The Safety Interlock System
If safety interlock switches are disconnected
or damaged the machine could operate
unexpectedly causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock
switches daily and replace any damaged
switches before operating the machine.
Understanding the Safety Interlock
System
The safety interlock system is designed to prevent the
engine from starting unless:
• The parking brake is engaged.
• The blades are disengaged.
• The motion control levers are in the neutral lock
position.
The safety interlock system also is designed to stop the
engine when the control levers are out of the neutral
lock position with the parking brake on or if you rise
from the seat when the blades are engaged.
