Seat safety switch operation check
The seat safety switch automatically stops the engine if the operator’s
weight is off the seat when the following interlocks are actuated.
1. While parked on a level surface, start the engine, and move the P.T.O.
lever to ON (Engaged).
Rise off the seat; the engine should stop.
2. Return the P.T.O. lever to OFF (Disengaged) and restart the engine.
Release the parking brake and shift the transmission into 1st gear.
While driving slowly, raise off the seat - the engine should stop
immediately.
