Poulan 96042011300 Manual De Usuario

Your tractor has a battery charging system which is suf fi cient 

for normal use.  However, periodic charging of the battery 

with an automotive charger will extend its life.
•  Keep battery and terminals clean.
•  Keep battery bolts tight.
•  Keep small vent holes open.
•  Recharge at  6-10 amperes for 1 hour.
NOTE: The original equipment battery on your tractor is 

maintenance free. Do not attempt to open or remove caps 

or covers. Adding or checking level of electrolyte is not 

nec es sary.

Always observe safety rules when per form ing any main-

 te nance.
BRAKE OPERATION
If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest 

speed in high est gear on a level, dry concrete or paved 

surface, then brake must be checked and ad just ed.
TIRES
•  Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See side of 

tire for proper air pressure).

• 

Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemi-

 cals which can harm rubber.

•  Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and 

other hazards that may cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and pre vent flat tires due 

to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your 

local parts dealer. Tire sealant also pre vents tire dry rot 

and corrosion.
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYS TEM AND REVERSE OP-

ERATION SYSTEM (ROS) (SEE FIG. 13)
Be sure operator presence and reverse operation sys tems 

are work ing properly.  If your tractor does not function as

the operator is in the seat.

CHECK REVERSE OPERATION (ROS) SYSTEM

•  When the engine is running with the ignition switch in 

the engine "ON" position and the at tach ment clutch

•  When the engine is running with the ignition switch in 

the ROS "ON" position and the at tach ment clutch en-

gaged, any attempt by the operator to shift into reverse 

should NOT shut off the engine.
