The Safety Interlock System
CAUTION
If the safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly
and cause personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
• Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
Understanding the Safety Interlock
System

•
The engine temperature is below the maximum operating
temperature.
The safety interlock system also is designed to shut off the
engine when the traction pedal moves from the N
position with the parking brake set. If you rise from the seat
when the PTO is engaged there is a 1-second delay and then
the engine stops.
