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

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories 

contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known 

to the State of California to cause cancer and 

reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

CAUTION: 

If removing the battery, 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.

Jump Starting

WARNING! 

Never jump start a damaged or frozen 

battery. Be certain the vehicles do not touch, and 

ignitions are off. Do not allow cable clamps to touch.

1. 

Connect positive (

+

) cable to positive post (

+

) of your 

tractor’s discharged battery.

2. 

Connect the other end of the cable to the (positive 

+

) post 

of the jumper battery.

3. 

Connect the second cable (negative 

) to the other post of 

the jumper battery.

4. 

Make the final connection on the engine block of the 

tractor, away from the battery. Attach to a unpainted part 

to assure a good connection.

CAUTION: 

If the jumper battery is installed on a 

vehicle (i.e. car, truck), do NOT start the vehicle’s 

engine when jump starting your tractor.

5. 

Start the tractor (as instructed in the Operation section of 

this manual).

6. 

Set the tractor’s parking brake before removing the jumper 

cables, in reverse order of connection.

Charging

WARNING! 

Batteries give off an explosive gas 

while charging. Charge the 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 appliances.

CAUTION: 

When charging your tractor’s battery, 

use only a charger designed for 12V lead-acid 

batteries. Read your battery charger’s Owner’s 

Manual prior to charging your tractor’s battery. 

Always follow its instructions and heed its warnings.

If your tractor has not been put into use for an extended period 

of time, charge the battery as follows:
1. 

Set your battery charger to deliver a max of 10 amperes.

If your battery charger is automatic, charge the battery until the 

charger indicates that charging is complete. If the charger is not 

automatic, charge for no fewer than eight hours.

Fuse

One 20 AMP fuse is 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 the fuse has not 

blown. It can be found at the rear of the unit, underneath the 

fender located by the battery.

WARNING! 

Always use a fuse with the same 

amperage capacity for replacement.
