An ignition interlock module, when installed on an Exmark machine, serves as a safety mechanism designed to prevent unauthorized or unsafe operation. Its primary function is to disable the engine’s starting system unless specific conditions are met. For instance, the operator may need to be seated or engage certain safety levers before the system will allow the mower to start. However, the events that transpire following the initial starting process are also critical to the module’s functionality. The device monitors for continued adherence to safety parameters during operation.
The ongoing monitoring provided by this module offers significant benefits in preventing accidents and ensuring operator safety. Historically, machinery lacking such interlocks were more prone to accidents caused by unintended operation or unsafe practices. These modules contribute to a safer working environment and can reduce liability for owners and operators of Exmark equipment. Their implementation reflects a commitment to operator well-being and adherence to safety standards within the landscaping and groundskeeping industries.
