Safety Interlock System
• LCD indicators appear for the park brake, drive
levers, and operator presence in the message
display on the front control panel.
Note: Because the PTO must be disengaged
to start the engine, the LCD indicator will not
illuminate at this time.
• PTO must be disengaged and motion control
levers in neutral to start engine. (It is not
necessary for the operator to be on the platform
to start the engine.)
• Mower blades will stop if the right side motion
control lever is moved or released into the PTO
disengage position.
• Engine will stop if the motion control levers are
moved from the neutral position with the park
brake engaged.

provide independent speed control, braking and
neutral to each drive wheel for moving forward or
reverse, stopping, and power turning.
