sure the interlock system operates correctly.
CAUTION
The interlock switches are for the operator's
protection, so do not disconnect them. Check
switch operation daily to assure the interlock
system is operating. If a switch is defective,
replace it before operating. Regardless of whether
the switches are operating properly, replace them
every two years to assure maximum safety. Do
not rely entirely on safety switches—use common
sense!
1. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, move
the shift selector to neutral, remove your foot
from the traction pedal and make sure the pedal
is in neutral, and depress the lift pedal and
release it. Try to start the engine. The engine
should crank and run, which means the interlock
system is operating correctly. If the engine did
not crank, go to step 2. If the engine cranked,
contact your local TORO dealer for assistance.
2. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake and
depress the lift pedal fully and release it. Move
the shift selector to the #1 and #2 positions while
trying to start the engine in each position. The

TORO dealer for assistance.
3. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake, depress
the lift pedal and release it. Move the shift
selector to Neutral and try to start the engine.
The engine should start and continue to run,
which means the traction switch and the mow/lift
switch on valve bank are operating correctly—go
to step 4. If the engine cranked but did not start,
the problem is not in the interlock system. If the
engine did not crank, contact your local TORO
dealer for assistance.
4. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake and
move the shift selector to neutral. Depress the
mow pedal and try to start the engine. The
engine should not crank, which means the mow-
lift switch is operating correctly. If the engine
did not crank, go to step 5. If the engine
cranked, ask your local TORO dealer for
assistance.

5. Sit on the seat, move the shift selector to neutral,
depress the lift pedal and release it. Start the
engine and depress the mow pedal. Carefully
rise off the seat; the engine should stop. If the
engine stops, the interlock system is operating
correctly. If the engine does not stop, stop the
engine and find the problem before operating the
machine again. If you need assistance, contact
your local TORO distributor.
6. Sit on the seat, move the traction shift selector to
neutral, fully depress the lift pedal and release it.
Start the engine and drive to an open area that is
free of debris and foreign objects. Keep all
people, especially children, away from the front
of the machine and out of the area of operation.
Move the shift selector to neutral, make sure the
mow pedal is disengaged, set the throttle control
at half speed and engage the parking brake. (Do
not engage the parking brake button.) Hold the
steering wheel, brace your feet on the foot deck
and brake pedal, and move the shift selector to
the #1 position. Carefully rise off the seat; the
engine should stop. If the engine stops, the
interlock system is operating correctly.
7. Repeat this check with the shift selector in the #2
position. If the engine does not stop, stop the
engine and find the problem before operating the
machine. If you need assistance, contact your
local TORO dealer.
