3.15 INTERLOCK SYSTEM ______________________________________________________
1. The Interlock System prevents the engine from
starting unless the parking brake is engaged, traction
pedal is in Neutral, and the PTO switch is OFF. The
system also stops the engine if the operator leaves
the seat with the parking brake disengaged, PTO
switch ON, or traction pedal out of Neutral.
2. Perform each of the following tests to insure the
Interlock system is functioning properly. Stop the
test and have the system inspected and repaired if
any of the tests fail as listed below:
l the engine does not start in test 1;
l the engine does start during tests 2, 3, or 4;
l the engine continues to run during tests 5 or 6.
3. Refer to the chart below for each test and follow the
check (4) marks across the chart. Shut engine off
between each test.
Test 1: Represents normal starting procedure. The
operator is seated, parking brake is engaged, the
operator’s feet are off the pedals, and the PTO switch
is OFF. The engine should start.
Test 2: The engine must not start if the PTO switch is
ON.
Test 3: The engine must not start if the traction pedal
is pressed.
Test 4: The engine must not start if the parking brake
is disengaged.
Test 5:
Start the engine in the normal manner then
turn PTO switch ON and lift your weight off the seat. H
Test 6: Start the engine in the normal manner then
with parking brake engaged, slightly press the
traction pedal. Lift your weight off the seat. HH
