6.Fuse Holders (Figure 4-1). Two 20-amp fuses protect the mower’s electrical system. To replace fuses, pull fuse out of the socket and install a new fuse.

7.Left Steering Control (Figure 4-1). Used to control the mower's left wheel when traveling forward or reverse.

8.Right Steering Control (Figure 4-1). Used to control the mower's right wheel when traveling forward or reverse.

9.Parking Brake Control (Figure 4-1). Used to engage and disengage the parking brakes. Pull the lever back to engage the parking brakes. Push the lever forward to disengage the parking brakes.

10.Fuel Switching Valve (Figure 4-1). Located on the left side of the machine. Used to shut off fuel supply to the engine and change fuel supply between the fuel tanks. Rotate the valve counter clockwise to supply fuel from the tank on the left side only. Rotate the valve clockwise to supply fuel from the tank on the right side only.

11.Dump Valve Control Levers (Figure 4-2). Located on the hydraulic pumps, used to “free-wheel” the mower. Rotating the levers clockwise until they stop (closed) allows the unit to move under hydraulic power. The levers must be in this position and torqued to 10 lb-ft during operation of the mower. Rotating the levers counter-clockwise (open) allows the mower to be moved by hand (free-wheeling).

15.Seat Belt (Figure 4-1).Used to secure the operator. Seat belt must be worn at all times when the ROPS is in the upright and locked position.

16.Seat Hold Down Release Latch (Figure 4-1). Located behind the seat. Used to secure the seat in the operator's position. Release the latch to gain access under the seat.

4.2 Safety Interlock System

The mower is equipped with a safety interlock system that prevents the engine from starting unless the deck drive is disengaged, the parking brake is engaged, the steering control levers are in the neutral position and the operator is in the seat. The interlock system shuts off the engine if the operator leaves the seat with the steering control levers not in the neutral position and/or the cutter blades engaged and the parking brake not engaged.

WARNING

Never operate the mower with the interlock system disconnected or malfunctioning. Do not disengage or bypass any switch; injury to yourself and others or property damage could result.
