Verify Interlock System Operation

CAUTION
The interlock switches are for the operator's
protection; do not disconnect them. Check the
operation of the switches daily to assure the in-
terlock system is operating. If a switch is defec-
tive, replace it before operating the machine.
The purposes of the interlock system are to:
A. Prevent the engine from cranking or starting un-
less the functional control lever is in NEUTRAL.
B. Prevent operating the traction pedal with the
functional control lever in NEUTRAL.
C. Prevent operating the traction pedal with the
parking brake engaged.
D. Shut off the engine if the operator leaves the seat
without the functional control lever in NEUTRAL.
E. Shut off the cutting reels if the functional control
lever is moved to NEUTRAL or TRANSPORT.
Interlock Switch Verification

functional control lever to NEUTRAL. Try to depress
traction pedal. If the pedal does not depress, the inter-
lock system is operating correctly. Correct problem if not
operating properly.
