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 Fig. 3-3.

Figure 3-3

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 Fig. 3-3.

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.

CheckingTire Pressure

WARNING! Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire. Do not overinflate tires. Check sidewall of tires for maximum

psi. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times.

The tires on your tractor may be over inflated for shipping purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating the tractor. Check sidewall of tires for maximum psi.

Setting the DeckGaugeWheelsand Roller

Move the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably pavement, and proceed as follows

1.Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing the deck lift lever in the normally desired mowing height setting (any of the six different cutting height notches on the right fender).

2.Check the gauge wheels for contact or excessive clearance

with the surface below. The deck gauge wheels should have between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch clearance above the

ground.

If the gauge wheels have excessive clearance or contact with the surface, adjust as follows:

a.Raise the deck lift handle to its highest setting.

b.Remove the front gauge wheels by removing the lock nuts and shoulder screws which secure them to

the deck. See Fig. 3-4

Figure 3-4

c.Place the deck lift lever in the desired mowing height setting.

d.Reinsert the shoulder screw (with each gauge

wheel) into the index hole that leaves approximately 1/2-inch between the bottom of the wheel and the

pavement.

e.Remove the clevis pins and hairpin clips from the deck roller brackets on the left and right sides of the cutting deck. See Fig. 3-4.
