Traction drive system starting
The mower’s safety start interlock system is also designed to
protect the operator and others from accidental injury due to
unintentional traction drive system starting. The traction drive
system will not engage until:
A. Steering control levers are in the park brake position.
B. Deck clutch switch is in the down (OFF) position.
WARNING: The safety interlock system must not be
disconnected or bypassed. Doing so could cause the
machine to operate unexpectedly resulting in personal
injury.
NOTE: The operator’s seat is equipped with a separate
safety switch. If for any reason the operator should become
unseated when the steering control levers are not in the park
brake position (park brake switches are disengaged) or the deck
clutch switch is engaged the traction drive system will stop.
The following steps are the correct procedures for starting the
traction drive system. If difficulty is encountered, contact the
Hustler
®
