Folding The Roll Bar - Toro LT-F3000 Operator's Manual

Engine Run Interlock: Once the engine is started
the operator must be seated before the parking brake
is disengaged for the engine to continue to run.
Cutting Unit Drive Lockout: The drive to the cutting
units is only possible when the operator is seated. If
the operator raises off the seat for a period of more
than one second, a switch is activated and the drive
to the cutting units is automatically disengaged. To
engage the drive to the cutting units, the operator
must return to the seat, then operate the cutting unit
drive switch to the Off position before moving it back
to the On position. If the operator rises off the seat
for a brief moment during normal work, drive to the
cutting units is not affected.
The engine can only be started with the cutting unit
drive switch in the Off position.
WARNING
Do not operate the turf mower if the operator
presence controls are malfunctioning in any
way. Always replace damaged or worn parts
and check that they function correctly before
operating the machine.
CAUTION
If safety interlock switches are disconnected
or damaged the machine could operate
unexpectedly causing personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock
switches daily and replace any damaged
switches before operating the machine.
