This mower is equipped with three protective fuses: a 25
amp main fuse (pictured to the right) and a 10 amp
clutch fuse (blade engagement). The main fuse is located
on
the left side of the unit; by the starter solenoid.
The clutch fuse is located beside the control panel. You
might need to remove the four screws that hold the control panel
to the tank using a 3mm or a 1/8” hex wrench.
A blown fuse usually indicates a problem within the
electrical system or an electrical component. Ensure
the battery terminals are tightly fastened. Never
replace a fuse with one of a higher amperage rating or
‘bypass’ a fuse in any way. Doing so creates a significant
fire hazard and can cause severe damage to the mower’s
electrical components. If a fuse is repeatedly blowing,
contact your Bad Boy dealer.
On most models, the red wire coming out of the engine is
the charging wire from the alternator. Check for 13.6 -
14.2 volts dc at this wire with engine at full throttle.
If you are having issues starting your mower
ensure the signal wire is connected to your starter
solenoid.
Check the condition and connection of the relays located
under the control panel. Ensure that they are clean and
connected. Make sure that wire terminal ends have not
been pushed out of the relay block.
