Checking the Safety System
PT 26D is equipped with a safety system that prevents
starting or driving under the following conditions.
The engine can only be started when the parking
brake is applied and the drive pedals are unactuated.
If the cutting unit is connected, it is disengaged and
must be re-engaged.
The driver does not need to be seated in the driver’s
seat.
The engine and cutting unit must stop if the driver
leaves the driver’s seat when the parking brake is not
applied or if any driving pedal is affected. There is a
small delay to prevent stoppages should the driver
bounce in the seat.
If you attempt to drive without releasing the parking
brake the machine stops.
If the safety system is deployed, the switch for
operating the cutting unit must be pressed in and
pulled out again for the cutting unit to work.
Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety
system works by attempting to start the engine or drive
when one of the conditions to start or operate is not
met. Change the conditions and try again.
