Position Rear Bumper

For shipping purposes the rear bumper is rotated upward from its normal position. To reposition the rear bumper, refer to Figure 3 and proceed as follows:

From inside the tractor frame, just behind the rear tires, remove the internal cotter pins from the clevis pins securing the bumper to each side of the frame.

While supporting the rear bumper, cut the cable tie fastening the bumper to the engine lift bracket, and remove the clevis pins from each side. See Figure 3-4.

Remove the bumper and reposition to align the notch at each end of the bumper with the spacer on each side of the frame. Slide the bumper notches onto the spacers. Refer to Figure 3-4.

Connect the Battery

warning!: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

The tractor is shipped with an activated sealed battery, with the positive battery cable factory connected. The negative cable must be connected.

Note: Make sure the ignition switch is in the “OFF” position before attaching the battery cable.

1.Pull the protective cap (if present) off the negative terminal of the battery, and remove the hex cap screw and nut from the free end of the negative battery cable.

2.Connect the negative battery cable (heavy black) to negative terminal (NEG) of the battery using the hex cap screw and nut. Slide the black terminal cover over the negative terminal of the battery.

Lower Deck Discharge Chute Deflector

WARNING!: Never operate the mower deck without the chute deflector installed and in the down position.

Check the mower deck for a shipping brace (w/tag) that may be holding the chute deflector upward for shipment. If a brace is present, it must be removed before operating the tractor. Holding the chute deflector fully upward, remove the shipping by grasping it and rotating it clockwise. Lower the chute deflector. See Figure 3-4.
