Note the relative position of the control lever to 
the pivot bracket, then repeat the previous steps to

same  position. 
Refer to “Adjusting Drive Control Levers” in Maintenance 
& Adjustments for instructions on final adjustment of 
the levers.
Position Rear Bumper
For shipping purposes the rear bumper is rotated upward 
from its normal position. To reposition the rear bumper, 
refer to Figure 3 and proceed as follows:
From inside the tractor frame, just behind the rear 
tires, remove the internal cotter pins from the clevis 
pins securing the bumper to each side of the frame.
While supporting the rear bumper, cut the cable tie 
fastening the bumper to the engine lift bracket, and 
remove the clevis pins from each side. See Figure 3-4.

Remove the bumper and reposition to align the notch 
at each end of the bumper with the spacer on each 
side of the frame. Slide the bumper notches onto the 
spacers. Refer to Figure 3-4.
Connect the Battery
WARNING!: Battery posts, terminals and 
related accessories contain lead and lead 
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
The tractor is shipped with an activated sealed battery, 
with the positive battery cable factory connected. The 
negative cable must be connected.
NOTE:
 
Make sure the ignition switch is in the “OFF” position 
before attaching the battery cable.
Pull the protective cap (if present) off the negative 
terminal of the battery, and remove the hex cap screw 
and nut from the free end of the negative battery 
cable.
Connect the negative battery cable (heavy black) to 
negative terminal (NEG) of the battery using the hex 
cap screw and nut. Slide the black terminal cover over 
the negative terminal of the battery.
Lower Deck Discharge Chute Deflector
WARNING!: Never operate the mower deck 
without the chute deflector installed and in the 
down position.
Check the mower deck for a shipping brace (w/tag) that 
may be holding the chute deflector upward for shipment.  
If a brace is present, it must be removed before operating 
the tractor. Holding the chute deflector fully upward, 
remove the shipping by grasping it and rotating it 
clockwise. Lower the chute deflector. See Figure 3-4.
