Checking Interlock Switches - Toro REELMASTER 6700-D Operator's Manual

CHECKING THE INTERLOCK
SWITCHES
The purpose of the interlock switches is to prevent the engine
from cranking or starting unless the traction pedal is in NEU-
TRAL, the Enable/Disable switch is in DISABLE and the
Lower Mow/Raise control is in the neutral position. In addition,
the engine will stop when the traction pedal is depressed with
the operator off the seat.
THE INTERLOCK SWITCHES ARE FOR THE PRO-
TECTION OF THE OPERATOR AND BYSTANDERS,
AND TO ENSURE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE
MACHINE, SO DO NOT BYPASS OR DISCONNECT
THEM. CHECK THEIR OPERATION DAILY TO
INSURE THEY ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY. IF
A SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE, REPLACE IT BEFORE
OPERATING THE MACHINE. HOWEVER, DO NOT
RELY ENTIRELY ON SAFETY SWITCHES, ALSO
USE COMMON SENSE!
To verify interlock switch function:
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting
units, stop the engine and engage the parking brake.
2. Open the control panel cover. Locate the wire harness and
connectors #1 and #2 (connectors will have visible labels
attached).
3. Connect the Diagnostic ACE display connector to the har-
ness connectors. Make sure the correct overlay decal is
positioned on Diagnostic ACE display.
4. Turn the key switch to the ON position, but do not start the
machine.
Note: The red text on the overlay decal refers to input
switches and the green text refers to outputs.
5. The " inputs displayed" LED, on lower right column of the
Diagnostic ACE, should be illuminated. If the "outputs
displayed" LED is illuminated, press and release the toggle
button on the Diagnostic ACE to change the LED to
"inputs displayed". Do not hold the button down.
6. The Diagnostic ACE will illuminate the LED associated
with each of the inputs when that input switch is closed.
Individually, change each of the switches from open to
