4.2 SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM

The mower is equipped with an interlock system intended to protect the operator and others from injury. This is accomplished by preventing the engine from starting unless the deck drive is disengaged, the neutral lock lever is in the neutral lock position, and the operator is in the operating position. The system shuts off the engine if the operator steps off the operator platform with the deck drive engaged or if the neutral lock lever is placed in the drive position (D) and the parking brake is applied. Never operate equipment with the interlock system disconnected or malfunctioning.

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.
