Scag Power Equipment STT61V-29KB-DF Manuel D’Utilisation

R

Refer  to  the  batter y  charger’s  manual  for  specific 
instructions.

Under normal conditions the engine’s alternator will have 
no problem keeping a charge on the battery. If the battery 
has been completely discharged for a long period of time, 
the alternator may not be able to recharge the battery, 
and a battery charger will be required.

DO NOT charge a frozen battery. It may explode and 
cause injury. Let the battery warm before attaching a 
charger.

Whenever possible, remove the battery from the mower 
before charging and make sure the electrolyte covers the 
plates in all cells.

Charging rates between 3 and 50 amperes are satisfactory 
if excessive gassing or spewing of electrolyte does not 
occur or the battery does not feel excessively hot (over 
125°F). If spewing or gassing occurs or the temperature 
exceeds 125°F, the charging rate must be reduced or 
temporarily stopped to permit cooling.

The booster battery must be a 12 volt type. If a 

1. 

vehicle is used for jump starting, it must have a 
negative ground system.

When connecting the jumper cables, connect the 

2. 

positive cable to the positive battery post, then 
connect the negative cable to the negative battery 
post.

All drive belts are spring-loaded and self-tensioning, 
however after the first 2, 4, 8 and 10 hours of operation, 
the belts should be checked for proper alignment and 
wear. Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of 
operation or weekly, whichever occurs first.

Remove the ignition key before servicing the blades.

1. 

Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place 

2. 

the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height position 
to prevent the cutter deck from falling.

Check the cutter blades for straightness. If the cutter 

3. 

blades appear bent, they will need to be replaced.

If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be 

4. 

sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See 
"Blade Replacement."
