Fuse
i _lll_llilk WARNING! Before servicing, repairing, or
inspecting, always disengage PTO, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
A fuse is installed in your tractor's wiring harness to protect the
tractor's electrical system from damage caused by excessive
amperage.
If the electrical system does not function, or your tractor's engine
will not crank, first check to be certain that the fuse has not
blown. It is located under the hood, mounted behind the top of
the dash panel on the support bar.
i_i CAUTION:
Always use a replacement fuse with the
same amperage capacity as the blown fuse.
