  • / Ariens Zoom 34 shut-off by seat-safety requires drive hyd-bypass play to start
If my Zero-Turn 14.5HP B&S 2016 ZOOM 34 is shut-off by unloading from the seat (safety-shutoff) it can not be restarted until I lock-in/out and release the Hydro Drive Bypass rods. Frustrating as heck because I then have to get down on knees in close quarters and try to find/see the two finger-ring L&R rods that normally allow hand moving the mower by pushing.
The only thing I figure is somehow shutting off the mower while it's rolling perhaps builds pressure in the zero-turn hyd drives that must engage a no-start in the mowers wiring circuit. It will make a noise like the solenoid is operating but it will not crank.

I have a feeling if the get-off the seat safety shut-down were by-passed this locked-in safety-off pain would go away.
