Adding Water to the Battery
The best time to add distilled water to the battery is just
before you operate the machine. This lets the water mix
thoroughly with the electrolyte solution.
1. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel.
2. Lift off the filler caps (Fig. 62).
3. Slowly pour distilled water into each battery cell until
the level is up to the lower part of the tube (Fig. 62).
Important
Do not overfill the battery because
electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can cause severe corrosion and
damage to the chassis.
4. Press the filler caps onto the battery.
5. Position drain tube away from belts and other parts to
prevent corrosion.
Charging the Battery
Important Always keep the battery fully charged
(1.260 specific gravity). This is especially important to
prevent battery damage when the temperature is below
32
°
F (0
°
C).
1. Check the electrolyte level; refer to Checking
Electrolyte Level, page 43.
2. Remove the filler caps from the battery and connect a
3 to 4 amp battery charger to the battery posts. Charge
the battery at a rate of 4 amperes or less for 4 hours
(12 volts). Do not overcharge the battery. Install the
filler caps after the battery is fully charged.
Charging battery produces gasses that can
explode and cause serious injury.
•
Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames away from
battery.
•
Make sure the ignition switch is off.
•
Ventilate when charging or using battery in an
enclosed space.
Warning
Mower Leveling
1. Position mower on a flat surface. Stop the engine, set
the parking brake, remove the key and disconnect the
spark plug wire(s) from the spark plug(s).
2. Check tire pressure of all four (4) tires. If needed,
adjust to 13 psi (90 kPa)
3. Set anti-scalp rollers to top holes or remove them
completely for this adjustment.
4. Raise the deck to the transport position and take all
force off of the two large deck lift springs by loosening
nut in front of each spring (Fig. 63).
5. Place two 1-1/2
″
(38 mm) thick blocks under rear left
and right lower edge of mower. Place one 2-1/4
″
(57 mm) block under front center lower edge of
mower. Lower mower to the 2
″
(51 mm) height-of-cut
position (Fig. 63).

6. Loosen four (4) top chain bolts in slots. Check the
length of the rod/swivel assemblies. Distance from
outside of rear swivel to outside of front swivel should
be 19-17/32

(496 mm) (Fig. 64). Make sure that all
four swivels move freely in holes.
