Electrical System
The electrical system is a 12 volt, negative ground.
Recommended battery size is a garden mower BCI group
U1R with 225 or better cranking AMP rating. A
maintenance-free battery is recommended. Otherwise,
follow battery manufacturer’s maintenance, safety, storing
and charging specifications.
The battery is located under the seat. Refer to Figure 4-2.

WARNING!
Avoid skin contact with battery acid. Always wear eye
protection when checking the battery, acid can cause serious
injury to skin and eyes. If contact occurs, flush area with clean
water and call physician immediately. Acid will also damage
clothing. Do not allow open flame near the battery when
charging. Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is
both toxic and flammable and may cause an explosion if
exposed to flame. Always remove the negative ground first and
replace it last. Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte may overflow
and damage paint, wiring or structure. When cleaning the
battery, use soap and water. Be careful not to get soap and
water into the battery. Use soda mixed in water to clean
corrosion off the terminals.
!
WARNING!
Shorts caused by battery terminals or metal tools touching
metal tractor components can cause sparks. Sparks can cause a
battery gas explosion which will result in personal injury.
Prevent the battery terminals from touching any metal tractor
parts when removing or installing the battery. Do not allow
metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal
tractor parts.
!
WARNING!
Incorrect battery cable routing can cause damage to the tractor
and battery cables. This can cause sparks which can cause a
battery gas explosion which will result in personal injury.
Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before
disconnecting the positive (red) cable.
Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before
connecting the negative (black) cable.
Common circuit failures are usually caused by shorting,
corroded or dirty terminals, loose connections, defective
wire insulation or broken wires. Switches, solenoids and
ignition components may also fail, causing a shorted or
open circuit.
The electrical system is protected by fuses located on the
right fuel tank instrument panel. The fuses are as follows:
Main - 20 Amp, blade type
Clutch/Aux. - 10 Amp, blade type
Before attempting any failure diagnosis of electrical
system, use a test light or voltmeter to check battery
voltage. If battery voltage is satisfactory, check
cleanliness and tightness of terminals and ground
connections. A general understanding of electrical
servicing and use of basic test equipment is necessary for
troubleshooting and repair.
Major overhaul or repair of starting motor or alternator
should be performed by trained technicians only.
