When it starts cutting out and you turn off the PTO, how long do you have to wait until it can be turned on again? It sounds as if your PTO is overheating and loading down the engine. Run the mower for about 10 minutes, shut it off, and carefully feel the PTO housing. Resume cutting and repeat after it starts cutting out.

Replacing it is not as simple as changing the spark plug, but does not require an advanced degree.

I first got a message saying "improper shutdown. Use only the on key not wall switch to shut down printer." When I tried to shut down the printer it would not work. I had to pull out the plug.

take out the power cable and do the power drain by holding the power key for 1 min and releasing the accumalated power. replug the pwr cable to the printer. it should work fine.

My computer shuts down by itself. Have problems restarting or not starting at all. The start button light stays on even after I unplug my computer.

power supply problem possibly? I dont know about the pwr light staying on but i knew someone who had mostly the same problem and it was clogging with dust and overheating. you might want to open it up and wipe it down to see if that helps

On shutting down my laptop it gave the message, "installing 1 of 1" do not turn off your computer. It did not turn off all night. I turned it off by using the on/off button then shut it down...

When you start your laptop, press F8. You will get a menu (Normal boot, Reboot...). Choose Last good known configuration (something like that).
