Figure 10 on page 11 in your manual shows the safety switch.

It is located on the back of the discharge chute, on top of the deck.

Remove the two wing-nuts that hold the discharge chute and lift it off. You will see a gray button on the top of the deck at the back of the discharge hole.

Make sure that button is pushed in when you reinstall the chute.

I hope this is helpful to you!
