove key.
Using Shift Lever
This lever is used to regulate
direction of the riding mower. It
can be set at forward, neutral, or
reverse settings. These settings
are marked F, N, and R
respectively on the unit. This
unit is designed not to mow
when the shift lever is in R
position.
•
Before you move the shift
lever to any of the positions, depress the brake
pedal and stop the unit. Keep your foot on the brake
pedal.
•
The shift lever is locked at the N position. Move the
lever outwards (left) and slide the lever upward to F
or downward to R position as desired.
NOTE: Look at the rear and make sure the path is free
of obstacles before positioning the shift lever to the
reverse.
•
Do not force the shift lever. If it does not shift,
release the brake pedal slightly to line up the
shifting collar in the transmission, then try to move
the shift lever.
Slowly release the brake pedal and take your foot off
the pedal. Always make sure that there is no one in the
way when you run the equipment.
Grass Fill Level Indicator
This indicator was designed
to add convenience to your
riding mower. While the
mower is running, air will flow
through the discharge chute
and into the grass catcher. If
the grass catcher is empty,
air flows through easily
pushing the ball up. If the
grass catcher is full, air does
not flow through it causing the ball to fall. So if you see
the ball in the grass fill level indicator falling down, you
should stop the mower and empty the bag.
