Understanding the Safety Interlock
System
The safety interlock system is designed to prevent the
engine from rotating or starting unless:
• The traction pedal is in neutral.
• The power take off (PTO) is disengaged.
The safety interlock system is designed to stop the engine if
you rise from the seat when the PTO is engaged or the
motion control is not in neutral.

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.
1. Set the parking brake, move motion control to neutral,
switch the power take off (PTO) “ON”. Now turn the
key to “START”; the engine should not rotate.
