Read Operator's Manual Safety Interlock Switches This riding mower is equipped with a safety interlock system for the protection of the operator. If the interlock system should ever malfunction, do not operate the riding mower. Contact an authorized service dealer. • The safety interlock system prevents the engine from cranking or starting unless the parking brake is engaged, and the PTO lever is in the disengaged (OFF) position. • The engine will automatically shut OFF if the operator leaves the seat before engaging the parking brake. • The engine will automatically shut OFF if the operator leaves the riding mower's seat with the PTO lever in the engaged (ON) position, regardless of whether the parking brake is engaged. • With the ignition key in the NORMAL MOWING MODE/RUN position, the PTO will automatically shut OFF if the PTO lever is moved into the engaged (ON) position with the shift lever in position for reverse travel. • The engine will automatically shut OFF if the mulch plug, deck chute or bagger chute is removed, regardless of whether the parking brake is engaged or the PTO lever is in the disengaged (OFF) position.
