CAUTION
Important Battery Service, Installation, and
Charging Tips For Electronic Fuel Injection
Engines:
●
Do not allow the battery cables to touch
opposing terminals. When connecting bat-
tery cables attach the positive (+) cable to
positive (+) battery terminal first, followed
by negative (-) cable to negative (-) battery
terminal.
●
Never start the engine when the cables
are loose or poorly connected to the bat-
tery terminals.
●
Never disconnect battery while engine
is running.
●
Never use a quick battery charger to
start the engine.
●
Never “jump start” the engine using an-
other source. Electricity fluctuations can
damage the ECU (Electronic Control Unit).
●
Always disconnect negative (-) battery
cable lead before charging battery, and
also unplug harness from ECU before per-
forming any welding on equipment.
Raise mower body up for battery access. Check the
battery for electrolyte level and charge. The electro
lyte level should be at the bottom of the vent wells
[1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm) above plates]. If the
specific gravity is less than 1.225, the battery needs
charging. If the battery has been shipped dry, or is
wet but needs service, refer to the following instruc
tions.

Wet Battery Service
If the battery has been shipped wet, but the electro
lyte level is low or the battery needs to be charged
then:
1. Fill each battery cell with distilled water to the
bottom of the vent wells.
2. Charge battery. Refer to
