Jump-Starting

Ariens does not recommend jump-starting your unit.

components. See your engine manual for more detailed

information.

Replacing Fuses

only the same size fuse as was originally installed.

There are two fuses on your Ariens mower. They are located

on the frame on the inside. One is close to the front of the

fuel tank. The second is located to the rear of the tank. Both

are 20 amp fuses.

the fuse if it is broken.
