Note: The front of the mower deck will be approximately 1/8’’- 1/4’’ lower than the back of the mower deck; this is the
“rake” of the deck.
6.3 ENGINE WILL NOT START
Make sure there is fuel in the fuel tank and that the fuel valve is open.
Check that the blade drive is disengaged and the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
Check that the spark plug wire is properly connected.
Make sure the transmission is in neutral.
Check for loose or faulty wiring connections.
Check for corrosion at all wiring connections. Even minor corrosion may cause a faulty connection. Clean connector
terminals thoroughly with electrical contact cleaner, apply dielectric grease and reconnect.
NOTE: After carefully checking the above steps, attempt to start the engine. If it does not start, contact your
authorized service dealer.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that all operator safety mechanisms be connected and in proper operating condition
