Lawn mower blades won't engage

The PTO switch provides power to the PTO clutch. If the switch is defective, it may not supply power to the PTO clutch. As a result, the clutch won’t engage, and the lawn mower blades won’t rotate. To determine if the switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the PTO switch is defective, replace it.
