SECTION 3:  TRACTOR SET-UP
Attaching the Battery Cables
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 protect it from corrosion.
Lift the tractor’s hood and remove the hex bolt and 
wing nut from the negative cable (thick black wire). 
Remove the black plastic cover, if present, from the 
negative battery terminal and attach the negative 
cable to the negative battery terminal (–) with the 
bolt and wing nut.

NOTE: 
If the battery is put into service after the date
shown on top of battery, charge as instructed on page
25
 of this manual prior to operating the tractor.
Gas and Oil Fill-up
The gasoline tank is located under the fender and has a 
capacity of three gallons. Unthread the fuel cap by 
turning it counterclockwise. Use only clean, fresh 
(under 30 days old), unleaded gasoline. Fill tank to no 
more than four inches below the top of the filler neck to 
allow space for fuel expansion. Do not overfill. 
WARNING: 
Use extreme care when
handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Never fuel machine indoors or while the
engine is hot or running. Extinguish
cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of
ignition.
IMPORTANT:
 Your tractor is shipped with oil in the 
engine. However, you MUST check the oil level before 
operating. Refer to 
Checking the Oil Level 
on page 19 for 
detailed instructions. Be careful not to overfill.
Shipping Brace Removal
WARNING: 
Make sure the riding mower’s
engine is off, set the parking brake and
remove the ignition key before removing the
shipping brace
.
Locate the shipping brace and warning tag found 
on the right side of the cutting deck. See Figure 2.
Figure 2
While holding the discharge chute 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.
NOTE: 
Series 1500 tractors come equipped with a
mulch plug installed inside the chute opening. Do NOT
discard it. Refer to 
Mulching
 on page 16 for detailed
information regarding your tractor’s mulching feature.
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. Operating the tractor
