Keep the electrolyte level above the plates in each
cell by adding distilled water, as it becomes
necessary. Add water just before operating the
mower to mix the water with solution. Be careful
not to over fill the battery, the electrolyte solution is
corrosive and can cause damage to surrounding
metal parts if it should spill. Keep your battery at
1.260 specific gravity charge. When taking the
battery out of the mower for servicing, make sure
to reconnect the cables to the Battery, exactly as
they were prior to removal. Keep the battery clean.
Remove corrosion around the battery terminals by
applying a solution of one part baking soda to
four parts water. Coat all exposed terminal
surfaces with a light layer of grease or petroleum
jelly to prevent corrosion.
DRIVE BELTS:
All drive belts are spring loaded and self-
tensioning, however, after the first 8-10 hours of
operation, the belts should be checked for proper
alignment and wear. There after check the belts
every 40 hours of operation or weekly, whichever
occurs first.
TIRES:
Correct tire pressure is essential for efficient
operation of the mower. Check tire air pressure
periodically. Inflate tires to the pressure listed:
Front Tires 20 to 22 psi
Dive tires 12 to 14 psi
Lug nuts should be checked regularly for
tightness. Torque lug nuts to 50ft./lbs. The center
hub nut should be torqued to 175-200ft./lbs.
BRAKES:
After the first 40 hours of use check brakes for
adjustment. Brakes are adjusted by setting the
lock collars on the brake rods located by each
drive wheel. There must be 1/8 to 1/4 inch of gap
between the lock collar and swivel with the brake
in the ON position. This distance should be
checked bi-weekly. After adjusting the lock collar,
you may have to also adjust the brake link by
pulling the hair pin clip and adjusting swivel
accordingly.
