CHARGING THE BATTERY
Test and, if necessary, recharge the battery after the
tractor has been stored for a period of time.

A voltmeter or load tester should read 12.6 volts
(DC) or higher across the battery terminals.
•
Charge the battery with a 12-volt battery charger at
a MAXIMUM rate of 10 amps.
JUMP STARTING
WARNING
Failure to use this jump starting procedure
could cause sparking, which could result in an
explosion of either battery.
1.
Attach the first jumper cable from the positive
terminal of the good battery to the positive terminal
of the dead battery.
2.
Attach the second jumper cable from the negative
terminal of the good battery to the FRAME OF THE
UNIT WITH THE DEAD BATTERY.
TIRES
Keep the pneumatic tires properly inflated. Over-
inflation will cause operator discomfort. Under-inflation
will cause short tire life.
Improperly inflated tires will also affect the leveling of
the mower deck and quality of cut.
Inflate the front and rear tires as shown in the following
table:
Tire Size
Pounds per Square Inch
Front Tires
15 x 6–6
14
Rear Tires
20 x 9–8
10
Always ensure that the tire valve caps are in place and
tightened securely to prevent loss of air and to protect
the valve core and stem.
Do not overload the tractor tires by mounting
equipment on the tractor which exceeds the load
capacity of the size of the tires on the tractor.
