Troy-Bilt 440 Manuel D’Utilisation

Do not remove the 

battery pack from the 

electric starter housing 

for any reason other 

than replacement.

The engine can be 

started manually if the 

fuse burns out.

The electric starter circuit and battery are protected by a 
40 ampere fuse. If the fuse burns out, the electric starter 
will not operate. If the unit fails to start with the electric 
starter, perform the following steps to check the fuse 
inside the battery housing:
1.  Open the battery cover as described in 

Battery. See Figure 5-6.

2.  Remove fuse from socket and inspect as shown in 

Figure 5-9. If it is burned out, replace with standard 
automotive 40 ampere fuse.

3.  Carefully place wiring back into housing, close battery 

cover, and fold upper handle back into place.

NOTE: The engine can be started manually if the fuse 
burns out.

The following steps should be taken to prepare your lawn 
mower for storage.
•  Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in 

the lubrication instructions.

•  We do not recommend the use of a pressure washer 

or garden hose to clean your unit.

•  Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage 

instructions.

•  Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis grease to 

prevent rusting.

•  Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to 

corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

When storing any type of power equipment in a poorly 
ventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to 
rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat 
the equipment, especially cables and all moving parts of 
your lawn mower before storage.

Battery (If Equipped)
The battery must be stored with a full charge. Extended 
storage of a discharged battery will reduce life and 
capacity of the battery.
