Position Drive Control levers

The drive control levers of the tractor are lowered for shipping purposes. The flange lock nuts, hex screws, and flat washers that normally secure the control levers in their operating position are unfastened and installed in the slotted holes of the control levers for shipment. The control levers must be repositioned to operate the tractor. To reposition the control levers for operation, proceed as follows:

1.Remove the hex screw and flat washer from the upper slot of one of the drive control levers.

2.Lift and swing that control lever upward until the slotted hole in the lever bracket aligns with one of the holes in the pivot bracket. See Figure 3-4.

3.Slide the flat washer onto the hex screw. From the outside, insert the hex screw with washer through the control lever slot and the hole of the pivot bracket. See Figure 3-4.

4.Note the relative position of the control lever to the pivot bracket, then repeat the previous steps to reposition the other control lever in approximately the same position.

5.Refer to “Adjusting the Drive Control Levers” in the

Maintenance & Adjustments for instructions on the final adjustment of the levers.

Connecting the Battery Cables

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

CAUTION: When attaching battery cables, always connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.

For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment may have been left disconnected from the terminals at the factory. To connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:

NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).

NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip ahead to step 2.

1.Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the positive battery terminal and attach the red cable to the positive battery terminal (+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-5.

Figure 3-5

2.Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the negative battery terminal and attach the black cable to the negative battery terminal (–) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-5.

3.Position the red rubber boot over the positive battery terminal to help protect it from corrosion.

NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown on top/side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in the Maintenance section your Operator’s Manual prior to operating the tractor.
