Fuse
Fuses are installed to protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage caused by excessive amperage.
Always use the same capacity fuse for
replacement. Refer to the Specifications Chart. If the electrical system does not function, check the fuses.
To replace a fuse, note the position of the fuse and pull the old fuse from the electical box.
Compare the suspect fuse with Figure 22 to determine if is good or bad.

Off-Season Storage
If the machine is to be inoperative for a period longer than 30 days, the fol- lowing procedures are recommended:
WARNING: Never store the tractor with fuel in the tank
indoors or in poorly ventilated enclosures, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc.
WARNING: Fuel left in the fuel tank during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.
To prevent gum deposits from forming inside the engine’s carburetor and causing possible malfunction of the engine, remove all gasoline from thefuel tank as follows:
•Towards end of the season, monitor fuel consumption with the goal of running the fuel tank to empty.
•Remove the fuel cap and siphon the the bulk of the fuel into an approved container. Then run the engine until it starts to falter and use the choke to keep the engine running until all fuel in the carburetor has been exhausted.
•Remove the spark plugs and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil through the spark plug holes into the cylinders. Crank the engine several times to distribute the oil.
•Replace the spark plugs.
•Clean the engine and the entire tractor thoroughly.
•Lubricate all lubrication points.
•Prepare the battery for storage.
•Protect the tires and seat from sunlight. Regularly check the tires for proper inflation.
