prevent battery damage when the temperature is below
32
°
F (0
°
C).
1. Remove the battery from the chassis; refer to
Removing the Battery, page 48.
2. Check the electrolyte level; refer to Checking

Adjusting the Mower Level
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 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. 65).

left and right lower edge of mower. Place one
2-1/4 inch (57 mm) block under front center lower
edge of mower. Lower mower to the 2 inch (51 mm)
height-of-cut position (Fig. 64).
