Interesting.
You have 2 functioning hands and can manage to stuff some twigs in a seat switch.
Monkeys can do that so you have at least the interlect of one of them
However you are too bone lazy to reach down with just one of those functioning hands & apply the parking brake which is put there so you can get on & off the mower safely when the engine is running.
Obviously you are interlectually deficient so could not either read not understand the operating manual for you mower which has instructions for safely getting off your mower which is interesting as you obviously did manage to read the operators manual for your video camera , or did you get another baboon to show you how?
Then to prove how "Smart" you are you make a video so other brain dead morons with no respect for the safety of both themselves , their family or passers by can emulate your magnificant discovery and STRIKE A BLOW FOR FREEDOM by circumventing something that was put there for your own good.
I really hope you get what you deserve, and by preferance you end up with your feet cut off at the neck because that would get rid of your useless head .

There is only one safety feature on a ride on that actually does protect the operator & the surrounding people and you think you are so smart that you not only defeat it but then go on to publish this so every other idiot moron who does not have the understanding of how the mower works can do the same.

The only reason that seat switch is there is because some one was seriously injured and because the USA legal system is so screwed up in place of this idiot being castrated so he could not breed more idiot bastards or teach his children to be irresponsible fools he sued the mower makers for a bucket load of money.
Ever wondered why newer mowers have a host of complicated relays and very expensive interlock modules ?
Well the answer is the idiot staring at you in the mirror.

thanks lol...lighten up buddy...my dealer only gave me the owners manual for the kawasaki engine only...i'm still waiting for them to get me the mower owners manual cause i'm not printing it out and wasting $70 of printer ink...also that video is not mine...just found it on the internet...no way in hell i'm wasting my time making a video for youtube for anything...i've just had to do something similar on an older riding mower i've used cause even when you put on the parking brake when you get off the seat it still shuts down...was always easier to disable that feature and disengage the blades and get off on flat ground with the motor running...but if the parking brake keeps the motor running when i get off i will be plugging the seat switch back in and use the brake...was just looking for a way to pull up to a gate get off with it running get back on pull through the gate get back off with it running and shut the gate and get back on...not like i'm walking away from it to make a sandwich while it's sitting on a hill with the blades spinning with a bunch of puppies and kids at the bottom...but anyway have a good one :laughing:

Disableing a seat switch is ILLEGAL although I doubt any mower owner has ever been jailed for it, but down here service people who do it cop a $ 2000 fine

Posting things with facilitate illegal actions is also in contradiction of forum rules.

If the post makes just on person think twice before doing a stupid & in most cases totally unnecessary modification to their mower then it is worthwhile.

Generally I simply bypass threads requesting how to dissable safety switches and did so on this one till the video was posted.
I am not a believer in the nanny state and personnaly would preffer it if most safety features designed to prevent the careless & stupid doing SELF HARM were removed.
Lots of people walking around missing a few finger, hand, arm , leg etc are much better in reinforcing the fact that tools like mowers are dangerous & not toys than 50 pages of drivel in the front of a book that no one reads in any case.

The exception to this are things that prevent the idiots from doing injury to others like SEAT SWITCHES on mowers, cars than can not be started unless they are out of gear & parking brake applied.


When Rotary mowers became popular down here, the local best seller was nick named the "Toe Cutter" because the blades were lower than the base so you could pull it back over your foot.
Thus most men wore their work boots when they mowed, Then the deep dish decks became manditory and down here the decks must be 1" lower than the blades so if you walk around the burbs any weekend, near1/2 the idiots are mowing in thongs or sandals and the most common injury in casulty on summer weekends are lasserated toes from lawn mowers

Did this on my father in law's Deere with a hose clamp around the switch pressing in on the button deal. When he started getting ditzy I undid this work-around for his safety. When he turned it over mowing the ditch that everyone kept telling him to stay away from I was kind of glad I did that. Then he and his wife got their Buick out, tied a rope around the trunk latch and pulled the mower out, and destroyed the back end of the Buick. Lawn service started the next week. If you are mowing an area and the seat switch is shutting down the motor I'd suggest leaving it alone.

This is the USA not Australia and you can do what ever you want on your personal mower and the mower police could care less. Disabling a seat switch isn't a illegal action on your own mower in our country so it has nothing to do with forum rules. Now calling a fellow forum member a idiot isn't the right thing to do just because you don't agree with them. I don't always agree with you but will never call you names over it like some child would. We want more members so don't try to drive them away. When a customer comes into my shop I don't encourage removing any safety equipment or switches but will do so if that is what I am paid to do and the customer understands this.

No worries I have thick skin...I also find it comical when people insult others over the internet anyway...lawn mower police :laughing: they carry the same authority as the grammar police, the midnight snack police, the Netflix password sharing police and the toilet seat police
