Starting the engine with a weak battery

WARNING! Lead-acid batteries produce

! explosive gases. Avoid sparks, open flames and smoking close to batteries. Always wear protective glasses in the vicinity of batteries.

If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged.

When jump leads are used for emergency starting, follow the procedure below:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Your Rider is

!equipped with a 12-volt system with negative earth. The other vehicle must also have a 12- volt system with negative earth. Do not use your Rider battery to start other vehicles.

Connecting the jump leads

•Connect each end of the red cable to the POSITIVE pole

(+) on each battery, exercise care not to short circuit any of the ends against the chassis.

Connect one end of the black cable to the NEGATIVE pole (-) on the fully charged battery.

•Connect the other end of the black cable to a good CHASSIS EARTH, away from the fuel tank and the battery.

Remove the cables in the reverse order

•The BLACK cable is removed from the chassis and then the fully charged battery.

•Finally the RED cable from both batteries.

It is important that the air pressure in both front wheels is equal, 60 kPa / 0,6 bar / 8.5 PSI, to produce an even cutting height.

4Press in the lock button on the lifting lever and lower the cutting unit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The life span of the drive belts is increased significantly if the engine runs at a low speed when the blades are engaged. Therefore apply full throttle first when the cutting unit has been moved to the mowing position.
