My HRM 215 MOWER HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTO STOP SLOWING DOWN IN THICK GRASS.I WAS WONDERING IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO DISABLE THE ROTO STOP TO ENABLE THE MOWER TO BE ENGAGED ALL THE TIME.AS I ALSO HAVE A 216 SELF PROPELLED WITH RUNS ALL THE TIME.THIS MIGHT BE IMPOSSIBLE BOTH SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE.OPEN TO ALL SUGGESTIONS (SAFETY FIRST)
Thanks

On the back of the top rear of the HRM215's mower deck is a serial number in the form of "MXXX-1234567" and if you'll share that with me, I can look up specific service details for that mower. You are smart to keep safety first, and for that reason, you would not want to disable the Roto-Stop since this would allow the blades to continue spinning all the time and there's no operator presence lever to shut down the engine/blades when you step away from behind the handlebar.
Next, you say the 216 mower "runs all the time" so I assume it is a flywheel-brake style, where you DO have an operator presence (blade control) lever that shuts down the engine when you let go of the lever...is that right?
