Goodmorning
Z122r zero turn ran it over a bush yesterday bottoed out. After getting it back on level ground. Starts. But won't engage as soon as I try to engage it shuts down. I jumped the handle safety switches. And it's operating as it should. Tried reconnecting one switch while jumping the other and vice versa. Shuts down on either switch. Obviously I don't want to use it with jumps. I'm confused as to where I should be looking next. Seems doubtful both switches bunker out at same time thanks

What doesn’t engage? PTO or hand levers? PTO problem could be a dislodged blade causing a bind or crap jamming the mower belt or pulleys . If it’s the levers then take a look at your brake switch. If it’s jammed ON you’re engine will shutdown when either lever is moved from neutral.

Hey Thanks for the advice.
That's exactly what it was the brake switch took a hit when I bounced on the bush. Took it out straightened it and cleaned it. Back together and running. Thanks very much.
