The Safety Interlock System 5. Without an operator on the seat, disengage the parking brake, move the PTO switch to off, and allow the traction pedal to return to the neutral position. Try starting the engine; the engine should not crank. CAUTION If the safety interlock switches are disconnected or damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly causing personal injury. • Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
Check the electrical connections, input fuses, and diagnostic light bulb to determine the malfunction. Ensure that the loop-back connector is secured to the wire harness connector. Diagnostic Ace Display The machine is equipped with an electronic controller which controls most machine functions. The controller determines what function is required for various input switches (i.e. seat switch, key switch, etc.) and turns on the outputs to actuate solenoids or relays for the requested machine function.
If the output LEDs are on as specified, but the machine does not function properly, this indicates a non-electrical problem. Repair as necessary. The Diagnostic ACE will illuminate the LED associated with each of the inputs when that input switch is closed. 7. Individually, change each of the switches from open to closed (i.e., sit on seat, engage traction pedal, etc.), and note that the appropriate LED on Diagnostic ACE will blink on and off when corresponding switch is closed.
