NOTE:  Any reference in this manual to the RIGHT or
LEFT side of the tractor is observed from operator’s
position.

NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+).
The negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).

•

The positive cable (heavy red wire) is secured to 
the positive battery terminal (+) with a carriage 
screw and hex nut at the factory. Make certain that 
the rubber boot covers the terminal to help protect it 
from corrosion.

•

Remove the shoulder bolt and wing nut from the 
negative cable. 

•

Remove the black plastic cover, if present, from the 
negative battery terminal and attach the negative 
cable (heavy black wire) to the negative battery 
terminal (–) with the bolt and the wing nut.

•

Make certain the hold-down strap is in position over 
the battery, securing it in place. See Figure 1.

NOTE:  If the battery is put into service after the date
shown on top of battery, charge the battery as

 on 

 

 

Make sure the riding mower’s

engine is off, remove the ignition key, and set
the parking brake before removing the
shipping brace

.

•

Locate the shipping brace and warning tag found 
on the right side of the mower, between the 
discharge chute and the cutting deck. See Figure 2.

•

While holding the discharge chute with your left 
hand, remove the shipping brace with your right 
hand by grasping it between your thumb and index 
finger and rotating it clockwise.

The shipping brace, used for

packaging purposes only, must be removed
and discarded before operating your riding
mower.

The mowing deck is capable of

throwing objects. Failure to operate the riding
mower without the discharge cover in the
proper operating position could result in
serious personal injury and/or property
damage.

Maximum tire pressure under

any circumstances is 30 psi. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained at all times.

The tires on your unit may be over-inflated for shipping 
purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating 
the tractor. Recommended operating tire pressure is 
approximately 10 p.s.i for the rear tires & 14 p.s.i. for 
the front tires. Check sidewall of tire for maximum p.s.i.

 

Your tractor is shipped with motor oil in the engine. However, you 

check the oil level before 

starting the engine and operating. Refer to the separate 

 Operator/Owner Manual packed with 

your tractor. Read instructions carefully.
