OPERATION

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

 

The 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 the mower to start other vehicles.

 

If “jumper cables” are used for emergency starting,

 

follow this procedure:

 

Jumper Cables

 

• Connect each end of the RED cable to the

 

POSITIVE (+) terminal on each battery, taking

 

care not to short against chassis.

 

• Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the

8011-642

NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the fully charged battery.

Jumper cable connection

 

• Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to a

 

good CHASSIS GROUND on the mower with the

 

discharged battery, away from the fuel tank and

 

battery.

 

To remove cables, reverse order

Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery.

Remove RED cable last from both batteries.
