--------------- END SUPPLEMENT ---------------

The implement control systems on the machines listed have a built in safety feature which requires the implement control levers to be centered (in the neutral position) before the machine is allowed to start. Although the implement control levers generally return to the center position, it is possible that debris, damaged internal components, or other factors may inhibit return to center. These variables could cause the control levers to be out of position enough to activate the starter lock-out safety feature of the machine.

If this implement control safety feature is suspected as a cause for the machine not to start, inspect the implement controls for debris, damaged internal components, or improper adjustment (position sensor binding).
