Interlock safety switches are located under the right
hand fender, the PTO switch and seat.
The safety starting switches, activated by the gear shift
lever (1215 Tractor) or the speed control lever (1220
Tractor) and the PTO switch, serve to prevent starting
the engine accidentally. The gear shift lever (1215 Trac-
tor) or the speed control lever (1220 Tractor) must be
in neutral ("N") and the PTO switch in the "OFF"
position before engine will start.
When using PTO operated equipment, the operator
must remain seated at all times. If the operator should
leave the tractor seat without turning off the PTO
switch, the engine will automatically shut off. In addi¬
tion, the PTO switch must be in the "OFF" position
when shifting the tractor into reverse or the PTO will
automatically disengage. To re-engage the PTO, shift
into neutral ("N"), move PTO switch into the "OFF"
position and then reactivate PTO while seated.
