I was distracted when I turned off my mower (Husqvarna 2754GLS) today. I had the mower engaged (was actively mowing) and I switched off the power using the ignition key. In other words, I forgot to disengage the mower blades before I shut off the mower.
Now the engine won't turn over at all. Not even when it's hooked up to my car's battery.
I checked the battery with a volt meter (an older one), and it registers 11 or 12 volts -- maybe that's low, but it should be doing *something*, at least a clicking noise. Especially when it's receiving active power from a running PT Cruiser!
Anyhow, my best guess is that the clutch (mower blade) is stuck in the "engaged" position -- but how do I disengage it? I don't fully understand the nature of the switch. It's not a button that just sends a signal, but it's also not a simple switch like the choke or the headlight switch, which can obviously be set when the mower is on or off. I think the "clutch engage" is something in-between.
Anyhow, how do I get my mower to run again? How do I make sure the mower blade engage/clutch is fully disengaged?
Thanks,
Matthew
