SECTION 8: OPERATION
SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCHES
This tractor is equipped with a safety interlock
system for the protection of the operator. If the
interlock system should ever malfunction, do not
operate the tractor. Contact a Cub Cadet Dealer in
your area. The safety interlock system prevents the
engine from cranking or starting unless the brake
pedal is fully depressed, and the PTO knob is in the
disengaged (OFF) position.
The safety interlock system will automatically
shut off the engine if the operator leaves the
seat before engaging the brake lock.
The safety interlock system will automatically
shut off the engine if the operator leaves the
seat with the PTO knob in the engaged (ON)
position, regardless of whether the brake lock
is engaged. The PTO knob must be in the
disengaged (OFF) position to restart the
engine.
The safety interlock system will automatically
shut off the electric PTO clutch if the PTO
knob is moved into the engaged (ON) position
with the shift lever in the REVERSE position.
