How To Install The Seat (Figure 1)
Maintenance Free Battery (Figure 5)
IMPORTANT: Before you attach the battery cables to the battery, check the battery date. The battery date tells if the battery must be charged.
1.Raise the seat support and secure in the UP position with the seat support rod.
2.Check the top of the battery (1) for the loca- tion of the battery date.
3.If the battery (1) is put into service before the battery date, the battery cables can be attached without charging the battery (1). See “How To Install The Battery Cables”.
4.If the battery (1) is put into service after the battery date, the battery (1) must be charged. See “How To Charge The Mainten- ance Free Battery”.

Check The Tyres
Check the air pressure in the tyres. Tyres with too much air pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure is: Front Tyres 0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear Tyres 0,69 BAR (10 PSI). The tyres were over inflated for shipment.
Check The Level Of The Mower Housing
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a short distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower housing does not cut level, see the instructions on “How To Level The Mower Housing” in the Maintenance section of this instruction book.
1.Carefully remove the plastic bag from the seat (1).
2.Raise the seat support (2) and secure in the UP position with the seat support rod (6).
3.Align the holes in the seat (1) to the holes in the seat support (2). Fasten the seat (1) to the seat support (2) with the fasteners (4) and (5).
4.Check the operating position of the seat (1). If the seat (1) needs to be adjusted, loosen the two wing bolts (5). Slide the seat (1) for- ward or backward along the seat adjusting holes (3). Tighten the wing bolts (5).
How To Assemble The Steering Wheel
1.Make sure the front wheels point forward.
2.(Figure 2) Remove the plastic grip (1) from the end of the parking brake rod (3). Do not discard the plastic grip (1). The plastic grip
(1)must later be attached.
3.Set the console (2) on the frame. Reach under the console (2) and slip the end of the parking brake rod (3) through the hole in the console (2).
4.Slip the wiring harness (6) through the hole for the ignition switch. Attach the ignition switch (7) to the wiring harness (6).
5.(Figure 3) Push down the ignition switch
(7).The ignition switch (7) will snap in place.
6.Attach the plastic grip (1) onto the end of the parking brake rod (3).
7.Attach the console (2) to the frame with four screws (8).
8.(Figure 4) Slide the steering wheel (4) and steering post (5) into the console (2). Push on the steering wheel (4). The steering post (5) will lock onto the pinion gear. Pull on the steering wheel (4). Make sure that the steering post (5) is locked in place.
How To Charge The Battery (Figure 5)
WARNING: When you charge the battery, do not smoke. Keep the battery away from any sparks. The
fumes from the battery acid can cause an explosion.
1.To disconnect the battery retainer (2) from the battery tray (3), push in on the lower end of the battery retainer (2).
2.Remove the battery (1) from the right side of the unit.
3.Remove the protective caps from the battery terminals.
4.Use a 12 volt battery charger to charge the battery (1). Charge at a rate of 6 amperes for one hour. If you do not have a battery charger, have an authorised Hayter dealer charge the battery.
5.Install the battery (1) and secure with the battery retainer (2). Make sure the positive
(+) terminal (4) is on the right side.
How To Install The Battery Cables (Figure 5)
WARNING: To prevent sparks, fasten the red cable to the positive (+) terminal before you connect the black
cable.
1.Remove the protective caps from the battery terminals.
2.Fasten the red cable (5) to the positive (+) terminal (4) with the fasteners (6) and (7).
3.Fasten the black cable 8 to the negative
How To Prepare The Engine
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of petrol and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the information on safety, oper- ation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manu- facturer’s instructions for the type of petrol and oil to use. Always use a
safety petrol container. Do not smoke when adding petrol to the engine. When inside an enclosure, do not fill with petrol. Before you add petrol, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for several minutes.
Important! Before You Start Mowing
rCheck the engine oil.
rFill the fuel tank with petrol.
rCheck the level of the mower hous- ing.
rCheck the air pressure of the tyres.
rAttach the battery cables.
Final Assembly
