Unplug the deck from the mower.

You should *never* touch a blade if the deck is plugged in.

Aside from that, the elec-trak shorts out the mower motors when the contactor is off. Thus they "self brake" to stop spinning quickly.

I am puzzled by this spin one blade and the others should spin too biz. I did my first mowing of the year yesterday and for the most part it went well though at times it seemed the middle mower was cutting out leaving a strip of unmowed grass. today I reached under and turned each blade one at a time and never did the other two blades spin. well perhaps I was spinning them in the wrong direction or not fast enough? I had my wife sit on the tractor so I put my hands on each motor they were all running while stationary. is there a thermal switch on the mower motors?
