SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Figure 18
1.
Connect positive (+) cable to positive post (+) of your tractor's
discharged battery.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to the (positive +) post of the
jumper battery.
3.
Connect the second cable (negative –) to the other post of the
jumper battery.
4.
Make the final connection on the engine block of the tractor, away
from the battery. Attach to a unpainted part to assure a good
connection.
If the jumper battery is installed on a vehicle (i.e. car, truck), do NOT
start the vehicle's engine when jump starting your tractor.
5.
Start the tractor (as instructed earlier in this section of this
manual).
6.

CHARgiNg
Batteries give off an explosive gas while charging. Charge the 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.
When charging your tractor's battery, use only a charger designed for
12V lead-acid batteries. Read your battery charger's Owner's Manual
prior to charging your tractor's battery. Always follow its instructions
and heed its warnings.
If your tractor has not been put into use for an extended period of time,
charge the battery as follows:
1.
Set your battery charger to deliver a max of 10 amperes.
If your battery charger is automatic, charge the battery until the
charger indicates that charging is complete. If the charger is not
automatic, charge for no fewer than eight hours.
FUSe
One 20 AMP fuse is installed in your tractor's wiring harness to protect
the tractor's electrical system from 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. It can
be found at the rear of the unit, underneath the fender located by the
battery.
Always use a fuse with the same amperage capacity for replacement.
CUTTiNg bLADeS
Shut the engine off and remove ignition key before removing the
cutting blade(s) for sharpening or replacement. Protect your hands
by using heavy gloves when grasping the blade.
