Wash hands after handling.
The tractor is shipped with a sealed

in the "OFF" position before attaching
the battery cables.
• Open the tractor hood. Remove the
upper bulkhead baffle from the front of
the dash panel by lifting upward on

negative terminal of the battery.
• Connect the black battery cable to
the negative battery post. Slide
