A guy i work for has one of these, it wont start....so looking at fuel or electrical problem

 

So how are you supposed to get at the engine if it wont start as grass box needs to be in its raised position to get at the engine ????? no manual lift that i can see ??

 

great machine but poorly thought out for maintenance/breakdowns

Any thoughts ??

 

Cheers

Mike

Don't know the machine, but from the manual:

 

 

"If the engine or the battery are out of order, the grass-catcher can be opened manually: insert the key and sit on

the driver's seat. In this way the hydraulic valve is relieved. Push the button to open the grasscatcher

(fig, 5, n. 13) and open the grass-catcher manually. The battery is located under the grasscatcher

in the rear part of the machine (fig. 33, A). If it is out of order, the battery can be removed

and recharged."

hmm, it had an issue with the main fuse when he first got it, ill chech that, cheers mate

I don’t know this machine but assume it’s a diesel with the d in model number. The diesel mowers I’ve used have a separate fuse for fuel solenoid. So if it’s turning over it could be that

Yes fair enough. The other option is all the safety switches being pressed in as they should be. Seat/hydro pedal cutting switch off etc
