Set the parking brake.
Make sure drive levers are in the neutral position and the
blade engage knob is down.
Install start key and turn to ON position.
Raise blade engage knob to activate blades.
Briefly lift off the seat, but do not get off the mower.
The blades should shut off within 5 seconds. If they don’t,
verify you connected the safety interlock cable as described
on page 6. If the cable is connected but the system still
doesn’t function, contact customer service. Do not oper-
ate the mower until the safety interlock system has been
repaired.
