  4.  With cell caps removed, connect battery charger to 
battery terminals; RED to positive (+) and BLACK to 
negative (-) terminal. 
  5. If time allows, slow charge at 1 amp for 10 hours, or 
as an alternative, fast charge at not more than 2.5 
amps for 4 hours to bring the battery to full charge. 
NOTE: Slow charging is recommended and extends 
battery life. 
  6.  After charging, check level of electrolyte and add as 
needed to bring level to 3/16” above cell plates. 
  7.  Reinstall cell caps. 
 
WARNING 
Keep sparks and flames away from battery at all times!  
Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse empty acid containers 
with water and mutilate before discarding.  If acid is 
spilled on battery, bench, or clothing, etc., flush with clear 
water and neutralize with baking soda or ammonia 
solution. 
 
STEP 3:  BATTERY INSTALLATION 
1. Carefully place the charged battery, with terminals 
toward front of tractor as shown on decal, in the 
tractor battery compartment.  See Figure 1. 
2.  Retrieve plastic bag from under the hood, on top of 
gas tank.  Remove nuts and bolts from plastic 
hardware bag. 
3.  Connect positive (+) cable (red) from wiring harness 
to the positive terminal (+) on battery using bolt and 
nut provided in hardware bag. 
4. Connect negative (-) cable (black) to negative 
terminal (-) on battery using bolt and nut.  
Note: Shield the positive terminal with terminal cover 
located on battery harness.  This prevents metal 
from touching the positive terminal which could 
cause sparks. 
5. Reinstall seat/pedestal assembly and tighten seat 
knobs securely.  DO NOT operate tractor without the 
seat/pedestal assembly installed properly because it 
serves as the battery hold down. 
 
STEP 4:  STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION 
1.  Place steering wheel over steering shaft located on 
tractor.  Align hole in steering shaft with holes in 
steering wheel and insert roll pin. Tap roll pin with 
hammer gently through steering wheel and shaft until 
roll pin is centered on the shaft. Do not use 
excessive force! (See Figure 2)

Step 5:  REDUCE TIRE PRESSURE 
1.  The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Reduce tire 
pressure in front tires to 12 PSI and in rear tires to 12 
PSI. 
 
STEP 6: INSTALL OPERATOR’S SEAT  
Some models are shipped with the seat, hinge rod and 
hair pin already installed. On those models verify all seat 
hardware is tight and that the hair pin is inserted fully into 
the hinge rod and is between the hinge plate and seat 
pedestal. See Figure 4. All models will require the 
installation of the two seat cushions. 
 
IMPORTANT:  THE LOCATION OF THE HAIR PIN IN 
THE HINGE ROD IS CRITICAL. TO PROPERLY 
RETAIN THE HINGE ROD, THE HAIR PIN MUST BE 
BETWEEN THE HINGE PLATE AND THE SEAT 
PEDESTAL AND INSERTED FULLY INTO THE HINGE 
ROD. 
 
1.  To install the seat, remove hair pin from hinge rod 
and slide hinge rod from seat pedestal. See Figure 3. 
2.  Check seat bolts to insure hinge plate is tightened 
securely to the bottom of the seat.  See Figure 3. 
3.  Align hinge plate with the seat pedestal assembly 
and insert hinge rod.  See Figure 3. 
IMPORTANT: Hinge rod must protrude past both sides 
of the hinge plate and be positively retained by the 
hair pin. 
4.  Insert hair pin fully into hinge rod.  The hair pin must 
be between the hinge plate and the seat pedestal.  
See Figure 4. 
5.  Check for 5/16” flat washer under head of each seat 
knob.  Install washer, if missing, and tighten 
securely.  See Figure 5. 
6.  Install seat cushions by pushing into receptacles 
located in seat pedestal.  Seat must move freely on 
hinge and depress cushions.  See Figure 5.
