4.2 SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM

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/or 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/or others or property damage could
result.
