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:
Open the battery cover as described in Replacing Battery.
See Fig. 7-2.
Remove fuse from socket and inspect as shown in Fig. 7-5.
If it is burned out, replace with standard automotive 40
ampere fuse.
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.

Off-Season Storage
The following steps should be taken to prepare your lawn mower
for storage.
Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in the
lubrication instructions.
Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your
unit.
Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis grease to prevent
rusting.
Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage
instructions.
Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
When storing any type of power equipment in a poorly
ventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to
rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the
equipment, especially cables and all moving parts of your lawn
mower before storage.
Battery
The battery must be stored with a full charge. Extended storage
of a discharged battery will reduce life and capacity of the
battery.
