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:
•
To prevent the engine from starting unless the
brake pedal is depressed and the blade
engagement pedal is disengaged;
•
To shut off the engine if the blade pedal is not
disengaged when the shift lever is put into reverse;
and
•
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 riding mower if the
interlock system is malfunctioning.

grass catcher is full, air does
not flow through it allowing the
