How do I prevent the engine from shutting off when I put the mower in reverse while the blades are engaged?
Is this a good question?

Ah this is simple. when you look at the ignition, where the key goes, there should be a little icon of a mower with an arrow. After you start the mower, turn the key to this position. If it isnt there it wont go reverse, so after starting just move the key to that position and it should fix it. Go test it now and let me know if it works!
Hope this helps!

With ignition in proper position for reverse cutting, which I've always used in the past, my engine will sputter and threaten to cut off when I push down on the reverse pedal. To reverse I have to disengage the blades then depress the reverse pedal to keep the engine from cutting off. I have the Husqvarna YTH22V46. Maybe it's the ignition switch that's not recognizing itself being in the 'reverse while cutting position'??
when i set that up it works first time but when mow in reverse second time it shuts off
I have the T2400 and when I put it in reverse it stalls, the blades are not engaged.
it is a safety function ,on my stiga combi, there is a small plastic leaver on the left hand side that has to be pressed down with the heel at the same time as you press down reverse ,on other machines there may be different methods but there will be something to disengage the safety switch

Put the cutter deck out of drive then try revers afterwards put it in forward drive turn the engine to full on then put the cutting deck into drive . When the cutting deck is in drive to use reverse you need press a small lever down with your left heal
