Engine Dies when Steering Handles are Engaged

1.Check if parking brake is set.

• Release parking brake.

NOTE: When parking brake is on, system is designed to kill the engine if either steering handle is engaged.

A

■This circuit has a positive voltage with the key on. Jumping the seat switch with exposed wires could short out the main fuse or timer delay.

2.Check seat switch and deck safety switch/jumper.

a.Raise seat assembly and secure.

b.Turn key switch “ON”, engage seat switch and move deck to highest cut height position if equipped with power tilt deck.

c.Check voltage between the green timer delay wire and red wire at the seat switch connector on the main wire harness side. (See FZ25D Wiring Diagram.) Both wires are located under- neath the seat pan on the right side next to steering pivot block.

•If there is voltage at one wire but not the other, either the switches/jumper are defective or not fully engaged. The red and green wires are

part of a series circuit that includes the seat switch and deck safety switch (power tilt deck) or weatherpack jumper.

•If there is voltage on only one wire check each switch individually to determine which switch is defective or not closed. The weatherpack jumper should be connected to the main wire harness, underneath the seat pan by the left hand steering pivot linkage if there is not a deck or a standard deck is attached.

•If using the power tilt option and you need to check the deck safety switch refer to Figure 12 and troubleshooting deck safety switch. If the deck switch is open the engine will kill when pulling handles in.

3.Check park brake switch.

•If there is voltage at both red/green wires men- tioned in previous paragraph, check voltage at yellow/red parking brake wires with the park brake off.

•If voltage is not present, check the yellow/red wire between the seat relay and parking brake; and the pink seat relay/timer delay wire to deter- mine which wire or relay is defective.

•If voltage is present at one yellow/red wire but not the other, the parking brake switch is defective and must be replaced.
