How to fix Ferris F800X engine that will not turnover or start?

If your Ferris Lawn Mower engine won't turnover or start, make sure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is in the OFF position, and there's enough fuel. If the engine is hot, let it cool before refilling the fuel tank. Also, check that the Ground Speed Control Levers are locked in NEUTRAL, the operator is in the seat, and the glow plugs are pre-heated. Other potential causes include a blown fuse (replace it), dirty battery terminals (clean them), a discharged or dead battery (recharge or replace it), loose or broken wiring (check and repair), a faulty solenoid or starter motor (repair or replace by an authorized dealer), a faulty safety interlock switch (replace by an authorized dealer), or water or old fuel in the fuel tank (drain and replace with fresh fuel).
