ATTACHING THE BATTERY CABLES

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

The positive cable (heavy red wire) is secured to the positive battery terminal (+) with a hex bolt and hex nut at the factory. Make certain that the rubber boot covers the terminal to help protect it from corrosion.

Remove the hex bolt and wing nut from the negative cable. Attach the negative cable (heavy black wire) to the negative battery terminal (–) with the bolt and wing nut.

Place the hold-down strap in position over the battery to secure it in place. See Figure 2.

GAS AND OIL FILL-UP

Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your tractor. Read instructions carefully.

IMPORTANT: Your tractor is shipped with oil; however, you MUST check the oil level before operat- ing. Be careful not to overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause the engine to smoke. This will result in poor engine performance and could cause permanent engine damage.

The gasoline tank is located under the hood and has a capacity of approximately two gallons. Do not overfill.

WARNING: Gasoline produces noxious fumes. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Always fill the fuel tank in a well ventilated area to avoid inhalation of gasoline fumes.

WARNING: Never smoke while fueling your tractor or fill the fuel tank while engine is running or while engine is hot.

WARNING: Do not fill closer than 1/2 inch from the top of the fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow for fuel expansion. If gasoline is accidently spilled, move tractor away from area of spill. Avoid creating any source of ignition until gasoline vapors have disappeared.

INSTALLING THE MULCH KIT

On units equipped with a 42-inch deck, the mulch kit is installed at the factory. To remove it, unfasten the wing knob found on the top of the cutting deck and carefully pull the mulch plug out from the discharge area of the deck.

On units equipped with a 46-inch deck, the mulch kit is packaged separately within the crate.
