Installing the Battery
Parts needed for this procedure:
2
Carriage bolt (5/16 x 3/4 inch)
2
Nut (5/16 inch)
Procedure
1. Mount the battery with the battery terminals toward
the front of the machine.
2. Connect the positive battery cable (red) from the
starter solenoid to the positive post (+) of the battery
(Figure

sure that the cable will clear the seat, in the rear-most
position, which could cause wear or damage to the
cable.
WARNING
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal tractor 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 tractor.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of
the tractor.
