Accessing the Fuse Center
The fuse center is located on the inside right of the
dash panel. To access the fuse center, remove the
dash panel insert by removing the two screws. See
Figure 38.
To cover the fuse center, reposition the dash panel
insert in the dash and secure with the two screws.
Figure 38
Instrument Panel Fuses
The instrument panel’s circuitry is protected by the
two fuses in the fuse center. If the instrument panel
does not function properly, check the fuses.
• Pull the fuses from the fuse center and check
their condition. Replace a blown fuse with the
same capacity fuse (3 Amp). See Figure 39.
Relays
The PTO relay and starter relay, located in the fuse
center, maintain power to each of those circuits. If
one of the circuits is not functioning properly, have
your dealer electrically check the relay. See Figure
39.

Main Fuse
The main fuse in the tractor wire harness protects
the tractor’s entire electrical system. A blown main
fuse will prevent battery current from passing
though the harness.
To replace the main fuse:
• Raise tractor hood and remove right side panel.
• Locate the main fuse under the dash panel,
along the tractor’s right frame rail. See Figure 40.
Figure 40
• Pull the fuse from the fuse holder and replace
with the same capacity fuse (30 Amp). NEVER
use a higher amperage fuse.
• Install side panel and lower tractor hood.
Hazard Light Flasher Relay
The flasher relay controls the on/off flashing of the
hazard lights. If the hazard lights do not function
properly, the flasher relay is probably faulty.
Replace the relay as follows:
• Remove the dash panel insert by removing the
two screws. Refer to Figure 38.
• Pull the wire harness from the dash opening.
Cut and remove the electrical tape holding the
flasher relay to the harness. See Figure 41
• Note the position of the two harness leads; then
disconnect the leads from the faulty relay and
connect to the new relay.
• Secure the relay to the wire harness with
electrical tape. Reposition the wire harness in
the dash panel and reinstall the dash insert.
