Check the voltage of the battery with a digital
voltmeter. Locate the voltage reading of the battery in
the table and charge the battery for the recommended
time interval to bring the charge up to a full charge
of 12.6 volts or greater.

Important: Make sure the negative battery
cables are disconnected and the battery charger
used for charging the battery has an output of
16 volts and 7 amps or less to avoid damaging
the battery (see chart for recommended charger
settings).

motion control levers moved out in the neutral
lock position. The operator does not need to be
in the seat to start the engine.

Try to start with operator in seat, parking brake
disengaged, PTO disengaged and motion control
levers in the neutral lock position - starter must
not crank.

2. Check the kill circuits. Run engine at one-third
throttle, disengage parking brake and raise off
of seat (but do not get off of machine) engine
must initiate shutdown after approximately 1/2
second has elapsed (seat has time delay kill switch
to prevent cut-outs on rough terrain).

moving both levers in - engine must initiate
shutdown whether operator is on seat or not.
3. Check the PTO circuit. See the FR524, FR604,
and FR724 Operator’s manual to become familiar
with the deck operation. Open the folding
deck latches, disengage the park brake, move
the motion control levers in to neutral, and
disengage the PTO. Lower the deck until the
PTO switch arm is no longer depressing the PTO
“kill” switch (see Figure 9).
