Reverse Safety Switch
The reverse safety switch monitors the position of the transmission linkage; if the switch or its wiring fails, the interlock system defaults to a 'reverse' state, which kills power to the PTO clutch for safety. Since the blades engage only when the Reverse Caution Mode override is active, the system is clearly receiving a false-positive reverse signal or has a break in the standard forward-path wiring.

PTO Relay
The PTO circuit utilizes a 12V relay to handle the current draw of the electromagnetic clutch; a partial failure of the relay or corroded terminals can result in inconsistent engagement logic between standard and override modes.

PTO Switch
The manual pull-knob-style plunger switch contains internal contacts for multiple safety loops; if the internal 'forward' contact path is carbonized or physically damaged, it may fail to maintain the latching circuit unless the ignition is in the RMC position.
