Use a clean surface to lay out parts being removed.
Keep lubricants clean and cover containers not being
used. Plug or cap all hydraulic lines and ports to hy-
draulic components immediately after disconnecting.

INTRODUCTION
SECTION 1A. GENERAL INFORMATION
1A-2
This machine is equipped with an interlock sys-
tem which is intended to protect the operator
and others from injury, by preventing the engine
from starting, unless the implement switch is in
the “Off” position, traction pedal is in the “Neutral”
position and the brake set. The system also shuts
off the engine if the operator leaves the seat with
the implement switch “On” and brake released. In
the interest of safe operating conditions, this ma-
chine must never be operated with the interlock
relays or interlock system disconnected or mal-
functioning.
