Walker Mowers are shipped partially assembled. After uncrating the tractor and mower deck, initial setup is required.

NOTE: During the process of unpacking, any dam- aged or missing parts should be noted and reported to the delivering carrier immediately (put in writing within 15 days). The carrier will provide directions for proceeding with a claim to receive compensation for damage.

Tire Installation (Tractor)

Check and adjust the inflation of the tires. The tire inflation recommendations are:

Drive = 15 PSI (103 kPa)

Rear = 20 PSI (137 kPa)

Battery Service

Raise front mower body up for battery access (refer to Front Body Latch Release in Operating Instruc- tions). Check the battery for electrolyte level and charge. The electrolyte level should be at the bot- tom of the vent wells [1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) above plates]. If the specific gravity is less than 1.225, the battery needs charging. If the battery has been shipped dry, or is wet but needs service, refer to the following instructions.

Wet Battery Service

If the battery has been shipped wet, but the electro- lyte level is low or the battery needs to be charged then:

1.Fill each battery cell with drinking water to the bottom of the vent wells.

2.Charge battery. Refer to Battery Charging in this section.

IMPORTANT: Battery must be removed from the mower before filling with electrolyte.

IMPORTANT: Obtain and use only battery grade sulfuric acid electrolyte with a 1.265 spe- cific gravity to activate the battery. DO NOT use water or any other liquid during initial activation.

2.Remove the filler caps and carefully fill each cell until the electrolyte is just above the plates.
