WARNING
Battery terminals or metal tools could short against
metal machine components causing sparks. Sparks
can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting
in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do not
allow the battery terminals to touch any metal
parts of the machine.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of the
machine.
WARNING
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the
machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can
cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting 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.
Storing the Battery
If the machine will be stored more than 30 days, remove the
battery and charge it fully. Either store it on a shelf or on
the machine. Leave the cables disconnected if it is stored on
the machine. Store the battery in a cool atmosphere to avoid
quick deterioration of the charge in the battery. To prevent
the battery from freezing, make sure it is fully charged. The
specific gravity of a fully charged battery is 1.265-1.299.
Drive System
Maintenance
Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Every 50 hours
Check the pressure after every 50 operating hours or monthly,
whichever occurs first.
Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires. The
correct air pressure is 25 psi (172 kPa) in the rear tires and 15
psi (103 kPa) in the front tires. If a cab is installed on the
machine, the front and rear tires should be inflated to 25
psi (172 kPa). Uneven tire pressure can cause uneven cut.
Check the tires when they are cold to get the most accurate
pressure reading.
Correcting Steering
Misalignment
Four Wheel Drive Models
1. Press the steering selector switch to the rearward (four
wheels steer) position (Figure 52).

Two and Four Wheel Drive Models
2. On a paved or dirt surface, turn the steering wheel to
the left or right and continue turning until all 4 wheels
have stopped turning. Automatic synchronization of
wheel alignment should occur.
Important: Doing this procedure on turf can
result in turf damage directly under each of the
turning tires.
