1.1 OPERATING SAFETY ______________________________________________________
1. Safety is dependent upon the awareness, concern,
and prudence of those who operate or service the
equipment. Never allow minors to operate any
equipment.
2. It is your responsibility to read this manual and all
publications associated with this equipment (Safety &
Operation Manual, Engine Manual, and attachments/
accessories instruction sheets). If the operator
cannot read English it is the owner’s responsibility to
explain the material contained in this manual to
them.
3. Learn the proper use of the machine, the location and
purpose of all the controls and gauges before you
operate the equipment. Working with unfamiliar
equipment can lead to accidents.
4. Never allow anyone to operate or service the machine
or its attachments without proper training and
instructions, or while under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
5. Wear all the necessary protective clothing and personal
safety devices to protect your head, eyes, ears, hands,
and feet. Operate the machine only in daylight or in
good artificial light.
6. Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and
attachments are needed to properly and safely perform
the job. Only use accessories and attachments
approved by Jacobsen.
7. Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden
hazards.
8. Inspect the area where the equipment will be used. Pick
up all the debris you can find before operating. Beware
of overhead obstructions (low tree limbs, electrical
wires, etc.) and also underground obstacles (sprinklers,
pipes, tree roots, etc.). Enter a new area cautiously.
Stay alert for hidden hazards.
9. Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders,
nor allow anyone near the machine while in operation.
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for
injuries inflicted to themselves, to bystanders, and
damage to property.
10. Do not carry passengers. Keep bystanders and pets a
safe distance away.
11. Never operate equipment that is not in perfect working
order or is without decals, guards, shields, discharge
deflectors, or other protective devices securely fastened
in place.
12. Never disconnect or bypass any switch.
13. Do not change the engine governor setting or
overspeed the engine.
14. Carbon monoxide in the exhaust fumes can be fatal

5.2 Interlock System __________________________________________________________
1. The Interlock System prevents the engine from
starting unless the parking brake is Engaged, the
traction pedal is in Neutral, and the power take-off
switch is OFF. The system also stops the engine if
the operator leaves the seat with the power take-off
switch ON, traction pedal out of Neutral, or parking
brake Disengaged.
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:
the engine does not start in test 1;
the engine does start during tests 2,3 or 4;
the engine continues to run during tests 5 or 6.
3. Refer to the chart below for each test and follow the
check () 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 power take-
off switch is OFF. The engine should start.
Test 2: The engine must not start if the power take-
off switch is ON.
Test 3: The engine must not start if the parking brake
is Disengaged.
Test 4: The engine must not start if the traction pedal
is pressed.
Test 5: Start the engine in the normal manner then
turn power take-off switch ON and lift your weight off
