Husqvarna RZ54i Owners Manual - Page 16

SAFETY Safety System The machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions. The engine can only be started when: • The mower blades are disengaged. • The park brake is on. • The motion control levers are in neutral. After the machine is started, the engine will continue to run for five minutes if the operator leaves the seat after setting the park brake. The blades will be disengaged by the safety system. This allows the operator to leave the machine momentarily to remove obstacles from the mowing path without having to reenter the passcode. Conditions for starting The blade switch light will blink until the blade switch is disengaged. See Ignition System Faults in the Operation section. When the operator returns to the seat, the blade switch will need to be reset (pushed down, pulled up ) to re-engage the blades. Blade switch fault light If the park brake is not engaged before the operator leaves the seat, the engine and blades will shut down and the blade switch and park brake lights will blink, signalling a safety system fault. 8058-241 8058-238 Park brake and blade switch fault lights 8058-243 16
