operator must return to the seat, then operate the cutterhead drive switch to the 'OFF' position before
moving it back to the 'ON' position. If the operator rises off the seat for a brief moment during normal
work, drive to the cutting cylinders is not affected.
The engine can only be started with the cutterhead drive switch in the 'OFF' position.
