The Safety Interlock System
If safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly
causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
Caution
Understanding the Safety Interlock
System
The safety interlock system is designed to prevent the
mower blades from rotating unless:
• The control bail is depressed
• The blade control switch (PTO) is pulled “ON”
The safety interlock system is designed to stop the mower
blades if you released the blade control bail.
Testing the Safety Interlock System
Test the safety interlock system before you use the
machine each time. If the safety system does not operate
as described below, have an Authorized Service Dealer
repair the safety system immediately.
