CALiFORNiA PROPOSiTiON 65 WARNING!
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION: When attaching battery cables, always
connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal first,
followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.
For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment
may have been left disconnected from the terminals at the
factory. To connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:
NOTE:The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The
negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (-).
NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip ahead
to step 2.
1. Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the positive
battery terminal and attach the red cable to the positive
battery terminal (+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Fig. 3-3.
Figure 3-3
2. Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the negative
battery terminal and attach the black cable to the negative
battery terminal (-) with the bolt and hex nut. See Fig. 3-3.
3. Position the red rubber boot over the positive battery
terminal to help protect it from corrosion.
NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown
on top/side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in the
Maintenance section your Operator's Manual prior to operating
the tractor.
CheckingTire Pressure
WARNING! Never exceed the maximum inflation
pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire. Do not
overinflate tires. Check sidewall of tires for maximum
psi. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all
times.
The tires on your tractor may be over inflated for shipping
purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating the tractor.
Check sidewall of tires for maximum psi.
Setting the DeckGaugeWheelsand Roller
Move the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably
pavement, and proceed as follows
1. Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing
the deck lift lever in the normally desired mowing height
setting (any of the six different cutting height notches on
the right fender).
2. Check the gauge wheels for contact or excessive clearance
with the surface below. The deck gauge wheels should
have between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch clearance above the
ground.
If the gauge wheels have excessive clearance or contact with the
surface, adjust as follows:
a. Raise the deck lift handle to its highest setting.
b. Remove the front gauge wheels by removing the
lock nuts and shoulder screws which secure them to
the deck. See Fig. 3-4
Figure 3-4
c. Place the deck lift lever in the desired mowing
height setting.
d. Reinsert the shoulder screw (with each gauge
wheel) into the index hole that leaves approximately
1/2-inch between the bottom of the wheel and the
pavement.
e. Remove the clevis pins and hairpin clips from the
deck roller brackets on the left and right sides of the
cutting deck. See Fig. 3-4.
