SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM

Check Safety Interlock System

Test the safety interlock system at each operation. If the

system does not function properly, do not operate the unit

until repairs are made.

The engine will only start with the PTO disengaged, the

speed control levers in neutral and the parking brake on.

To test:

1. With engine off, set controls as listed in line A of the

table below and try to start the engine.

IMPORTANT: If the system does not function properly, do

not operate the unit until repairs are made.

2. Repeat step 1 for lines B-E of the table.

*Test the left and right operator presence controls

separately.

3. With engine running, set controls as listed in line A of

the table below and check the result.

IMPORTANT: If the system does not function properly, do

not operate the unit until repairs are made.

4. Repeat step 3 for lines B-E of the table.

*Perform this test with PTO properly engaged.

off AND at least one operator presence control is engaged.

trols are released.
