Safety System
This machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions.
The engine can only be started when:
1.The mower deck is disengaged.
2.The steering controls are in the outer, locked neutral position.
3.The parking brake is on.
Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety system works by attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions is not met. Change the conditions and try again.
If the machine starts when one of these conditions is not met, turn the machine off and repair the safety system before using the machine again.
Make sure the engine stops when the park brake is not engaged and the operator leaves the seated position.
Check that the engine stops if the mower blades are engaged and the driver temporarily moves off the driver's seat.
