The seat switch cap is also called a seat switch button or a kill switch. This button is compatible with many lawn tractor models, and it serves an important safety purpose for the machine. The cap is essentially a safety switch that features two sets of contacts on the bottom of the button. One connects to the engine and the other is grounded. If the mower deck is engaged and the driver gets off the tractor, this cap turns off the engine. It can prevent injury if the rider falls off the mower while using it.If the seat switch cap is not working properly, it will mean that the mower will not turn off when the rider gets off the seat. While the caps are durable, they can wear down over time. They might crack or break, or the contacts could become damaged. Because this is such an important safety feature, owners will need to replace it before they use the tractor again.This seat switch cap is compatible with select models from Husqvarna. It is sold individually, and it is an authentic OEM replacement part.
