Safety Start Interlock System

The mower's safety start interlock system consists of the
park brake switches, seat switch, and deck clutch switch.
IMPORTANT: Repair this important safety feature immedi-
ately if it malfunctions.
This safety feature prevents mower runaway or accidental
A
entanglement during operation.
Check the mower's safety start interlock system daily,
prior to operation.
To inspect the system:
1. Sit on the seat when testing the seat switch.
2. Set both steering control levers in the park brake posi-
tion.
3. Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating
temperature.
4. With the deck clutch switch down and the steering
control levers in the park brake position, slowly rise off
of the seat. The engine should continue to run.
5. With the deck clutch switch up and/or the steering
control levers in the neutral position, slowly rise off of
the seat. The engine should stop.
6. If the engine fails to stop when:
• the deck clutch switch is up, or
• one or both of the steering control levers is in the
up (out of neutral position), and
• the operator is off the seat, then
• check the function of the seat switch. Replace
the seat switch if it is not operating properly (is
not opening or closing) and if the cause can not
be determined.
