Fuse Replacement – Electric Start Remote Control Models
The electric starting circuit is protected from overload by a SFE 20 AMP fuse. If the fuse is
blown, the electric starter motor will not operate. Locate and correct the cause of the
overload. If the cause is not found, the fuse may blow again. Replace the fuse with a fuse
of the same rating.
1. Replace with a new SFE 20 AMP fuse.
