Verify Interlock System Operation

CAUTION

The interlock switches are for the opera- tor's protection; do not disconnect them. Check the operation of the switches daily to assure the interlock system is operat- ing. If a switch is defective, replace it be- fore operating the machine. Regardless if switches are operating properly or not, replace them every two years to assure maximum safety.

1.Move the machine to a wide open area free of debris and bystanders. Raise the cutting units and stop the en- gine. Engage the parking brake. Keep hands and feet away from cutting units.

2.Make sure the mow/backlap knob is in the mow position (turned counterclockwise). Sit on the seat. Pull the cutting unit switch to the ON position. Try to start the engine. If the engine cranks, there may be a malfunction in the interlock system. Repair the problem immediately. If the engine does not crank, proceed to step 3.

3.Make sure the mow/backlap knob is in the mow position (turned counterclockwise), the traction pedal is in neutral, and the cutting unit switch is pushed to the OFF position. With the operator off the seat, start the en- gine. Depress the traction pedal with the operator out of the seat, the engine should stop. If the engine does not

stop, there may be a malfunction in the interlock system. Repair the problem immediately. If the engine does stop, proceed to step 4.

4.Make sure the mow/backlap knob is in the mow position (turned counterclockwise), the traction pedal is in neutral, and the cutting unit switch is pushed to the OFF position. With the operator off the seat, start the en- gine. Pull the cutting unit switch to the ON position, the engine should stop. If the engine does not stop, there may be a malfunction in the interlock system. Repair the problem immediately. If the engine does stop, proceed to step 5.

5.Make sure the mow/backlap knob is in the backlap position (turned clockwise), the traction pedal is in neu- tral, and the cutting unit switch is pushed to the OFF position. With the operator off the seat, start the engine. Pull the cutting unit switch to the ON position, the engine should not stop. If the engine does stop, there may be a malfunction in the interlock system. Repair the prob- lem immediately. If the engine does not stop, proceed to step 6.

6.With the cutting units in the raised position, sit on the seat and start the engine. Pull the cutting unit switch to the ON position. Lower the cutting units to the ground. The cutting unit reels should turn and the reels turning light should glow when the cutting units are lowered. Raise the cutting units and verify that the reels stop and the reels turning light is out. If the reels do not stop, there may be a malfunction in the interlock system. Repair the problem immediately.
