Your unit is equipped with a seat switch safety sys-
tem. Check the seat switch operation every fall and
spring with the following tests.
Test 1 — Engine should NOT crank if:
• PTO switch is ON, OR
• Brake pedal is NOT fully depressed (parking
brake OFF).
Test 2 — Engine SHOULD crank if:
• PTO switch is OFF, AND
• Brake pedal is fully depressed
(parking brake ON).
Test 3 — Engine should SHUT OFF if:
• Operator rises off seat with PTO engaged, OR
• Operator rises off seat with brake pedal NOT
fully depressed (parking brake OFF).
Test 4 — Blade Brake Check
Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to
a complete stop within five seconds after electric
PTO switch is turned OFF (or operator rises off

seconds, readjust the PTO clutch as described in
the ADJUSTMENTS section or see your dealer.

switch must be turned off after the operator returns
to the seat in order to start the engine.
