READ OPERATOR'S MANUAL
Safety Interlock Switches
This tractor is equipped with a safety interlock system for the
protection of the operator. If the interlock system should ever
malfunction, do not operate the tractor. Contact an authorized
service dealer.
•
•
The safety interlock system prevents the engine from
cranking or starting unless the parking brake is engaged,
and the PTO (Blade Engage) lever is in the disengaged
(OFF) position.
•
The engine will automatically shut off if the operator leaves
the seat before engaging the parking brake.
WARNING!
Do not operate the tractor if the
interlock system is malfunctioning. This system was
designed for your safety and protection.
Starting the Engine
NOTE: Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section of this manual for
Gasoline and Oil fill-up instructions.
1.
1.
Insert the tractor key into the ignition switch module.
2.
Place the PTO (Blade Engage) lever in the disengaged (OFF)
position.
3.
Engage the tractor’s parking brake.
4.
Activate the choke control by moving the throttle/choke
control all the way forward into the choke position.
5.
Turn the ignition key clockwise to the START position.
After the engine starts, release the key. It will return to the
NORMAL MOWING position.
CAUTION:
Do NOT hold the key in the START

so may cause damage to your engine’s electric
starter.

NOTE: Do NOT leave the choke control on while operating the
