Setup Procedures
The items in this section provide the information necessary
to fully assemble, test, and prepare the unit, that these
instructions were included with, for delivery to your customer.
The Quick Setup List provided on page 2 of this booklet
to help you identify and check that the items have been
performed.
Uncrating
1. Locate the transmission release levers (A, Figure 1)
underneath the engine deck of the machine and between
the two rear wheels on the transmission cradle (B).
There is one transmission release lever per transmission.
The transmission release lever opens and closes the
transmission bypass valve.

2. To open the transmission bypass valves (bypass position)
(C), move the transmission release lever up and pull it
towards the rear of the machine. When the second nut
(D) has passed through the hole, lower the rod down in
the slot so it will stay in the disengaged position. Repeat
the process for the other side of the zero-turn rider.
3. Push down on the parking brake lever to release the
parking brake.
4. Be sure there are no nails or sharp objects on the bottom
skid to puncture the zero-turn rider’s tires. Roll the zero-
turn rider forward off the bottom skid.
5. After moving the zero-turn rider, close the bypass valves
(run position) (E) by raising the transmission release
lever so that the back nut clears the slot, push the lever
towards the front of the machine. Repeat this process for
the other side of the zero-turn rider.
Connect the Battery Cables
WARNING
Battery acid can cause severe burns. Wear protective
gear when handling the battery.
Open flames and sparks can cause battery to explode.
BATTERY SAFETY RULES:
• Battery acid causes severe burns. Avoid contact with
skin.
• Wear eye protection when handling the battery.
• To avoid an explosion, keep flames and sparks away
from the battery, especially while charging.
• When installing the battery cables,
connect the
positive (+) cable first
and negative (-) cable last.
If not done in this order, the positive terminal can be
shorted to the frame by a tool.
1. Connect the red positive battery cable (B, Figure 2) to the
positive battery post.
2
2. Connect the black negative battery cable (A) to the
negative battery post.
Install the Ground Speed Control Levers
This procedure is only necessary if the ground speed control
levers are not factory-installed on your unit.
There is a LEFT-HAND (A, Figure 3) and a RIGHT-HAND
(B) control lever. When assembled to the base (C), the lever
base (D) should be pointing toward the rear of the machine as
shown in Figure 3.
