Operation
SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
Your tractor is equipped with a seat switch safety system that
will automatically shut the engine off when the operator
leaves the seat with the PTO engaged or with the
transmission lever in gear. The tractor engine will continue
to run when the operator leaves the seat if the PTO is
disengaged and the transmission is in neutral.
Check the seat switch (A, figure 9) every fall and spring with
the following three tests. Make sure the wiring harness (B) is
securely plugged into the switch.
WARNING
