The safety-interlock system also is designed to shut off
the engine when the traction controls are moved from
the locked position with the parking brake engaged or
if you rise from the seat when the PTO is engaged.
The hour meter has symbols to notify the user when
the interlock component is in the correct position.
When the component is in the correct position, a
triangle lights up in the corresponding square.
