The Safety Interlock System

CAUTION

If safety interlock switches are disconnected or damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly causing personal injury.

•Do Not tamper with the interlock switches.

•Check the operation of the interlock switches daily and replace any damaged switches before operating the machine.

Understanding the Safety Interlock System

The safety interlock system is designed to prevent the engine from starting unless:

•The blades are disengaged.

•The motion control levers are in the neutral position.

•The parking brake is engaged.

The safety interlock system is designed to initiate engine shutdown when:

•The parking brake is disengaged and the operator gets off machine.

•The PTO is engaged and the operator gets off machine.

•The parking brake is disengaged and levers are in and the operator gets off machine.

•The parking brake is engaged and motion control levers are in.

Testing the Safety Interlock System

Test the safety interlock system before you use the machine each time

1.Check starting circuit. Starter should crank with parking brake engaged, PTO disengaged and motion control levers moved out in the neutral lock position. The operator does not need to be in the seat to start the engine.

Try to start with operator in seat, parking brake disengaged, PTO disengaged and motion control levers in the neutral lock position - starter must not crank.
