This mower is equipped with two protective fuses: a 25
amp main fuse (pictured to the right) and a 10 amp
clutch (blade engagement). The main fuse is located on
the left side of the unit; towards the front of the engine.
The Clutch fuse is located just underneath the control
panel.
In order to access the clutch fuse and the relays
you will need to take off the control panel by
removing four socket head screws using a 1/8”
hex wrench. This can be seen in the images on
the right. Once you remove the screws remove
the control panel and you can access the clutch
fuse and the relay bank.
A blown fuse usually indicates a problem within the
electrical system or an electrical component. 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.
