FIGURE 6. INSTALLING THE BATTERY
BATTERY CHARGER
1. Your battery may be charged in your rider without
removing it or without disturbing the cable connectors
at the battery terminals.
2. Be sure the switch is in the 12 Volt position.
3. Connect battery clips to battery terminals. Clip wih
(+) mark connects to positive terminal of the battery.
Clip with no marking connects to negative terminal of
battery. (Red clips are -t- and black clips are -.) Be
sure that battery terminals are clean where charger
clips are to be connected. Move clips back and forth
several times to be sure a tight connection is made.
4. if sparking occurs at battery clips when connecting
them to battery terminals the clips should be reversed
on the battery terminals.
5. Make sure the voltage of the battery is the same
as that of the charger, as mentioned before. Connect
AC plug to an alternating current outlet of the same
voltage and frequency as shown on the name plate of
the charger. (To prevent short circuiting of the bat¬
tery charger, be sure to connect clips to battery ter¬
minals before plugging into the AC outlet.)
6. Your battery charger is equipped with an auto¬
matic circuit breaker which protects the charger against
short circuits and overloads which cause the circuit
breaker to trip open when they occur. After a short
cooling off period the circuit breaker will "reset" auto¬
matically and allow the charger to operate normally.
If the circuit-breaker trips open, make sure battery
connections are correct.
7. if the charger continues to trip and you have
checked your connections to see that they are correct,
the probable cause is in the battery, which may hav~
been allowed to discharge below its normal discharge
condition or it may have one or more shorted cells.
If this condition exists it will draw too much current
and cause the circuit breaker to trip on and ofF. This
will continue until the battery has recovered sufficient¬
ly to allow a normal charging current.
8. The charging rate depends upon the AC supply
voltage and the internal condition of the battery. Un¬
der certain of these conditions the charger may not
deliver its maximum charging rate to the battery, but
this should not be taken as an indication that the charg¬
er is inefficien.
9. The average time required to charge a battery is
8-10 hours for a completely discharged battery.
CONTROLS See figure 5.
This manual should be read in its entirety before you
operate your Riding Mower. The more you know and
understand about the machine and its operation, the
better job it will do for you. While reading the man¬
ual, compare the illustrations with your mower to fa¬
miliarize yourself with the locations of various con¬
trols, lubrication points, attachments and adjustment
features.
Study the operating instructions and safety precautions
thoroughly to insure proper functioning of your mow¬
er and to prevent injury to yourself and others. Be sure
to save this manual for future reference.
THROTTLE CONTROL
The throttle control is used to regulate the engine
speed and to activate the choke on the engine. To get
the maximum efficiency on cutting, the throttle should
be in the FAST position when operating the mower.
Pushing the throttle all the way forward, past FAST
will choke the engine. See figure 7.
IGNITION KEY
Recoil Model. The key must be turned to the ON po¬
sition before you pull the recoil handle to start the
engine. Remove the key when the mower is not in
use. Turn the key to the left to the OFF position to
stop the engine. See figure 12.
Electric Model. The key must be turned to the START
position to start the engine. After the engine is run¬
ning let the key return to the ON position. Remove the
key when the mower is not in use. Turn the key to the
OFF position to stop the engine. See figure 7.
