SERVICE BULLETIN 118 INFORMATIONAL SUBJECT: Safety Switches Installed in Starter and/or Ignition Circuit MODELS OR TYPES AFFECTED: All Tecumseh Engines Because of safety regulations for lawn and garden equipment, most manufacturers are incorporating some type of safety switch in their designs to prevent the operator from starting the engine if the unit is in gear and/or the mower blade or other attachment is engaged. Methods and circuitry vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but the following are basic methods most usually found. 1. A switch installed so the transmission or transaxle must be in a neutral position before the engine can be started. This can be wired in the starter circuit or the ignition circuit. 2. In addition to the neutral, an additional switch is added to the cutting or other attachment control lever so the engine cannot be started with the mower blade or other attachment engaged. This switch can be in the same circuits as a neutral position
