SAFETYINTERLOCKSYSTEM(ALLMODELS)
Your mower is equipped with a
Safety Interlock System. See
Figure 4-3 which shows the cover
and safety interlock. This system
prevents the engine from starting
unless the discharge cover or op-
tional grass catcher is properly in-
stalled. The rod (A) must be posi-
tioned as shown in the slot (B) in
order to start the engine.
The system also stops the engine if
the operator attempts to remove the
grass catcher or discharge cover
while the engine is running. When
the rod is not in place, a circuit
opens to ground out the engine.
If the safety interlock system fails,
shut off the engine and do not op-
erate the machine until the system
is repaired. See your local autho-
rized dealer or call the Factory for
further information.
