fuse. If the fuse burns out, the electric starter will not operate. If the
unit fails to start with the electric starter, perform the following steps to
check the fuse inside the battery housing:
1. Open the battery cover as described in Replacing Battery. See
Figure 19.
2. Remove fuse from socket and inspect as shown in Figure 22. If it
is burned out, replace with standard automotive 40 ampere fuse.
3. Carefully place wiring back into housing, close battery cover, and
fold upper handle back into place.
NOTE: The engine can be started manually it the fuse bums out.
