Using the Safety-Interlock
System
CAUTION
If the 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.
Understanding the
Safety-Interlock System
The safety-interlock system prevents the engine from
starting unless:
•
You are sitting on the seat or the parking brake
is engaged.
•
The power takeoff (PTO) is disengaged.
•
The motion-control levers are in the N
position.
•
The engine temperature is below the maximum
operating temperature.
The safety-interlock system also shuts off the
engine when you move the traction controls from
the N - position with the parking brake
EUTRAL LOCK
engaged. If you rise from the seat when the PTO
is engaged, there is a 1-second delay and then the
engine shuts off.
