BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Battery

Unit comes equipped from the factory with a

maintenance-free battery that requires no

regular maintenance except cleaning the

terminals.

Removing the Battery

1. Disengage the mower PTO switch, put

the steering control levers in the park

position, turn the ignition key to "Off" and

remove the key.

2. Raise the seat and lock it in the upright

position.

3. Disconnect the negative battery cable

from the negative (–) battery terminal.

See Figure 19.

4. Slide the red boot off the positive (+)

battery terminal and remove the positive

battery cable.

5. Slide the rubber strap out from the

battery tray. Carefully release the strap

and slide the opposite end out of the

hooks on the battery tray.

6. Carefully remove the battery. Avoid

touching the terminal posts on any metal

parts.

Installing the Battery

1. Insert the battery (1) in the tray with the

battery terminals facing to the left.

2. Install the positive battery cable to the

positive (+) terminal on the battery. See

Figure 19.

3. Install the negative battery cable to the

negative (–) terminal on the battery.

4. Secure the cables by inserting a 1/4-20

x 5/8" carriage bolt through the battery

terminal and through the battery cable.

Secure it with a 1/4-20" whiz locknut.

5. Install the red boot over both the positive

(+) cable and positive terminal.

6. Secure the battery in place by inserting

one end of the hook band into the

battery tray and running the other end

over the top of the battery into the slot

on the opposite end of the battery tray.

Cleaning the Battery

Keep battery and its terminals clean. Inspect

every 100 operating hours or monthly for best

performance.

1. Remove battery from unit. See

Removing the Battery

on page 31.

2. Clean terminals and battery cable ends

with wire brush.

WARNING:

AVOID INJURY.

Read and understand entire

Safety

section before

proceeding.

WARNING:

Battery posts,

terminals and related accessories

contain lead and lead

compounds, chemicals known to

the State of California to cause

cancer and reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

WARNING:

The battery terminals

or metal tools could short against

the metal components of the

mower causing a spark that could

ignite explosive battery gases.

When removing the battery from

the mower, do not allow the

battery terminals to touch any part

of the machine. Do not allow

metal tools to touch metal parts of

the machine while in contact with

the battery terminals.
Incorrect battery cable routing

could damage the mower or

cause a spark that could result in

explosive battery gases being

ignited.

Always disconnect the black

(negative) battery cable before

disconnecting the red (positive)

battery cable. Always reconnect

the red (positive) battery cable

first before reconnecting the black

(negative) battery cable.
