Weak Battery
If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should
be recharged. (See Battery in the Maintenance
section.)
Jumper Cables Use
• Connect each end of the RED cable to the
POSITIVE (+) terminal on each battery, taking
care not to short against chassis.
• Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the
NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the fully charged battery.
• Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to a
good CHASSIS GROUND on the mower with the
discharged battery, away from the fuel tank and
battery.
To remove cables, reverse order
• Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then
from the fully charged battery.
• Remove RED cable last from both batteries.
