Maintaining

Your Lawn

Tractor

Be sure to shut the

engine off, remove

ignition key, discon-

nect the spark plug

wire(s) and ground

against the engine to

prevent unintended

starting before remov-

ing the cutting blade(s)

for sharpening or

replacement. Protect

your hands by using

heavy gloves or a rag

to grasp the cutting

blade.

6. Pull the deck support pin outward to release the deck

from the deck lift arm.

7. Rotate the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor

and release the pin into the hole provided.

8. Repeat the above steps on the tractor’s right side.
9. Move the deck lift lever into the top notch on the right

fender to raise deck lift arms up and out of the way.

10. Gently slide the cutting deck toward the front of the

tractor allowing the hooks on the deck to release
themselves from the deck stabilizer rod.

11. Gently slide the cutting deck (from the right side) out

from underneath the tractor.

Tires

WARNING: Never exceed the

maximum inflation pressure
shown on the sidewall of tire.

The recommended operating tire pressure is:
• Approximately 10 psi for the rear tires
• Approximately 14 psi for the front tires

IMPORTANT

: Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire

manufacturer’s recommended or maximum psi. Do not
overinflate. Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting
deck to mow unevenly.

Battery

The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid
levels cannot be checked.
• Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean

and free of corrosive build-up.

• After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a light

coat of petroleum jelly or grease to both terminals.

• Always keep the rubber boot positioned over the

positive terminal to prevent shorting.

IMPORTANT

: If removing the battery for any reason,

disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s terminal
first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. When
re-installing the battery, always connect the POSITIVE
(Red) wire its terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE
(Black) wire. Be certain that the wires are connected to
the correct terminals; reversing them could change the
polarity and result in damage to your engine’s alternat-
ing system.

Charging

If the tractor has not been put into use for an extended
period of time, charge the battery with an automotive-
type 12-volt charger for a minimum of

one hour at six

amps.

WARNING: Batteries give off an

explosive gas while charging.
Charge battery in a well ventilated
area and keep away from an open
flame or pilot light as on a water
heater, space heater, furnace,
clothes dryer or other gas appli-

ances.

Jump Starting

WARNING: When removing or

installing the battery, follow
these instructions to prevent the
screwdriver from shorting against
the frame.

IMPORTANT

: Never jump your tractor’s dead battery with

the battery of a running vehicle.

1. Connect end of one jumper cable to the positive

terminal of the good battery, then the other end to the
positive terminal of the dead battery.

2. Connect the other jumper cable to the negative

terminal of the good battery, then to the

frame of the

unit with the dead battery.

WARNING: Failure to use this
procedure could cause sparking,
and the gas in either battery could
explode.

Cleaning

Clean the battery by removing it from the tractor and
washing with a baking soda and water solution. If neces-
sary, scrape the battery terminals with a wire brush to
remove deposits. Coat terminals and exposed wiring with
grease or petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.

Battery Failures

Some common causes for battery failure are:
• incorrect initial activation • undercharging
• overcharging

• corroded connections

• freezing

These failures are NOT covered by your tractor’s
warranty.

WARNING

Never exceed the

maximum inflation

pressure shown on the

sidewall of the tire.
