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:
• The mower deck is disengaged.
• The steering controls are in the outer, locked
neutral position.
• 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To be able to drive, the driver must sit in the
seat and release the parking brake before
the steering controls can be moved into the
neutral position, otherwise the engine will
stop.
