Refer to your Operator’s Manual for the correct procedure to check the safety-interlock system.

Test the safety-interlock system before you use the machine each time. If the safety system does not operate as described in your Operator’s Manual, have an Authorized Service Dealer repair the safety system immediately.

The seat can move forward and backward. Position the seat where you have the best control of the machine and are most comfortable (Figure 9).
