SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM4.2
The mower is equipped with a safety interlock system that
prevents the engine from starting unless the deck drive is
disengaged, the steering control levers are in the neutral
position and the operator is in the seat. The interlock
system shuts off the engine if the operator leaves the seat
with the steering control levers not in the neutral position
and/or the cutter blades engaged and the parking brake
not engaged.
WARNING
Never operate the mower with the interlock
system disconnected or malfunctioning. Do not
disengage or bypass any switch; injury to yourself
and others or property damage could result.
