  The starter might not turn on your MTD Lawn Mower due to several reasons: * The safety locking system may be activated. To resolve this, sit on the driver’s seat, fully depress the brake pedal or apply the parking brake, and switch off the cutter deck. * The battery might not be connected correctly. Ensure the red cable is connected to the (+) battery terminal and the black cable to the (–) terminal. * The battery could be discharged or low. In this case, charge the battery. * A fuse may have tripped. Replace the fuse. If it blows repeatedly, there may be a short-circuit. * There might be a loose earth cable between the engine and frame.
