ENGINE:
For complete maintenance and
operating information for your engine,
please refer to your engine operating
and maintenance instructions furnished
by the engine manufacturer and
included in your Country Clipper Zero
Turning Radius Mower information
packet.
NOTE: Air intake screen must be kept
clean. If plugged, engine may be
seriously damaged by over heating.

BATTERY:
CAUTION
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE IS A POISONOUS
AND CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID
SOLUTION. AVOID SPILLING ON SKIN,
EYES, AND CLOTHING.
Keep the electrolyte level above the
plates in each cell by adding distilled
water as it becomes necessary. Add
water just before operating the mower to
mix the water with the solution. Be
careful not to overfill the battery -- the
electrolyte solution is corrosive and can
cause damage to surrounding metal
parts if it should spill. When taking the
battery out of the mower for servicing,
make sure to connect the cables to the
battery exactly as they were prior to
removal. Always disconnect the ground
( - ) wire first and always reconnect the
ground ( - ) wire last.
Keep the battery clean. Remove the
corrosion around the battery terminals
by applying a solution of one part baking
soda to four parts water. Coat all
exposed terminal surfaces with a light
layer of grease or petroleum jelly to
prevent corrosion.
NOTE: At temperatures below 32 degrees F (0
degrees C) the full charge state must be
maintained to prevent cell electrolyte
from freezing and causing permanent
battery damage.
