Common solutions for: Husqvarna Lawn mower blades won't engage

01 - PTO Clutch

The PTO (Power Take Off) clutch provides a means of manually disconnecting the engine from the blades. When the clutch solenoid is energized, the clutch engages the drive belt to drive the rotation of the lawn mower blades. If the PTO clutch is not getting power, if the clutch solenoid is defective, or if the clutch is worn out, the lawn mower blades will not engage. The PTO clutch is not repairable-if the clutch is defective, you must replace it.

02 - PTO Switch

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.

Taking care of your property can be rewarding but also frustrating. Every homeowner wants their property to be spectacular and be the talk of the town. However, overgrown grass, littered gutters, accumulated dirt on the roof, and other things paint a terrible picture of your property. The Husqvarna riding mower can help you take care of the lawn, but there are times when the blades won't turn on.

If your Husqvarna riding mower blades don't engage, you need to check the PTO switch, drive belts, frozen pulley, and make sure the battery is charged. Moreover, you can also check to see if the blade clutch is working correctly and the safety switch is off.

When you have a short time to take care of your grass, it might not be very enjoyable when you turn on your mower, and the blades on your mower don't do anything. This problem can easily transform the easy job of a typical day into a spontaneous and unwarranted repair session. We'll walk you through how to troubleshoot your mower so that you can get your blades situated.
