This authentic OEM part is a replacement momentary switch meant for a chainsaw or edge trimmer. Also known as a kill switch, a momentary switch acts as a safety measure to immediately shut off the appliance's motor. If the user begins to lose control of the appliance, they can simply hit the momentary switch and the engine will disengage even if it is not currently in the off position. This helps to prevent accidents and bodily harm. When engaged, the engine requires a five second waiting period before it can restart. Over time and through repeated use, switches can naturally become worn out. They may also be damaged if knocked against something hard on accident. Replacing this switch will require a screwdriver to access the switch located in the handle of the appliance. Once accessed, the switch can easily be replaced by detaching the wires and inserting the new part. Be sure to follow the user's manual as this process will vary depending on the appliance. This part is sourced directly from its original manufacturer and will work with Poulan and Weed Eater appliances. This part ships individually.

Leaf blower won't turn on or off? This momentary switch kit controls power to your handheld blower. Simple repair for worn or damaged switches.

The momentary switch is a part that is unique to self-propelled lawn mowers and used to control the power of the self-propelled movement. The momentary switch provides power when pressed and held, and will ensure that the unit operates properly while in use. Over time, the momentary switch can become worn, short out, or just stop working as it should. This will require a replacement with a compatible part or the self-propelled part of the machine will not work properly. This genuine OEM part is compatible with self-propelled mowers from Cub Cadet, Bolens, MTD, Murray, and Troy-Bilt. It is made of durable materials and sold individually. Replacing this switch requires a wrench and screwdriver, as well as a socket set. Without a self-propelled switch, the mower will still operate but it will require the user to push the machine with their entire body weight. This can make the process of mowing much more difficult and often cause further unnecessary wear to the machine, which is why a replacement is essential.

If your lawn tractor blades won't engage or disengage, this PTO switch controls blade engagement. Common fix for unresponsive PTO operation.
