Locate the safety switch on the bottom of the operator's seat. It will be a plastic wire harness attached to the underside of the seat with two wires running from it to the engine.

Cut each wire with wire cutters and hold the wires in your hand. Don't let go of the wires and allow them to drop down into the mower.
