  If your Gravely Lawn Mower engine won't crank or start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the safety interlock system is properly engaged and not faulty. Next, check that the fuel tank isn't empty and fill it if necessary. A discharged battery could also be the culprit, so try charging it. Inspect the connections between the battery and cables, tightening them or cleaning away any corrosion if needed. Also, make sure the spark plug wires are securely connected, and the spark plugs aren't faulty; replace them if they are. If these steps don't resolve the issue, there may be a fault in the electrical system or the engine itself, in which case you should contact your Gravely Dealer.

  If your Gravely Lawn Mower is not moving even when the engine is running and you're using the steering levers, the transmission bypass lever might be engaged; disengage it. Another potential issue is a faulty hydrostatic belt, which would need replacement. If neither of these solutions works, the transmission itself may be faulty, and you should contact your Gravely Dealer.

  If the PTO or mower blades on your Gravely Lawn Mower won't engage or shut off, there are several things to check. First, make sure the operator presence switch is depressed by sitting on the seat. Also, check if the electric clutch connector is loose or disconnected and connect it. A faulty PTO belt can also cause this issue, so consider replacing it. If none of these steps work, the operator presence switch, PTO switch, wires, connectors, or clutch may be faulty, and you should contact your Gravely Dealer.
