2. Plug the charger into a wall outlet.
Note: When the battery no longer holds a charge,
recycle or dispose of the lead-acid battery according
to local codes.
Note: Your battery charger may have a 2-color LED display
that indicates the following states of charging:
•
A red light indicates that the charger is charging the
battery.
•
A green light indicates that the charger is fully charged or
the charger is disconnected from the battery.
•
A flashing light that alternates between red and green
indicates that the battery is nearly fully charged. This state
lasts only a few minutes until the battery is fully charged.

Replacing the Fuse

If the battery does not charge or the engine does not turn
with the electric starter, the fuse may be blown. Replace it
with a 40-amp plug-in type fuse.
Important: You cannot start the machine with the
electric starter or charge the battery unless you install
the fuse.
1. Unclip both ends of the battery cover and remove it
(Figure 38).

Lubricating the Wheel Gears

Service Interval: Yearly
1. Wipe the grease fittings just inside the rear wheels with
a clean rag (Figure 40).
2. Install a grease gun onto each fitting and gently apply 2
or 3 pumps of #2 multi-purpose, lithium-base grease.

Replacing the Blade

Service Interval: Every 25 hours
Important: You will need a torque wrench to install the
blade properly. If you do not have a torque wrench or are
uncomfortable performing this procedure, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline. If the
blade is damaged or cracked, replace it immediately. If the
blade edge is dull or nicked, have it sharpened or replace it.
