Testing PTO Switch

The mower blades should stop in approximately five seconds when the mower or PTO is disengaged.

If you believe that your blades may not be stopping in that time, take your machine to your authorized dealer. There they can safely check and service your machine.

Engaging the Brake pedal will no longer stop the PTO.
