OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM
Be sure the operator presence and interlock
systems are working properly. If your mower
does not function as described, repair the
problem immediately.
The engine should not start unless the
parking brake is engaged, the PTO
switch is disengaged (pressed down),
the operator is on the seat, and the
control levers are rotated to the outside
of the mower.
When the engine is running, any attempt
by the operator to leave the seat without
first setting the park brake should shut off
the engine.
When the engine is running and the PTO
switch is engaged, any attempt by the
operator to leave the seat without first
disengaging the PTO switch, should shut
off the engine.
When the engine is running and the
control levers are rotated in, any attempt
by the operator to leave the seat without
rotating the control levers out, should
shut off the engine.
The PTO switch should never engage
without the operator on the seat.
