Assembly Instructions
WARNING
It is critical to follow the steps provided for
setup and assembly of the tractor and deck
to ensure the safety of the operator and
performance of the equipment.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Walker Mowers are shipped partially assembled to
our distribution network, and are typically assem-
bled by the selling dealer. For any additional
assembly besides the following, contact your Walk-
er dealer.
Tire Installation (Tractor)
● Install the drive tires using the eight (8) lug
bolts supplied with the Owner’s Packet of
materials. Bolts are torqued to 75 to 85 lb·ft
(102 to 115 N·m). Drive tires are 18 x 9.50-8,
4-ply; rear tires are 13 x 4.50-6, 6-ply.
● Check and adjust the inflation of the tires. The
tire inflation recommendations are:
Drive
= 15 PSI (103 kPa)
Tailwheel = 20 PSI (137 kPa)
Battery Service
The battery comes sealed and is maintenance-
free, so the electrolyte level will not need to be
checked or filled.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure battery is securely
mounted in the frame. A loose battery may cause
damage to the case resulting in acid leakage and
severe damage to the machine. A hazard may be
created by damage to critical working parts and
safety systems.
CAUTION
Important Battery Service, Installation, and
Charging Tips:

is running.
●
Never use a quick battery charger to
start the engine.
Battery Charging
DANGER
BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES

terials away from the battery at all
times.
●
Make sure the battery charger is un-
plugged before connecting or discon-
necting cables to the battery.
1. Disconnect the battery terminals–negative (-)
first.
2. Charge the battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes.
DO NOT
exceed 20 amps (maximum recom-
