OPERATION Operator Presence Control (988105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 113) WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand the entire Safety section before proceeding. The operator presence control lever must be depressed to operate the PTO. When the speed control levers are in forward position, the parking brake is off, or the PTO is engaged, releasing the operator presence control lever stops the engine. NOTE: Moving the speed control levers out of neutral with the parking brake engaged will shut down the engine. PTO must be off and parking brake must be on to keep engine running when operator presence control is released. CONTROLS AND FEATURES Safety Interlock System DANGER: SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM FAILURE and improper operation of unit can result in death or serious injury. ALWAYS know the safety interlock system is operating properly. See Check Safety Interlock System on page 17 for testing instructions. Operator Presence Control (988116, 117, 120, 314) The engine will only start with the PTO disengaged, the speed control levers in neutral and the parking brake on. The operator presence control levers must be depressed to operate the PTO. When the PTO is engaged, releasing the operator presence control levers stops the mower blades. GB - 10 Throttle Lever CAUTION: AVOID INJURY. Operate only when operator presence control is functioning correctly. See Check Safety Interlock System on page 17 for testing instructions.
