Safety Interlock System

Perform the following tests to ensure the
safety interlock system is working properly. If
the unit does not perform as stated, contact
your Ariens dealer for repairs.

NOTE: When the parking brake is engaged,
the steering levers are locked in neutral.

Parking Brake Interlock System

With the parking brake engaged, the steering
levers must be locked in neutral.

With the parking brake disengaged, the
engine must not start and the engine must
shut off if the operator leaves the seat.

The steering levers control speed and
direction. In addition, they will stop the unit.

A. For reverse travel, pull both steering

control levers backward.

steering control levers forward.

C. To turn left, pull the left back or push

the right steering control lever forward
or a combination of both.

NOTE: The steering controls are
mechanically locked in neutral whenever the

damage lawns. ALWAYS keep both wheels
rotating when making sharp turns. DO NOT
make turns with inside wheel completely
stopped. To obtain minimum turning radius,
