4. Charging the Battery
Procedure
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 battery.
Charge the battery for 24 hours initially, then monthly
(every 25 starts) or as needed. Always use the charger
in a sheltered area and charge the battery at room
temperature (70°F or 22°C) whenever possible.
1. Connect the charger to the mower wire harness
located below the ignition key (Figure 8).
Figure 8
Important:
Use only the charger supplied with
the mower.
2. Plug the charger into a wall outlet.
When the battery no longer holds a charge, recycle or
dispose of the lead-acid battery according to local codes.
5. Install the Mulch Plug or
Grass Bag
Procedure
You must correctly install the mulch plug (for mulching
or side-discharging) or grass bag (for bagging) or
the
engine will not start .
The mower has a safety switch, located at the bottom
of a channel on the top, right rear of the mower, that
prevents the mower from operating without a mulch
plug or grass bag. This prevents the mower from
throwing debris at the operator through the rear chute.
For the switch to detect the presence of the mulch plug,
the top of the mulch plug lever must
lie fully in the
bottom of the channel (Figure 9).
