Weak Battery

WARNING!

Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Your mower is equipped with a 12-volt negative grounded system. The other vehicle must also be a 12-volt negative grounded system. Do not use your mower to start other vehicles.

If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. (See Battery in the Maintenance section.)

If jumper cables are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure:
