Toro GREENSMASTER 3100 Operator's Manual page 17

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 maxi-
mum safety. Do not rely entirely on safety
switches—use common sense!
1. 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. Rise off the seat and try to start
the engine. The engine should not crank, 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 assis-
tance.
2. Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake and depress
the lift pedal fully and release it. Move the shift selec-
tor to the #1 and #2 positions while trying to start the
engine in each position. The engine should not crank,
which means the traction switch on the valve bank is
operating correctly. If the engine did not crank, go to
step 3. If the engine cranked, contact your local 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 oper-
ating 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 correct-
ly. If the engine did not crank, go to step 5. If the
engine cranked, ask your local TORO dealer for assis-
tance.
5. Sit on the seat, move the shift selector to Neutral,
depress the lift pedal and release it. Start the engine
and drive to an open area that is free of debris and for-
