Assembly Instructions

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

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

NOTE: During the process of unpacking, any damaged 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)

•Install the drive tires using the eight (8) lug bolts that are supplied with the owner’s packet of materi- als. Drive tires are 18 x 8.50-10, 4-ply; rear tire is 2.80/2.50-4 Pneumatic (4-Ply).

•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

The battery is a completely sealed, non-serviceable battery.

IMPORTANT: Make sure battery is securely mounted in the frame. A loose battery may cause damage to the case resulting in acid leakage and severe damage to the machine. A hazard may be created by damage to critical working parts and safety systems.

Battery Charging

DANGER

BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES

•Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area, so that gases produced while charg- ing can dissipate.

•Keep sparks, flames, and smoking mate- rials away from the battery at all times.

•Make sure the battery charger is unplug- ged before connecting or disconnecting cables to the battery.

Limit initial charging current to 1000mA. Charge until battery voltage (under charge) reaches 14.40 to

14.70volts at 68°F (20°C). Hold at 14.40 to 14.70 volts until current drops to approximately 50mA. Battery is fully charged under these conditions, and charger should be disconnected.

NOTE: Due to the self-discharge characteristics of this type of battery, it is imperative that it be charged after 6-9 months of storage, otherwise permanent loss of capacity might occur as a result of sulfation.
