CC 2160 starting problems

[srmitchell]

Sorry, it's a 2130. I was trying to start my mower and it wouldn't start for some reason. I turned the key off and checked the engine. When I went to start it back up-nothing. The key turned but it didn't turn over. Checked what I thought were the usual culprits-battery charge, leads going to the terminals, brake engaged, etc. Two questions here-1) where is the cut off switch for the seat and 2) what else could cause this?

the cut off for the seat is built into the bottom of the seat it self just flip it up it should be a gray piece with two yellow wires going into it just unhook them and try to see if it will start. other things it could be is make sure the pto switch isn't in the on position, and check to see if the brake pedal switch is working right and still attached mine came out once and took me a while to trace that one down. let me know if this helps you out.
