NTERLOCKS

This

tractor

is

equipped

with

a

safety

interlock

system

for

the

protection

of

the

operator.

If

the

interlock

sys¬

tem

should

ever

malfunction,

do

not

operate

the

trac¬

tor.

Contact

your

authorized

Cub

Cadet

dealer.

The

purpose

of

the

safety

interlock

system

is

to

prevent

the

engine

from

cranking

or

starting

unless

the

gear

shift

lever

(1415

Tractor)

or

speed

control

lever

(1420

Tractor)

is

in

the

neutral

("N")

position,

the

PTO

switch

is

in

the

"OFF”

position

and

the

operator

is

seated.

If

the

operator

leaves

the

seat

when

the

PTO

is

on,

or

the

unit

is

shifted

into

reverse

when

the

PTO

is

on,

the

PTO

will

automatically

disengage.

To

re-engage

the

PTO,

shift

into

neutral

("N"),

move

PTO

switch

into

the

"OFF"

position,
