MODULESYSTEM
The interlock modules function is to prevent the engine from starting if the blade and/or traction systems are engaged. It also causes engine shutdown if the operator falls from, or attempts to leave the operator position while the blades or traction drives are engaged. After the engine starts, the operator must hold either the left or right O.P. lever down before engaging the blades or shifting the transmission into gear. If niether O.P. lever is held the engine will stop.
INTERLOCKSAFTEYSYSTEM
Check the function of the safety electrical system on a regular basis.
1.Engine must kill if blades are engaged without O.P. levers held down.
2.Engine must kill if transmission is taken out of neutral without holding down O.P. levers.
3.Engine must not start unless blades are off and transmission is in the neutral position.
4.Do not operate the mower if the interlock saftey system allows operating or starting in any unsafe condition.
