Page 14

FINAL PREPARATION

1.Remove battery from chassis.

2.Fill each cell with electrolyte (acid) to ring at bottom of fill cap.

3.Allow battery to sit for (10) minutes, re-check acid level and top off any

cells that are low.

4.Trickle charge battery using a charger of less than (6) amps until all cells are gassing freely. Hydrometer readings may be taken, if desired.

5.Install permanent battery caps and wash any accumulated acid from battery before re-installation on chassis.

6.Observe proper battery polarity when re-connecting leads on chassis. Always connect positive lead first.

Engine Service:

1.Final preparation of engine should be completed using engine service manual provided with mower.

Initial Start and Hydrostat Transmission Check:

1.Final hydrostat checks have been performed at the factory, however, it is necessary to check that the pressure relief bypass on each hydrostatic transmission is completely released before attempting to drive mower.

2.Each hydrostat has a bypass relief pin located at the bottom front of the unit. A stop plate is provided to allow the mower to be rolled around without complete servicing of the unit. To accomplish this, the stop plate must be positioned to depress the bypass relief pin. If the stop plate is depressing the pin, loosen the lock nut on the stop plate and rotate the stop plate outward which will allow the pin to pop out to the fully extended position. Tighten lock nut on stop plate at this point.
