There are 2 fuses on the Standard C Series tractor, 3 on
the HE models.
STANDARD TRACTOR
The 20amp (Yellow) charging circuit. The 15amp (Blue)
lights, ignition and safety switches.
HE SPEC TRACTORS
The left hand 20amp (Yellow) charging circuit. The mid
position 20amp (Yellow) lights, ignition, safety switches
(this replaces the 15amp fuse on the standard tractor). The
20amp (Blue) electric lift for Cutter Deck and Collector.
To check – remove the fuses and check the small window
(fig 54 & 55), there should be an unbroken metal strip
bridging the gap.
If the 15amp fuse blows when the ignition key is turned,
this means there is a short between the red and blue
coloured wire and the body of the tractor. The usual places
to investigate are:
1. The electrical PTO and socket (if fitted).
2. Seat Switch wires.
3. The Brake Micro Switch.
Please contact your dealer or the Countax Service
Department before investigating electrical shorts.
If fuses blow after these have been checked, call your
dealer.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD FUSES - Fig 57
There are 2 fuses on the Circuit Board, which can be
reached by removing the PCB cover (see fig 56). These
two fuses control the lights and the Electromagnetic Blade
Clutch. If the Blade Clutch disengages without being
switched off, these are the possible causes:
1. You have got off the seat – the safety switch will
disengage the Cutter.
2. The battery has lost charge and will no longer hold the
clutch in operation.
3. Fuse blown on Printed Circuit Board – see figure 57.
4. Faulty safety switch or break in wire – contact your
dealer.
Please Note: - BEFORE YOU START
