The ignition switch starts and stops the engine; it has
three positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.

electrical system.

tion with the engine stopped. This drains the battery.

not running.

gages the mower deck. To turn the mower on, pull the

sions so that the unit can be pushed by hand. See

tion.
