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

12. 
the engine to cool for several minutes before adding 
fuel. Never fuel indoors or inside enclosed trailers.

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
