question is how many safety switches are their ? and how do I go about tracing the wires to them .
I dont have a manuel .

Answer
 Hello Jonathan:

 1- Seat Safety.  2- Clutch/Brake Safety.  3- Blade Safety.  The seat safety is self explanitory. The Clutch/Brake Safety, you need to work the Clutch/Brake Lever and follow the Linkage to the Switch. Do the Same with the Blade Lever. Take a short jumper wire and Jump the Switch. With the Switch jumpered try to start the engine. When you find the Bad switch the engine will turn.  Hope this Helps.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
