The mower has a safety
interlock system which prevents the engine from cranking or starting unless the parking brake is engaged, and thePTO 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 tractor’s seat with the PTO lever in the
engaged (ON) position, regardless of whether the
parking brake is engaged.
• The engine will automatically shut off if the PTO
lever is moved into the engaged (ON) position with
the shift lever in position for reverse travel.
erhaps the interlock switch is faulty.
