Lever has a bit of wiggle room in it and it can be in off position but not properly "mashing down" the blade off safety switch. Have not tried to bypass this...anyone ideas?</em><br /><br /> <strong style="font-weight: bold;">Latest post, made on 2009-07-01 17:25:55</strong><br /> I discovered that the blade engage lever must press down a button underneath when in off position to allow mower to start, switch to reverse gear.

Happened twice in three years of moderate use. Safety switches require disengage blades each time to reverse...wonder if others have this problem?</em><br /><br /> <strong style="font-weight: bold;">Latest post, made on 2009-07-01 17:20:51</strong><br /> If you find yourself engaging the mower blades and all of a sudden the lever has no resistance or it suddenly disengages...your deck cable has broken.
