WARNING
When it is necessary to raise the mower
for any repair or service, use jackstands
to provide adequate support. DO NOT
rely on hydraulic or mechanical jacks.
Care should be taken to keep the blade bal-
anced. An unbalanced blade will cause exces-
sive vibration and eventual damage to mower
and engine.
• The blade can be sharpened with a file or on
a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen
while on the mower.
• To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8"
diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer.
(When using a cone balancer, follow the
instructions supplied with balancer.)
NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing the blade.
The lobes of the center hole may appear to be
centered, but are not.
• Slide blade on to an un-threaded portion of
the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt or pin
parallel with the ground. If the blade is
balanced, it should remain in a horizontal
position. If either end of the blade moves
downward, sharpen the heavy end until the
blade is balanced.

BATTERY

Your mower is equipped with a maintenance
free battery and does not need servicing.
However, periodic charging of the battery with
an automotive type battery charger will extend
its life.
• Keep battery and terminals clean.
• Keep battery bolts tight.
• Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour
NOTE:
Do not attempt to open or remove caps
or covers. Adding or checking level of
electrolyte is not necessary.
TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS
Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals
can cause the battery to "leak" power.
• Remove terminal guard.
• Disconnect BLACK battery cable first, then
the RED battery cable and remove the
battery from the tractor.
• Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.
• Clean terminals and battery cable ends with
wire brush until shiny.
• Coat terminals with grease or petroleum jelly
• Reinstall battery (See "REPLACING
BATTERY" in the SERVICE AND
ADJUSTMENT section of this manual).

V-BELTS

Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after
100 hours of operation and replace if necessary.
