Operator presence seat switch: Sit on the operator seat and start the engine. Lower the cutterheads to the
ground and engage the cutter drive in the forward direction. Rise from the operators seat and check that the
cutting cylinders come to a stop after an initial 0.5 to 1 second delay. Repeat with the cutting cylinders run-
ning in reverse.
Cutter drive interlock switch: Stop the mower engine. Operate the cutter drive switch to the 'off'
position and turn the ignition key to position 'I'. The cutterhead drive switch indicator light should
illuminate. Refer to OPERATING THE MOWER.
Operate the switch to the 'forward' position. The indicator light should go out and the engine should not
start when the ignition key is turned. Repeat for the 'reverse' position.
Parking brake interlock switch: Stop the engine. Engage the parking brake and turn the ignition key to
position 'I'. The parking brake indicator light should illuminate. Refer to OPERATING THE MOWER.

Transmission neutral interlock switch: Stop the mower engine and remove the foot from the forward/
reverse travel pedals. Turn the ignition key to position 'I' and the transmission neutral indicator light should
illuminate. Application of light pedal pressure in a forward and reverse direction should cause the indicator
light to go out. Take extreme care to ensure that the area around the mower is clear before checking that the
engine will not start under this condition.
