Stand setting
The unit is equipped with a stand to raise the unit’s drive
roller off the ground to allow the unit to be worked on or the
optional transport wheels to be installed.
To raise the machine (Fig. 3-7):
1. Park the unit on a flat, level surface, shut off engine and
set the brakes.
2. Place both hands on the machine’s handles and one foot
on the stand.
3. Push the stand down, with one foot, until it contacts the
ground.
NOTE: Make sure to keep pressure on the stand as it can
spring back and hit the operator’s foot or leg.
4. While holding the stand in place, pull back on the handles
until the machine pivots up and back onto the stand. The
machine will then be supported by the stand and the front
roller.
5. Place a block in front of the front roller to prevent the
machine from moving forward and releasing the stand.
To lower the machine (Fig. 3-7):
1. Place both hands on the machine’s handles and one foot

The stand will release. Do not release pressure from
the stand until the stand is fully raised to prevent
injury to the operator’s foot or leg.

Safety Interlock circuit operation
The safety interlock system on this machine does not allow
the engine to be started when the traction drive is engaged. This
system must be checked daily to make sure it is working
properly.
1. Park the machine on level ground and pull it up on the
stand to keep the traction drive drum (and wheels if
equipped) raised off the ground.
2. Make sure the park brake is disengaged.
3. Engage the traction drive lever. Set the ignition switch to
the run position.
4. Try to start the engine. The engine should NOT start. If
the engine starts, then the safety interlock switch needs to
be checked to make sure it is adjusted properly or the
