Hi Don
Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.
The first thing that I would do is verify that you have the correct manual. Then look in the manual to verify that your model is equipped with the shut off valve. If it is supposed to have one, you should take the unit into an authorized dealer to get the missing part installed, but if you take the unit in to the dealer and the unit that you have is not supposed to have one, you would be subject to the shops labor charges. So check the manual to verify that your unit is supposed to have one before you do anything.
Not all machines have a petcock valve and with this unit having a Briggs & Stratton engine I can not be absolutely sure without looking at the machine.
Thanks again for contacting Husqvarna.
Thanx, Greg. Seems I have the correct manual, and it deifinitely says I should have a fuel shut-off valve. I'll take your good advice and go to an authorized dealer and have it checked out. Thanks again.
