UnderstandingtheSafetyInterlock System
WARNING
Ifsafetyinterlockswitchesaredisconnectedor damagedthemachinecouldoperateunexpectedly causingpersonalinjury.
•Donottamperwiththeinterlockswitches.
•Checktheoperationoftheinterlockswitches dailyandreplaceanydamagedswitchesbefore operatingthemachine.
Thesafetyinterlocksystemisdesignedtopreventtheengine fromstartingunless:

Thesafetyinterlocksystemalsoisdesignedtostoptheengine wheneverthecontrolleversareoutoftheparkpositionand yourisefromtheseat.
BeforeStarting
AddingFuel
•Forbestresults,useonlyclean,fresh(lessthan30days
