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.
