IMPORTANT INFORMATION The mower is equipped
with a 12-volt negative grounded system. The other vehicle
must also be a 12-volt negative grounded system. Do not
use your mower to start other vehicles.
CAUTION! Lead-acid batteries generate explosive
gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away
from batteries. Wear eye protection when around batteries.
Weak Battery
If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be
recharged. (See Battery in the Maintenance section.)
For emergency starting:
Jumper Cable Use
1. Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+)
terminal on each battery, taking care not to short against
chassis.
2. Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-)
terminal of the fully charged battery.
3. 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
1. Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the
fully charged battery.
2. Remove RED cable last from both batteries.
Battery Voltage Light
A battery voltage light can indicate that voltage is below
the normal operating power.
If the battery is low when a start attempt is made, the
battery indicator button will light up. This is an indication
the battery should be charged. It will not prevent
additional start attempts as long as remaining charge
is capable of cranking the engine. The button can also
indicate a charge system failure if it lights up during
operation.
Checking Battery Charge System
When unit is in ready mode (blinking green), press
and hold the battery button for three seconds. The S/S
button indicator will show red (battery charge level is
low), multi-colored (battery charge is marginal) or green
(battery level is good) until the battery button is pressed
again or is allowed to reset after ten seconds.
