The safety interlock system prevents the engine from
cranking or starting unless the single brake pedal is
fully depressed, and the PTO switch is in the "OFF"
position.
The safety interlock system will automatically shut off
the engine if the operator leaves the seat before
engaging the single pedal brake lock.
The safety interlock system will automatically disen­
gage the PTO if the operator leaves the seat with the
PTO in the "RUN" position, or the unit is shifted into
reverse with the PTO in the "RUN" position. To reen­
gage the PTO. place the speed control lever in neutral
("N"), move the PTO switch into the "OFF" position
and then engage the PTO while seated.

fuel tank filler cap is located on the left rear fender.

tom (left and right sides) of the tank. These valves
control the flow of fuel to the engine. To open the
valves turn the knobs counterclockwise until they stop.
