5.Connect the black cable (8) to the negative
6.Connect the battery retainer (4).
7.Install the battery cover (2) using two screws (1).
Level the Mower Deck
If the mower deck is level, the blade will cut easier and the lawn will look better.
WARNING
Before you make an inspection, adjustment, or repair to the unit, disconnect the wire to the spark plug. Remove the spark plug wire to prevent the engine from starting by accident.
1.Make sure the unit is on a hard flat surface (1) (see Figure 24).
2.Check the air pressure in the tires (2). If the air pressure is incorrect, the mower deck will not cut level. Make sure the tires are inflated to: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI).
3.Remove the one gauge wheel from the front of the mower deck (Figure 25) and the two gauge wheels in the rear of the mower deck (Figure 26).
