Note:
When the battery no longer holds a charge,
recycle or dispose of the lead-acid battery according
to local codes.
Replacing the Fuse
Your mower comes with a fuse that protects the electric
starter. If the battery does not charge or the engine does
not run with the electric starter, the fuse may be blown.
Replace it with a 40-amp plug-in type fuse.
Important:
You cannot start the mower with the
electric starter or charge the battery unless you
install the fuse.
1. Unclip both ends of the battery cover and remove
it (Figure 25).

2. Insert the fuse into the fuse holder (Figure 26).
