Safety interlock operating instructions
Clutch/brake
pedal switch
Each machine has 2 interlock switches for safe starting and a switch which
shuts
off
the engine when the driver rises from the seat.
The clutch/brake pedal must be depressed and the cutter engaging lever
disengaged before the engine will start.
If
the engine will not start, check that the cutting head engaging lever is
disengaged (vertical position) and the clutch/brake pedal depressed.
The safety interlock system must be tested each time the machine is used.
To test operation, the following functions must be observed.
If
not,
immediate repairs must be perfomed by an authorised dealer for your
protection.

Test each
of
the switches separately. With the engine running, rise
