I press the brake and turn the key and the engine does not turn. It has a new battery
I turn the key to start the engine but the engine does not turn . The battery is new and I press on the brake ,
If the Craftsman RER 1000 engine does not turn over when the key is turned, despite having a new battery and pressing the brake, possible issues include:
1. The parking brake switch is not making contact. Even if the brake is pressed, the switch underneath may not be engaged properly.
2. The PTO switch is engaged. The PTO switch must be fully disengaged (pushed in) for the engine to start.
3. The seat switch may not be functioning correctly, though it's not required to be pressed if the parking brake is locked.
4. A blown fuse could prevent the engine from turning over.
Check the parking brake switch, PTO switch, seat switch, and fuse for proper function.
