Verify Interlock System Operation
The purpose of the interlock system is to prevent the
engine from cranking or starting unless the traction
pedal is in NEUTRAL and the cutting unit engagement
switch is DISENGAGED. In addition, the engine will stop
when the cutting unit engagement switch is engaged or
traction pedal is depressed with the operator off the
seat.
The interlock switches are for the operator’s
protection, so do not disconnect them. Check
operation of the switches daily to assure in
terlock system is operating. If a switch is
defective, replace it before operating. Regard
less if switches are operating properly or not,
replace them every two years to assure maxi
mum safety. do not rely entirely on safety
switches - use common sense!
