Don't answer that!
I purchased a Husqvarna 21" trim mower this spring and just got a recall on it. The recall says:
"The operator presence bail can fail causing the engine to remain on and the blades to continue to rotate. An individual who is not aware that the blades continue to run after the bail is released, may reach under the mower deck to clear a clog or other debris and come in contact with the rotating blades. This creates a risk of laceration or amputation of digits or limbs."
Am I stupid to assume that there are people alive that could hear the motor running and still put their hands under it?
Frankly, that warning kinda insulted my intelligence!
Now I fully understand that a defect "presence bail" that will not kill the engine like it should when released - should be replaced. But to warn that a running engine . . .
