The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid 
levels cannot be checked and fluid can not be added.

•

Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean 
and free of corrosive build-up.

•

After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a 
light coat of petroleum jelly or grease to both 
terminals 

•

Always keep the rubber boot positioned over the 
positive terminal to prevent shorting.

 If removing the battery, disconnect the 

NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s terminal first, followed 
by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. When re-installing the 
battery, always connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire its 
terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire. 
Be certain that the wires are connected to the correct 
terminals; reversing them could change the polarity and 
cause damage to your engine’s alternating system.

Never jump start a damaged or

frozen battery. Be certain the vehicles do not
touch, and ignitions are off. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch.

•

Connect positive (+) cable to positive post (+) of 
your tractor’s discharged battery.

•

Connect the other end of the cable to the (positive 
+) post of the jumper battery.

•

Connect the second cable (negative –) to the other 
post of the jumper battery.

•

Make the final connection on the engine block of 
the stalled tractor, away from the battery. Attach to 
a unpainted part to assure a good connection.

 If the jumper battery is installed on a 

vehicle (i.e. car, truck), do NOT start the vehicle’s 
engine when jump starting your tractor.

•

Start the tractor (as instructed on page 13). 

•

Set the tractor’s parking brake before removing the 
jumper cables, in reverse order of connection.

•

Allow the tractor’s engine to run in the FAST 
position for at least 15 minutes to allow the 
alternating system time to charge the battery.

If the unit has not been put into use for an extended 
period of time, charge the battery with an automotive-
type 12-volt charger for a minimum of one hour at a 
maximum of six amps.

Batteries give off an explosive

gas while charging. Charge battery in a well
ventilated area and keep away from an open
flame or pilot light as on a water heater, space
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.

To remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:
•

Place the PTO/Blade Engage knob in the 
disengaged (OFF) position and engage the parking 
brake.

•

Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the 
bottom notch on the right fender.

•

Remove the deck belt from around the tractor’s 
electric PTO clutch (refer to Changing the Deck Belt).

•

Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the 
tractor, locate the deck support pin on the rear left 
side of the deck.

•

Rotate the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor 
and release it. 

•

Pull the deck support pin outward to release the 
deck from the deck lift arm. See Figure 19.

•

Repeat the above steps on the tractor’s right side.

•

Move the deck lift lever into the top notch to raise 
the deck lift arms up and out of the way.

•

Gently slide the cutting deck toward the front of the 
tractor allowing the hooks on the deck to release 
themselves from the deck stabilizer rod.

•

Gently slide the cutting deck (from the right side) 
out from underneath the tractor.
