4.2 SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
The mower is equipped with a safety interlock system
that prevents the engine from starting unless the deck
drive is disengaged, the parking brake is engaged and the
speed control lever is in the neutral position. With the
use of "Sensogrip Technology", the interlock system shuts
off the engine if the operator removes both hands from the
steering control with the speed control not in the neutral
position, the cutter blades engaged and/or the parking
brake not engaged.
WARNING:
Never operate the mower with the interlock system
disconnected or malfunctioning. Do not disengage
or bypass any switch; injury to yourself and others
or property damage could result.

IMPORTANT-
The grips on the steering control handle sense
the presence of the operators hand using
"Sensogrip Technology". When using thick
gloves, more hand contact to the steering control
handle may be required.
