Safety Interlock System

This unit is equipped with safety interlock switches. These safety systems are present for your safety, do not attempt to bypass safety switches, and never tamper with safety devices. Check their operation regularly.

Operational SAFETY Checks

Test 1 — Engine should NOT crank if:

•PTO switch is engaged, OR

•Parking brake is not engaged, OR

•Forward Speed Control Lever is not in the NEUTRAL position.

Test 2 — Engine SHOULD crank if:

•PTO switch is NOT engaged, AND

•Parking brake is engaged, AND

•Forward Speed Control Lever is in the NEUTRAL position.

Test 3 — Engine should SHUT OFF if:

•Operator releases the operator presence handles with PTO engaged, OR

•Operator releases the operator presence handles with the parking brake disengaged.

Test 4 — Blade Brake Check

Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a complete stop within seven (7) seconds after electric PTO switch is turned off (or operator rises off seat). If mower drive belt does not stop within seven (7) seconds, see your dealer.

NOTE: Once the engine has stopped, PTO switch must be turned off, parking brake must be engaged, and the motion control handle must be returned to the NEUTRAL position in order to start the engine.

WARNING

If the unit does not pass a safety test, do not operate it. See your authorized dealer. Under no circumstance should you attempt to defeat the purpose of the safety interlock system.

Operator Safety

Safety Icons

The alert symbol is used to identity safety information about hazards that can result in personal injury. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential severity of the injury. In addition, a hazard icon may be used to represent the type of hazard. An explanation of hazard levels and icons are as follows:

DANGER

This indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will result in

serious injury or death.

WARNING

This indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in serial injury or death.

CAUTION

This indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, might result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION or NOTICE

These messages presented without the alert symbol indicate a situation where the unit or property could be damaged.
