Replacing Fuse
The electric start circuit is protected by one 20 Amp fuse.
IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Help prevent machine circuit
damage. Make sure replacement fuse is the correct size.
1. Locate electric start fuse holder under console on right side of
machine.
• Open fuse holder (A) and remove socket with fuse.
• Check metal clip in fuse window. Discard fuse if clip is broken.
• Install new 20 Amp fuse in socket.
• Install socket with fuse in cover. Ensure that plastic tab of fuse
holder is securely fastened to fuse socket.
Adjusting Operator Presence Switch
1. Remove the OPC plate covering the operator presence switch
by removing the two 3/8-16 x 1.25 carriage bolts securing it in
place.
2. Carefully cut the wire tie securing the harness to the plate.
3. Loosen the two # 10 pan head screws (A) securing the safety
switch (B) in place and slide the switch in or out as necessary.
4. Install the safety plate removed in step one and tie the harness
to the plate again.

NOTE: The switch is properly adjusted when there is 3/8" - 1/2"
clearance between the rubber bumper and the support plate when
there is not any pressure applied to the plate. The foot plate can be
adjusted by tightening or loosening the lock nut (C) holding the
compression spring in place.
Service Miscellaneous
Using Proper Fuel
Use regular grade unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 87 octane
or higher. Fuel blends containing up to 10% ethanol or up to 15%
MTBE reformulated fuel are acceptable. Do not use fuel or
additives containing methanol as engine damage can occur.
Always use fresh, clean fuel that is purchased in a quantity that can
be used within approximately 30 days, or add fuel stabilizer.
Fuel is blended to give best seasonal performance. To avoid
engine performance problems such as hard starting or vapor lock,
use in-season fuel. Use fuel during warm weather that was
purchased during that season, and use fuel during cold weather
that was purchased during that season.
Fuel can become stale in machines with engines that are used
seasonally or infrequently during a season. Stale fuel can produce
varnish and plug carburetor components which can affect engine
performance.
Keep fuel storage container tightly covered and in a cool area out of
direct sunlight. Fuel can break down and degrade if not sealed
properly or exposed to sun and heat.
Condensation may collect in the fuel tank because of a variety of
operating or environmental conditions and, over time, may affect
your machine's operation. Fill fuel tank at the end of daily use and
store fuel in plastic containers to reduce condensation.
For best year-round performance and fuel-handling, add stabilizer
to fuel immediately after fuel purchase. Such practice helps prevent
engine performance problems and allows fuel storage in the
machine all year without draining.
