Safety Interlock
This unit is equipped with a safety interlock system for
your protection. The interlock safety switches are
connected to the brake pedal, the blade engagement
pedal, the shift lever, and the seat.
The purpose of the safety interlock system is threefold:
a. to prevent the engine from starting unless the
brake pedal is depressed and the blade
engagement pedal is disengaged;
b. to shut off the engine if the blade pedal is not
disengaged when the shift lever is put into
reverse; and
c. to shut the engine off when the operator leaves
the seat without engaging the parking brake.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of serious
injury, do not operate the rider mower if
the interlock system is malfunctioning.
• Remove objects that could be thrown by the
blade(s).
• Know location and function of all controls.
• Be sure blade(s) and engine are stopped before
placing hands or feet near blade(s).
• Before leaving operator's position, disengage
blade(s), place the shift lever in neutral, engage
parking brake, shut engine off and remove key.
Using Shift Lever
The shift lever is used to regulate the direction of your
rider mower. It can be set at forward, neutral, or reverse
settings. These settings, marked as F, N,and R
respectively, are located next to the shift lever on the
unit. See Figure 7.
• Before you move the shift lever to any of the
positions, depress the brake pedal and stop the
unit. Keep your foot on the brake pedal.
Figure 7
• Move the lever outwards (left) to remove the
locking pin from the lever and slide the lever to the
position desired. Look at the rear and make sure
the path is free of obstacles before positioning the
shift lever to the reverse.
• Do not force the shift lever. If it does not shift,
release the brake pedal slightly to line up the
shifting collar in the transmission, then try to move
the shift lever.
• Slowly release the brake pedal and take your foot
off the pedal. Always make sure that there is no one
in the path of operation of the mower.
Grass Fill Level Indicator
This indicator was designed to add convenience to your
riding mower. While the mower is running, air will flow
through the discharge chute and into the grass catcher.
If the grass catcher is empty, air flows through easily
pushing the ball up. If the grass catcher is full, air does
not flow through it allowing the ball to fall. So if you see
the ball in the grass catcher fill level indicator falling
down, you should stop the mower and empty the bag.
