7. WASTE DISPOSAL

7.1 MOTOR OIL DISPOSAL.

Engine oil and hydraulic oil are both pollutants to the environment. Dispose of used oil
at a certified recycling center or according to your state and local regulations.

7.2 BATTERY DISPOSAL

POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, which is
poisonous and can cause severe burns
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Swallowing electrolyte can be fatal or if it touches skin
can cause severe burns.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Wear safety glasses to shield eyes, and rubber gloves
to protect skin and clothing when handling electrolyte.
♦ Do not swallow electrolyte.
Federal law states that batteries should not be placed in the garbage. Management and
disposal practices must be within relevant federal, state, or local laws.
If a battery is being replaced or if the unit containing the battery is no longer operating
and is being scrapped, take the battery to a local certified recycling center. If no local
recycling is available return the battery to any certified battery reseller.

8. TROUBLE SHOOTING

8.1 MOWER CUTS UNEVENLY.

a) Check air pressure in tires. See Section 2.8. A more uniform cutting height may be
obtained with higher tire pressure on rough terrain. A lower tire pressure provides
more flotation.
b) Check deck support pins. Hairpin clips must be in the same hole on each support pin.
c) Check blades tip to tip for straightness. Blades should be within 3/16" or one blade
width from being in line.

8.2 ENGINE WILL NOT START.

a) Make sure battery has a full charge.
b) Check that throttle control is midway between "slow" and "fast" positions, and choke
is in "on" position for a cold engine or "off" position for a warm engine.
c) Be sure there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel valve is open.
d) Operator must be in the seat.
e) Check that parking brake is set.
f) Be sure that the PTO is disengaged.
g) Check that the spark plug wires are properly connected.
h) Look for loose or faulty wiring connections.
i) Check for corrosion at all wiring connections. Even minor corrosion may cause a
faulty connection. Clean connector terminals thoroughly and reconnect.
NOTE: When disconnecting electrical connectors, DO NOT pull on the wires to
separate connectors.
j) Check that the seat switch is properly adjusted. See Section 6.2.12.
k) Check that the parking brake switch is properly adjusted. See Section 6.2.10.
