Attaching the Battery Cables
NOTE:
Your lawn tractor model may be shipped with
the battery cables already connected.
IMPORTANT:
The positive battery terminal is marked
Pos. (+). The negative battery terminal is marked
Neg. (–).
•
The positive cable (heavy red wire) is secured to
the positive battery terminal (+) with a hex bolt and
hex nut at the factory. Make certain that the rubber
boot covers the terminal to help protect it from
corrosion.
•
Remove the hex bolt and hex nut from the negative
cable.
•
Remove the black plastic cover, if present, from the
negative battery terminal and attach the negative
cable (heavy black wire) to the negative battery
terminal (–) with the bolt and hex nut.
•
Make certain the hold-down rod is in position over
the battery, securing it in place. See Figure 3.

bracket, lining up the rear slots in the pivot bracket
with the remaining two holes in the seat’s base.
