Jump Starting
WARNING:
Never jump start a damaged or
frozen battery (a battery can be identified as
frozen if its sides are bulged out, it’s frosty and
it feels very solid). 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 negative (–) cable to the
negative (–) post of the jumper battery.
4. Make the final connection on the engine block of
the stalled tractor, away from the battery. Attach to
a unpainted part to assure a good connection.
IMPORTANT:
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 on page 17).
6. Set the tractor’s parking brake before removing the
jumper cables, in reverse order of connection.
7. Allow the tractor’s engine to run for 15 minutes
before shutting it off to allow the alternator time to
charge the discharged battery.
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.
IMPORTANT:
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 maximum of
10 amperes.
2. 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.
Cutting Deck Removal
To remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:
1. Place the PTO (Blade Engage) knob (or lever) in
the disengaged (OFF) position and engage the
parking brake.
2. Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the
bottom notch on the right fender.
3. Remove the belt keeper rod from around the
engine pulley by removing the self-tapping screw.
4. Remove the deck belt from around the tractor’s
engine pulley (or electric PTO clutch, if so
equipped).
5. Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the
tractor, locate the deck support pin on the rear left
side of the deck. See Figure 21.

6. Pull the deck support pin outward to release the
