Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer and

reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

When attaching battery cables, always

connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal first,

followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.

For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment

may have been left disconnected from the terminals at the

factory. To connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:
NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The

negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).
1.

Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the positive

battery terminal and attach the red cable to the positive

battery terminal (+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-1.

2.

Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the negative

battery terminal and attach the black cable to the negative

battery terminal (–) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-1.

3.

Position the red rubber boot over the positive battery

terminal to help protect it from corrosion.

NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown

on top/side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in the

Maintenance section your Operator’s Manual prior to operating

the tractor.

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 Figure 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.

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.
