Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service
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.
WARNING
Keep open flames and sparks away from the
battery; the gasses coming from it are highly
explosive. Ventilate the battery well during
charging.
CATCHER-FULL ALARM
ADJUSTMENT
There are two ways to adjust the “catcher full” alarm one
for grass volume and one for sensitivity.
GRASS VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
Sliding the paddle bracket (C, Figure 30) up increases
the volume of grass in the collector before the alarm
goes off. Sliding the paddle bracket (C) down decreases
the volume of grass in the collector before the alarm
goes off.
1. Loosen bracket hardware (B).
2. Slide paddle bracket (C) up or down.
3. Tighten bracket hardware (B).
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
Sliding the carriage bolt, washer and nut (D) up decreas-
es the sensitivity in the collector before the alarm goes
off. Sliding the carriage bolt, washer and nut (D) down
increases the sensitivity in the collector before the alarm
goes off.
1. Loosen carriage bolt, washer and nut (D).
2. Slide carriage bolt, washer and nut (D) up or down
the alarm paddle (A).
3. Tighten carriage bolt, washer and nut (D).
Note: It may be necessary to change the catcher-full
alarm as turf conditions change.
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 31). For more below-ground travel,
use the fourth link.

the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte tem-
perature is at least 60° F). Do not charge at a rate high-
er than 10 amps.
