I just ran into an issue with starting my 5500. I have the parking brake on, etc. When I put my combo in to start mower, I’m not getting a green light to start. It’s just flashing red. It worked fine when I unloaded it after mowing most of the day yesterday. I went to load it up today and now it won’t start. Anyone have any ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@brianstanley1 you’ve checked the passcode: RESETTING IGNITION SYSTEM PASSCODE The SMARTSWITCH Ignition is preset at the factory with the default code “321 “. To reset or change the passcode, the operator does not have to be seated on the tractor.

  1. Press the SmartSwitch Ignition (SSI) button (F) once (or sit on the seat). Ensure the indicator is blinking blue.
  2. Press and hold the (1) and (3) buttons simultaneously for approximately three (3) seconds until the SSI button changes to solid blue.
  3. Using the numbered buttons, enter the desired passcode. The passcode may be anywhere from one to five digits in length.
  4. After the desired passcode has been entered, press the SSI button (F) once. NOTE: When the indicator flashes green, the passcode has been accepted. If the indicator blinks red, the passcode has not been accepted. Wait until the indicator returns to blinking blue and repeat this procedure starting from step two.
