Battery Charging
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may be the
result of a defect in the charging system or other electrical
component. If there is any doubt about the cause of the
problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the battery,
follow the steps under Cleaning the Battery & Cables in the
Regular Maintenance Section.
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by the
battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings included in
the safety rules sections of this book. Charge the battery until
fully charged (until the specific gravity of the electrolyte is
1.250 or higher and the electrolyte temperature is at least
60° F). Do not charge at a rate higher than 10 amps.

Troubleshooting & Adjustments
WARNING
Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery;
the gasses coming from it are highly explosive.
Ventilate the battery well during charging.
Mower Lift Adjustment
Mower lift height can be adjusted using the mower lift chains.
For increased mower lift, use the thrid chain link (as shown in
Figure 11). For more below-ground travel, use the fourth link.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height adjustment lever (A, Figure 12) controls the
mower cutting height. Push the button to release the lever.
Move the lever back to raise the deck and forward to lower it.
Leveling The Mower
If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling. Unequal or
improper tire pressure may also cause an uneven cut. Make
sure tire pressure is correct as specified in Checking Tire
Pressure. See your dealer for assistance.
WARNING
Before checking mower, shut off PTO and engine,
remove the key, and allow all moving parts to stop.
