Using the Safety-Interlock
System
WARNING
If the 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.
Understanding the
Safety-Interlock System
The safety-interlock system is designed to prevent the engine
from starting unless:
• The blade-control switch (PTO) is disengaged.
• The motion-control levers are in the PARK position.
The safety-interlock system also is designed to shut off the
engine whenever the control levers are out of the PARK
position and you rise from the seat.
