Hayter Harrier 48, kill cable confusion.

Hi all, new here so wanted to say hello initially and to share and ask for help with my mower problem.

I have recently purchased a used Harrier 48, and on closer inspection, found the cable is missing for the (I think it’s called) engine kill switch. It’s the handle that need to be closed in order for the engine to run, spring loaded so if you I:guess trip and let go the mower cuts out.

My confusion is I am completely unable to see where the cable should terminate at the engine.

I'm wondering if anyone can assist and guide me. Maybe with a photo or expiation.

I cant seem to locate any plate on the mower to identify the actual model, sadly so added a couple of images in case anyone may know?

any assistance from the wider group is appreciated, I’m assuming this kill switch is a legal requirement to have too?

Cheers
Martin

 

Hi and welcome @Martin247
I'd get in touch with whoever you bought from.

 

Oh. Very helpful,

 

Likely to link to engine to 'open' connection to ignition when released.ie to start engine it must be 'squeezed' closed at handlebar.Remove plastic engine cover to find where it hooks in, probably on governor on carburettor.Likely to be spring loaded.
Does engine start ?
Produced after 2006 probably....

For something so serious I’d contact a Hayter dealer.

I have a Hayter Osprey, and this is where the 'kill cable' goes on mine.
I think yours has the same Briggs & Stratton engine
