Tires
It is important for your safety and the safety of others that
the tires have correct air pressure. Check air pressure in
all four tires before each use. Visually inspect tires for
loss of air throughout each day of operation. See “Tire
Inflation Chart” on page 63 for correct tire pressure.
Electrical System
Refer to Figure 5-6:
The mower is equipped with a 12 volt negative ground
electrical system powered by a battery located under the
seat. Recommended replacement battery size is a
maintenance-free garden mower BCI group U1R with
225 or better cold cranking AMPs (CCA). Follow battery
manufacturer’s maintenance, safety, storing and
charging specifications.

WARNING
Incorrect battery cable connections can damage the mower’s
electrical system and cause battery cables to spark. Sparks
around a battery can result in a battery gas explosion and
personal injury.
• Always disconnect negative (black) battery cable before
disconnecting positive (red) cable.
• Always reconnect positive (red) battery cable to the
positive (+) post before reconnecting negative (black) cable
to the negative (-) post.
!
WARNING
Acid can cause serious injury to skin and eyes. Avoid skin
contact with battery acid and always wear eye protection when
checking the battery. Flush area with clean water and call a
physician immediately. Acid will also damage clothing.

WARNING
Do not allow an open flame near the battery when charging.
Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is both toxic
and flammable and may cause an explosion if exposed to a
flame.
!
WARNING
Keep battery terminals from touching any metal mower parts
when removing or installing the battery. Do not allow metal
tools to short between the battery terminals and metal mower
parts. Shorts caused by battery terminals or metal tools
touching metal mower components can cause sparks. Sparks
can cause a battery gas explosion which will result in personal
injury.
!
WARNING
Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte may overflow and damage
paint, wiring or structure. When cleaning the battery, use soap
and water. Be careful not to get soap and water into the
battery. Use soda mixed in water to clean corrosion off the
terminals.
Common circuit problems are usually caused by
electrical shorts, corroded or dirty terminals, loose
connections, defective wire insulation or broken wires.
Switches, solenoids and ignition components may also
cause a short or open circuit.
Refer to Figure 5-7:
The electrical system is protected by fuses located along
the wire harness beneath the seat next to the engine.
They are:
•
Main - 20 Amp, blade type
•
