Testing Attachment Engagement Switch or Lever

The mower blades should stop in approximately five seconds when the mower or PTO is disengaged.

If you believe that your blades may not be stopping in that period of time, take your machine to your authorized dealer where they can safely check and service your machine.

1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY Section.)

2. Sit on seat.

3. Lock the park brake.

4. Engage mower:

   • On models with electric attachment engagement switch, pull switch up.
   • On models with mechanical attachment engagement lever, push lever forward.
   
   

5. Try to start engine.

Result: Engine must not start. If engine starts, there is a problem with your safety interlock circuit.
