OPERATION
To start an engine with a weak
battery
If your battery is too weak to start the engine,
it should be recharged. (See "Battery" in the
Maintenance Section.
If “jumper cables” are used for emergency
starting, follow this procedure:
To attach jumper cables
•
Connect each end of the RED cable to
the POSITIVE (+) terminal on each
battery, taking care not to short against
chassis.
•
Connect one end of the BLACK cable to
the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the fully
charged battery.
•
Connect the other end of the BLACK
cable to a good CHASSIS GROUND on
the mower with the discharged battery,
away from the fuel tank and battery.
To remove cables, reverse order
•
Remove BLACK cable first from chassis
and then from the fully charged battery.
•
Remove RED cable last from both
batteries.
WARNING!
Lead-acid batteries generate
explosive gases. Keep sparks,
flame and smoking materials
away from batteries. Always
wear eye protection when
around batteries.
