  If your Exmark Lawn Mower's starter isn't cranking, it could be due to several reasons: * The parking brake might not be engaged: set the parking brake. * The drive levers may not be in the neutral lock position: ensure they are properly positioned. * The battery might not have a full charge: charge the battery. * There may be corroded, loose, or faulty electrical connections: check and clean the connections, applying dielectric grease before reconnecting. * A fuse could be blown: replace the fuse. * In case of a defective relay or switch, it's best to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
