ANTI-SCALP ROLLERS (42" DECK)
Rollers are intended to prevent lawn scalping, not to
control cutting height.
For proper operation, adjust the anti-scalp rollers to the
same or higher than mower cutting height. For
example, when mowing at the number three (3) height
position, the anti-scalp rollers must be adjusted to their
number three (3) or higher position.
TO START ENGINE WITH A WEAK
BATTERY
If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should
be recharged. (See "BATTERY" in
Maintenance
.)
If "jumper cables" are used for emergency starting,
follow "Jump Starting" procedure.
IMPORTANT:
Your tractor is equipped with a 12 volt
negative grounded system. The other vehicle must also
be a 12 volt negative grounded system. Do not use
your tractor battery to start other vehicles.
Jump starting, battery charging or replacement is
required when the starter motor will not crank the
engine.
To Jump Start Engine:
1. Ensure battery is not frozen. If the fluid is frozen,
remove battery from unit and allow it to thaw
before charging.
2. The unit used for jump starting should have a
12 volt battery with at least 500 cold cranking
amperes and a negative grounded system.
3. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the
positive terminal of the discharged battery.
4. Connect the other end of the same jumper cable
to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery.
5. Connect one end of the second jumper cable to
the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery.
6. Make the final jumper cable connection to the
engine block or the furthest ground point away
from the discharged battery.
