3.After the battery is filled with electrolyte, replace the filler caps and charge the battery. Refer to Battery Charging.

Battery Charging

DANGER

BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES

∙Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area, so that gases produced while charg- ing can dissipate.

∙Keep sparks, flames, and smoking mate- rials away from the battery at all times.

∙Make sure the battery cap vents are open after the battery is filled with acid (check manifold vent on each cap).

∙Make sure the battery charger is unplug- ged before connecting or disconnecting cables to the battery.

1.Charge the battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes. DO NOT exceed 20 amps maximum recom- mended charging rate. Charge until specific gravity is at least 1.250. Total charging time should not exceed one (1) hour.

2.After charging the battery, adjust the electrolyte level to the bottom of the vent wells [1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) above the plates].

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill the battery. Electrolyte will overflow through the vented caps onto parts of the machine and WILL result in severe corrosion.

3.Install battery.

Battery Installation

Install the battery in the mower as shown in Battery Installation photo. Connect the positive and nega- tive cables to the proper battery terminal (red cable and boot connects to the Positive (+) terminal). Slide the rubber boot up and over the battery post, making sure it covers the post completely to pre- vent an electrical short.

WARNING

Make sure the battery cap vents are open. Improper venting of the battery COULD cause a battery explosion.

Mower Deck Assembly

Deck Caster Wheels Installation

1.Remove the bolt, nut, axle spacer tube, and spacer washers from each deck caster wheel fork.

NOTE: Spacer washers are used only when the optional semi-pneumatic deck wheels (8.25 x 2.75) are installed.

2.Fit the axle spacer tube through the wheel hub, position the spacer washer on each side of the hub (if used), and fit the assembly into the wheel fork.

3.Insert the 3/8-16 x 4-1/2 in. bolt through the wheel fork with the bolt head to the outside and install the 3/8-16 in. Keps nut.

4.Tighten the bolt and nut until the axle spacer tube bottoms against the inside of the wheel fork (will not turn) while the wheel and spacer washers (if used) spin freely without binding.
