Battery Service

Important Battery Service, Installation, and
Charging Tips For Electronic Fuel Injection
Engines:
● Do not allow the battery cables to touch
opposing terminals. When connecting bat-
tery cables attach the positive (+) cable to
positive (+) battery terminal first, followed
by negative (-) cable to negative (-) battery
terminal.
● Never start the engine when the cables
are loose or poorly connected to the bat-
tery terminals.
● Never disconnect battery while engine
is running.
● Never use a quick battery charger to
start the engine.
● Never "jump start" the engine using an-
other source. Electricity fluctuations can
damage the ECU (Electronic Control Unit).
● Always disconnect negative (-) battery
cable lead before charging battery, and
also unplug harness from ECU before per-
forming any welding on equipment.
Raise mower body up for battery access. Check the
battery for electrolyte level and charge. The electro­
lyte level should be at the bottom of the vent wells
[1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) above plates]. If the
specific gravity is less than 1.225, the battery needs
charging. If the battery has been shipped dry, or is
wet but needs service, refer to the following instruc­
tions.

bottom of the vent wells.
