disengaged, the parking brake is on, the steering 
control levers are in the neutral position and the

engine if the operator leaves the seat with the deck 
drive engaged and/or the steering control levers 
are  not  in  the  neutral  position  and  the  parking 
brake is not engaged. Never operate equipment 
with  the  interlock  system  disconnected  or 
malfunctioning.
Be sure the interlock switches are functioning

the engine to cool for several minutes before adding 
fuel. Never fuel indoors or inside enclosed trailers.
Keep flammable objects (cigarettes, matches, etc.), 
13. 
open flames and sparks away from the fuel tank and 
fuel container. Use only approved containers.

If the machine can back up the slope without the 
wheels slipping, reduce speed and use extreme 
caution.  Under  no  circumstances  should  the 
machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 
degrees.  ALWAYS  FOLLOW  OSHA  APPROvED
