Fuel Shut-Off Valves
Swisher Response Zero Turn Mowers are equipped with two shut-off valves, one for each tank.
These are located behind the seat and in front of the engine.
Only one tank should be used while operating the machine. When that tank runs empty or is close to
running empty, turn off that fuel shut-off valve and turn on the opposite shut-off valve. Operating the
machine with both valves open could cause the system to pull air from an empty tank.
