Tires
WARNING:
Never exceed maximum
inflation pressure shown on sidewall of the tire.
•
The recommended operating tire pressure is 10 psi
for the rear tires and 14 psi for the front tires
approximately. Refer to the tire sidewall for exact
tire manufacturer's recommendation. Do not
overinflate. Uneven tire pressure could cause the
cutting deck to mow unevenly.
Battery
The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid
levels cannot be checked. Listed below are some
general recommendations for proper use of battery.
•
Always keep battery cables and terminals clean
and free of corrosive build-up.
•
After cleaning, apply a light coat of petroleum jelly
or grease to both terminals.
•
Always keep the rubber boot positioned over the
positive terminal to prevent shorting.
•
If removing the battery for any reason, disconnect
the negative (black) wire from its terminal first,
followed by the positive (red) wire. When re-
installing the battery, always connect the positive
(red) wire to its terminal first, followed by the
negative (black) wire.
Be certain that wires are connected to the
IMPORTANT:
correct terminals; reversing them could change polarity
and cause damage to the engine's alternating system.
Charging

of time, charge the battery with an automotive-type 12-
volt charger for a minimum of one hour at six amps.
WARNING:
gas while charging. Charge battery in a well
ventilated area and keep away from an open
flame or pilot light as on a water heater, space
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.
Fuses
Two fuses are installed in your tractor's wiring harness
to protect the tractor's electrical system from any
potential damage caused by excessive amperage.
•
If the electrical system does not function, or your
tractor's engine will not crank, first check to be
certain that the fuse has not blown. One fuse can
be located under the hood mounted behind the top
of the dash panel on the support bar. The other can
be located under the seat mounted to the inside of
the tractor frame, next to the battery tray.
•
Pull the fuse out and inspect it to determine if it is
good or blown.
•
Replace with a new fuse if necessary.
Always use a fuse with the same
