Where is the safety switch located? - Garden

There are many safety switches on a lawn mower. I don't know what brand or year, so the best I can do is a generic answer. There is a safety switch in the seat. If you arent sitting down, it will not run. A safety on the blades. Blades must be off when you start most mowers. Some have a safety on the pedal; must be depressed to start. Some must be in neutral to start. I am guessing the switch you are dealing with is the seat. Some are just under the seat. Flip up the seat and there it is. On some models it is actually inside the seat.
