Hi all!
I just bought a L3540 GST and am loving it, in spite of being formerly a "green machine" fan. The thing I wonder about is that whenever I lean over in the seat, or reach down to do something in the foot area, the engine shuts off. This happened when I was trying it out, and the seller said that I must be coming off the seat too far. But I'm not a little gal, and he was really no heavier than me. Still, it didn't do that when he was operating it. My question is, is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the switch that's causing this?

Raise the seat and find the switch. Look at the way it's mounted. You should be able to figure out how to move it toward the seat, maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
