Battery Installation, Reduce Tire Pressure

4.With cell caps removed, connect battery charger to battery terminals; RED to positive (+) and BLACK to negative (-) terminal.

5.If time allows, slow charge at 1 amp for 10 hours, or as an alternative, fast charge at not more than 2.5 amps for 4 hours to bring the battery to full charge. NOTE: Slow charging is recommended and extends battery life.

6.After charging, check level of electrolyte and add as needed to bring level to 3/16” above cell plates.

7.Reinstall cell caps.

WARNING

Keep sparks and flames away from battery at all times! Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse empty acid containers with water and mutilate before discarding. If acid is spilled on battery, bench, or clothing, etc., flush with clear water and neutralize with baking soda or ammonia solution.

STEP 3: BATTERY INSTALLATION

1.Carefully place the charged battery, with terminals toward front of tractor as shown on decal, in the tractor battery compartment. See Figure 1.

2.Retrieve plastic bag from under the hood, on top of gas tank. Remove nuts and bolts from plastic hardware bag.

3.Connect positive (+) cable (red) from wiring harness to the positive terminal (+) on battery using bolt and nut provided in hardware bag.

4.Connect negative (-) cable (black) to negative terminal (-) on battery using bolt and nut.

Note: Shield the positive terminal with terminal cover located on battery harness. This prevents metal from touching the positive terminal which could cause sparks.

5.Reinstall seat/pedestal assembly and tighten seat knobs securely. DO NOT operate tractor without the seat/pedestal assembly installed properly because it serves as the battery hold down.

STEP 4: STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION

1.Place steering wheel over steering shaft located on tractor. Align hole in steering shaft with holes in steering wheel and insert roll pin. Tap roll pin with hammer gently through steering wheel and shaft until roll pin is centered on the shaft. Do not use excessive force! (See Figure 2)

Step 5: REDUCE TIRE PRESSURE

1.The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Reduce tire pressure in front tires to 12 PSI and in rear tires to 12 PSI.
