Fuel Shut-Off Valves

Swisher Response Zero Turn Mowers are equipped with two shut-off valves, one for each tank.

These are located behind the seat and in front of the engine.

Only one tank should be used while operating the machine. When that tank runs empty or is close to

running empty, turn off that fuel shut-off valve and turn on the opposite shut-off valve. Operating  the
machine with both valves open could cause the system to pull air from an empty tank.

“ON” Position

(Parallel with fuel line)

“OFF” Position

(Perpendicular with fuel line)
