The Exmark ignition interlock system is a safety mechanism integrated into some Exmark mowers. Its primary function is to prevent unauthorized or unintended operation of the machine. It achieves this by requiring specific conditions to be met before the engine can be started. For example, the operator presence system, consisting of seat and parking brake switches, must be engaged in the correct sequence to enable ignition.
This safety measure is essential for minimizing the risk of accidents. It helps to ensure that the mower is only operated by authorized personnel who are seated and have properly engaged the parking brake. This prevents accidental starting, movement, and potential injury, especially in environments with children or untrained individuals present. The interlock system contributes to a safer work environment and helps protect against liability.
