Safety Interlock Switches
This tractor is equipped with a safety interlock system for the
protection of the operator. If the interlock system should ever
malfunction, do not operate the tractor. Contact an authorized
Troybilt service dealer.
• The safety interlock system prevents the engine from
cranking or starting unless the parking brake is engaged,
and the PTO (Blade Engage) knob is in the disengaged
(OFF) position.
• The engine will automatically shut off if the operator leaves
the seat before engaging the parking brake.
• The engine will automatically shut off if the operator leaves
the tractor's seat with the PTO (Blade Engage) knob in the
engaged (ON) position, regardless of whether the parking
brake is engaged.
• With the ignition key in the NORMAL MOWING position,
the engine will automatically shut off if the PTO (Blade
Engage) knob is moved into the engaged (ON) position
with the drive pedal in Reverse.
