replacing Fuse
The electric starter circuit and battery are protected by a 40 ampere
fuse. If the fuse burns out, the electric starter will not operate. If the
unit fails to start with the electric starter, perform the following steps to
check the fuse inside the battery housing:
1.
Open the battery cover as described in Replacing Battery. See
Figure 20.
2.
Remove fuse from socket and inspect as shown in Figure 23. If it
is burned out, replace with standard automotive 40 ampere fuse.
3.
Carefully place wiring back into housing, close battery cover, and
fold upper handle back into place.
NOTE: The engine can be started manually if the fuse burns out.
WarninG
Before performing any type of maintenance/service, disengage all
controls and stop the engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to
a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the
engine to prevent unintended starting.
