SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEMS 3-1.1 There are two basic electric wiring systems used: one for battery start models and one for recoil start models. All safety systems used are based on the same principle. 3 3-1.2 Most riders and tractors produced in 1982 were equipped with a reverse safety switch. This safety system required the cutting deck to be disengaged before the unit can be shifted into reverse gear. These systems will be used on all current production units. 3-1.3 The lift and disengagement lever is used to raise and lower the cutting deck which deter- mines the cutting height. Pulling it all the way back and locking it disengages the blades. The lift and disengagement lever MUST be in the disengaged position when starting the engine, when shifting into reverse or if the operator leaves the seat. 3-1.4 All lawn and garden tractors produced after July, 1987 were requested by ANSI (Amer
