Do You Throttle All The Way Down Before Turning Off The Engine?

I'm going to change how I engage and disengage the PTO as I've been doing it at full throttle for both, not knowing any better and I'm pretty sure this isn't addressed in the owners manual as I've read it cover to cover more than once - I hope I haven't caused my mower harm up to now...?

I'm at 112 hours.

And thanks for the advice on doing this the right way.

No biggie...not all manuals say this I engaged my lawn mower at full throttle for 25+ years...guess it didn't matter that much. I now engage at 1/2 throttle on new zero turn.

At 100 hours you're just now broke in...you haven't caused any damage but throttling down for the PTO will just help your electric clutch last longer.
