This machine is equipped with an interlock system
intended to protect the operator and others from
injury. This is accomplished by preventing the
engine from starting unless the deck drive is
disengaged, the parking brake is on, and the speed
adjustment lever is in the neutral position. The
system shuts off the engine if the operator releases
the operator presence levers with the deck drive
engaged and/or the speed adjustment lever not in
the neutral position, or the parking brake
disengaged. Never operate equipment with the
interlock system disconnected or malfunctioning.
