See Figures 4 - 5.
When shipped from the factory, the mower's batteries are

To connect:
 Place the joystick in the neutral and locked position. (See
Learning to Drive the Mower in the Operation section
of the operator's manual.)
 Adjust the seat all the way forward.
 Press the center edge on the battery compartment cover
to release the latch. The cover will raise to gain access

batteries.
 Lower the lid to the battery compartment and press on
the center edge to engage the lock.
NOTE: Make sure the battery compartment cover is se-

sure the safety interlock cable is still connected.
CONNECTING THE 40V BATTERIES
See Figures 6 - 8.
When shipped from the factory, the mower's batteries are
disconnected.
To connect:
 Open the battery covers located on each side of the
mower.
 Raise the battery from the port.
 Remove the foam ring from the bottom of the port.
 To reinstall, align the raised ribs on the battery pack with
grooves in the battery port and install the battery pack
into the mower.
 Make sure the latch is securely locked into place.
 Lower the battery cover and make sure it is closed securely.
 Repeat the steps for the other batteries.
WARNING:
Make sure the latch on the bottom of the battery packs
snaps in place and the battery pack is fully seated and
secure in the mower's battery port before beginning
operation. Failure to securely seat the battery packs could
cause the battery packs to fall out, resulting in serious
personal injury.
For complete charging instructions, refer to the Operator's
Manuals for your battery packs and charger models.
