Your lawn mower is equipped with an operator presence control (OPC). The engine will not start unless the OPC is pulled rearward. The engine and blade will stop turning when the OPC is released.

CAUTION:

Federal regulations require an engine control to be installed on this lawn mower in order to minimize the risk of blade contact injury. DO NOT under any circumstances attempt to defeat the function of the operator control. The blade turns when the engine is running.
