TEST THE SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
This mower features a Safety Interlock System to protect the operator by shutting off the blades if the
operator leaves the seat with the blades running. Test the system to be sure it is working correctly.
To test:
• Make sure direction control switch is in neutral (N) position and blade engage knob is down.
• Install start key and turn to ON position.
• Raise blade engage knob to activate blades.
• Briey lift off the seat, but do not get off the mower.
• The blades should shut off within 5 seconds. If they don’t, verify you connected the safety interlock
cable. If the cable is connected but the system still doesn’t function, please contact Yard Force
Customer Service. Do not operate the mower until the safety interlock system has been repaired.
