d) Make sure the "OPC" levers are depressed.
e) Check that there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel valve is open.
f) Check that the spark plug wires are properly connected.
g) Check for loose or faulty wiring connections. If it is necessary to
disconnect wire connectors, Do Not pull on the wires.
h) Check for corrosion at all wiring connections. Even minor corrosion may
cause a faulty connection. Clean connector terminals thoroughly, apply
dielectric grease and reconnect.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that all operator safety mechanisms be
connected and in proper operating condition prior to mower use.
NOTE: After carefully checking the above steps, attempt to start the engine. If
it does not start, contact your authorized Exmark service dealer.
ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING
When a problem occurs, do not overlook the simple causes. For example,
starting problems could be caused by an empty fuel tank. The following
tables list some of the common causes of trouble. Do not attempt to service
or replace major items or any items that call for special timing or adjustment
procedures (such as valves, governor, etc.). Have this work done by your
Engine Service Dealer.
