Jump-Starting
IMPORTANT:
Do not jump-start a damaged battery. Before connecting the jumper cables, make sure that the two
equipment are not in contact and their ignitions are turned off. Follow the sequence described below very closely.
1.
Connect the positive (+) lead of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the discharged battery.
2.
Connect the other end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the good battery.
3.
Connect one end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the good battery.
4.
Connect the other end of the negative (-) cable to the engine block of the stalled tractor,
away
from the battery,
and stand back.
5.
Start the stalled tractor and leave it running to charge the battery.
6.
Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the tractor.
7.
Disconnect the other end of the negative (-) jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the good battery.
8.
Disconnect the positive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the good battery.
9.
Disconnect the other end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the formerly dead battery.
Fuse
Two fuses are installed in your tractor’s wiring harness to protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage
caused by excessive amperage.
•
If the electrical system does not function, or your tractor’s engine will not crank, first check to be certain that one
of the fuses has not blown. One can be found under the hood mounted behind the top of the dash panel on the
support bar. The other fuse is mounted to the inside of the frame, behind the battery. Pull each fuse out to
determine if it is good or blown.
IMPORTANT:
Always use a fuse with the same amperage capacity for replacement.
Cutting Deck Removal
The cutting deck will have to be removed from the tractor for a variety
of service tasks. To remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:
•
Place the PTO (Blade Engage) lever in the disengaged (OFF)
position and engage the parking brake.
•
Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the bottom notch
on the right fender.
•
Remove the PTO belt (46” Deck)/ deck belt (42” Deck) from around
the tractor’s engine pulley and idler pulley(s). Refer to
Changing
The Deck Belt & PTO Belt
and Figure 15.
NOTE:
On models with a 46-inch deck, it may be necessary to remove
the belt keepers from around the engine pulley, in order to removes the
PTO belt.
•
Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the tractor, locate
the deck support pin on the rear left side of deck. See Figure 12.
•
Pull the deck support pin outward to release the deck from the deck
lift arm.
•
Rotate the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor and release the
pin into the hole provided.
•
Repeat the above steps on the tractor’s right side.
•
Move the deck lift lever into the top notch on the right fender to raise the deck lift arms up and out of the way.
NOTE:
Models with a 46-inch deck are equipped with a short cable which controls the deck spindle brake. It is
necessary to unhook this cable in order to fully remove the cutting deck from the tractor. Be certain to reattach the
cable when re-mounting the cutting deck.
•
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.
•
Gently slide the cutting deck (from the right side) out from underneath the tractor.
