Electrical Cable Connection

Refer to Figure 1-6:
!
WARNING
Incorrect battery cable connections can damage the mower's
electrical system and cause battery cables to spark. Sparks
around a battery can result in a battery gas explosion and
personal injury.
• Always disconnect negative (black) cable from battery
before disconnecting positive (red) cable.
• Always reconnect positive (red) cable to the battery's
positive (+) post before reconnecting negative (black) cable
to the battery's negative (-) post.
!
WARNING
Keep battery terminals from touching any metal mower parts
when removing or installing battery. Do not allow metal tools
to short between battery terminals and metal mower parts.
Shorts caused by battery terminals or metal tools touching
metal mower components can cause sparks. Sparks can cause
a battery gas explosion which can result in personal injury.
IMPORTANT: The black negative battery cable is
disconnected before leaving the factory and is to be
disconnected after initial dealer set-up to prevent
battery discharge while sitting on the dealer lot.
Attach black battery cable (#3) to the negative post with
1/4"-20 x 3/4" GR5 serrated screw (#1) and hex whiz
nut (#2). Tighten whiz nut to the correct torque.

Engine Preparations

1. Check engine oil level at the dipstick. Add oil if below
full mark. Do not overfill. Refer to Engine Operator's
Manual for oil recommendation and to "Engine Oil &
Oil Filter" on page 43 in this manual.
NOTE: Mowers are shipped from the factory
without fuel in the fuel tanks.
2. First read instructions under "Fuel System" on page
41 and then add a small amount of gasoline with fuel
stabilizer to the fuel tank.
