OPERATING THE MOWER

1.25

OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROLS

Cutting Cylinder Drive Lockout: Drive to the cutting cylinders is only possible when the operator is

seated. If the operator raises off the seat for a period of more than one second, a switch is activated and

drive to the cutting cylinders is automatically disengaged. To re-engage drive to the cutting cylinders, the

operator must return to the seat, then operate the cutterhead drive switch to the ‘OFF’ position before

moving it back to the ‘ON’ position. If the operator rises off the seat for a brief moment during normal

work, drive to the cutting cylinders is not affected.

The engine can only be started with the cutterhead drive switch in the ‘OFF’ position.

Engine Start Lockout: The engine can only be started when the forward/reverse travel pedal is released

to the 'NEUTRAL' position, the cutterhead drive switch is in the ‘OFF’ position and the parking brake is

engaged. When these circumstances are satisfied, switches are activated permitting the engine to be start-

ed.

Engine Run Interlock: Once the engine is started the operator must be seated before the parking brake is

released for the engine to continue to run.

With the engine running and the machine moving with the travel pedal depressed, the engine will contin-

ue to run when the operator rises from the seat. If the travel pedal is then allowed to return to neutral the

engine will cut out.
