Attaching the Battery Cables
NOTE: This unit may have been shipped with the battery cables 
already connected.  If not, follow the instructions below for 
attaching the battery cables.
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 hex bolt and hex nut at 
the factory. Make certain that the rubber boot covers the 
terminal to help protect it from corrosion.
Remove the hex bolt and hex 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 nut.
NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown 
on top/side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in the 
Service section of this manual prior to operating the tractor.
Shipping Brace Removal
WARNING! 
Make sure the riding mower’s engine is 
off, remove the ignition key, and set the parking 
brake before removing the shipping brace. Refer to 
the Controls and Features section for instructions on 
how to set the parking brake.
Locate the shipping brace, if present, and accompanying 
warning tag found on the right side of the mower, between 
the discharge chute and the cutting deck. See Fig. 3-2.
Place the deck lift lever in the highest cutting position. 
Refer to Setting the Cutting Height in the Operation 
section of this manual.
While pushing the discharge chute towards the machine 
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.
WARNING! 
The shipping brace, used for packaging 
purposes only, must be removed and discarded 
before operating your riding mower.
WARNING! 
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.
