is described in the Traction Unit Operator’s Manual and
in the Component Testing section of this Chapter.
The interlock system used on your Reelmaster includes
the seat switch, the traction neutral switch, the parking
brake switch, the cutting unit up limit switch, the mow/
transport switch, the PTO switch and two (2) cutting unit
backlap switches. Testing of individual interlock
switches is included in the Component Testing section
of this Chapter.
NOTE: Use the Diagnostic Display (see Special Tools
in this chapter) to test Electronic Control Module inputs
and outputs before further troubleshooting of an electri-
cal problem on your Reelmaster.
