A. CHARGING THE BATTERY
Refer to the battery charger’s manual for specific
instructions.
Under normal conditions the engine’s alternator will have
no problem keeping a charge on the battery. If the battery
has been completely discharged for a long period of time,
the alternator may not be able to recharge the battery, and
a battery charger will be required.
DO NOT charge a frozen battery. It may explode and cause
injury. Let the battery warm before attaching a charger.
Whenever possible, remove the battery from the mower
before charging and make sure the electrolyte covers the
plates in all cells.
WARNING
BATTERIES PRODUCE ExPLOSIvE GASES.
Charge the battery in a well ventilated space so
gases produced while charging can dissipate.
Charging rates between 3 and 50 amperes are satisfactory
if excessive gassing or spewing of electrolyte does not
occur or the battery does not feel excessively hot (over
125°F). If spewing or gassing occurs or the temperature
exceeds 125°F, the charging rate must be reduced or
temporarily stopped to permit cooling.
B. JUMP STARTING
The booster battery must be a 12 volt type. If a 1.
vehicle is used for jump starting, it must have a
negative ground system.
When connecting the jumper cables, connect the 2.
positive cable to the positive battery post, then
connect the negative cable to the negative battery
post.
DRIvE BELTS 7.8
All drive belts are spring-loaded and self-tensioning,
however after the first 2, 4, 8 and 10 hours of operation,
the belts should be checked for proper alignment and wear.
Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of operation
or weekly, whichever occurs first.
- Note -
If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage,
see your authorized Scag service center for belt
adjustment.
WARNING
If the pump drive belt fails, steering control will be
lost which could result in serious injury or death.
Replace the pump drive belt as needed or every
400 hours / 2 years, whichever occurs first.
CUTTER BLADES 7.9
A. BLADE INSPECTION
Remove the ignition key before servicing the blades. 1.
Raise the mower deck to the highest position. Place 2.
the lanyard pin in the highest cutting height position
to prevent the cutter deck from falling.
WARNING
Mower blades are sharp. Always wrap blades,
wear proper hand and eye protection when
working with cutter blades.
Check the cutter blades for straightness. If the cutter 3.
blades appear bent, they will need to be replaced.
Check the cutter blades for wear. If any part of the 4.
cutter blade is worn to 1/2 its original thickness,
replace the cutter blade.
WARNING
Do not attempt to straighten a bent blade, and
never weld a broken or cracked blade. Always
replace it with a new blade to assure safety.
If a blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be 5.
sharpened. Remove the blades for sharpening. See
"Blade Replacement."
