OPERATION
SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
See Figure 8.
This mower features a Safety Interlock System to protect the
operator by shutting off the blades if the operator leaves the
seat with the blades running. Test the system before each
use to be sure it is working correctly.
To test:
 Position the mower on a level surface.
 Set the parking brake.
 Make sure joystick is in the neutral position and the blade
engage knob is down.
 Install start key and turn to ON position.
 Raise blade engage knob to activate blades.
 Briefly lift off the seat, but do not get off the mower.
The blades should shut off within 5 seconds. If they don't,
contact customer service. Do not operate the mower until
the safety interlock system has been repaired.
