to the battery.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦Charging the battery may produce explosive
gasses
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦Battery gasses can explode causing serious
injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦Keep sparks, flames, or cigarettes away from
battery.
♦Ventilate when charging or using battery in an
enclosed space.
♦Make sure venting path of battery is always
open once battery is filled with acid.
2. Check the voltage of the battery with a digital
voltmeter. Locate the voltage reading of the
battery in the table below and charge the battery
for the recommended time interval to bring the
charge up to a full charge of 12.6 volts or greater.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the negative battery
cables are disconnected and the battery charger
used for charging the battery has an output of 16
volts and 7 amps or less to avoid damaging the
battery (see chart below for recommended charger
settings).

CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦If the ignition is in the “ON” position there is
potential for sparks and engagement of
components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦Sparks could cause an explosion or moving
parts could accidentally engage causing
personal injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦Be sure ignition switch is in the “OFF” position
before charging the battery.
3. Connect the negative battery cables.
NOTE: If the positive cable is also disconnected,
connect the positive (red) cable to the positive
battery terminal first, then the negative (black)
cable and green/white wire to the negative
battery terminal. Slip insulator boot over the
positive terminal.
NOTE: If time does not permit charging the
battery, or if charging equipment is not available,
connect the negative battery cables and run the
vehicle continuously for 20 to 30 minutes to
sufficiently charge the battery.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

SERVICING THE ENGINE
Service Engine Oil
Engine is shipped with oil; check oil level and
if necessary fill to the appropriate level with
oil as specified in Engine Owner’s Manual.
Service Engine Coolant
Machine is shipped filled with engine coolant.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦Engine coolant is hot and pressurized.
♦Radiator and surrounding parts are hot.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦Spray or steam from hot, pressurized liquid
in the engine cooling system and touching a
hot radiator may cause severe burns.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦Allow the engine to cool completely before
removing the radiator cap or servicing any
component of the cooling system.
CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦Engine coolant is toxic.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦Swallowing coolant can cause poisoning.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦Do not swallow
♦Keep out of reach of children and pets.
With cool engine, check that coolant level is
up to the indicator line on the overflow bottle.
If not, add 50/50 coolant mix to overflow
bottle to bring the level up to the indicator
line. Also check coolant level in radiator. Fill
it as high as possible with 50/50 coolant mix.
NOTE: Units should only be filled with Dex
Cool© extended life coolant, which can
be identified by its orange color.
Service the Hydraulic Oil
The machine is shipped with hydraulic oil in the
reservoir.
1. Run the machine for approximately 15 minutes
to allow any extra air to purge out of the
hydraulic system.
2. Check hydraulic reservoir and if necessary fill
the reservoir to the appropriate level with Mobil 1
15W-50 synthetic motor oil.
3. Replace hydraulic reservoir cap and tighten until
snug. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: The baffle is labeled “HOT” and “COLD”.
The oil level varies with the temperature of the oil.
The “HOT” level shows the level of oil when it is at
225°F (107°C). The “COLD” level shows the level of
the oil when it is at 75°F (24°C). Fill to the
appropriate level depending upon the temperature of
the oil. For example: If the oil is about 150° F
(65°C). Fill to halfway between the “HOT” and
“COLD” levels. If the oil is at room temperature
(about 75° F (24°C)), fill only to the “COLD” level.
Unit Tracking
Operate unit with both drive levers pushed to the full
forward position. Verify that the unit tracks in a
straight line. If not, adjust motion control linkages to
correct tracking as described in Operator’s Manual
Adjustment Section 4.2.13.
Engine High Idle Speed
When the throttle lever is pushed full forward, verify
that engine high idle speed is 3750 RPM plus or
minus 50 RPM. If not, adjust throttle stops on
engine linkage to obtain correct settings.
Checking Safety Interlock System
1. Check starting circuit. The starter should crank
with the parking brake engaged, PTO
disengaged, the operator in the seat, and
motion control levers moved out in the neutral
lock position.
Disengage parking brake. The starter must not
crank.
Engage parking brake and engage PTO. The
starter must not crank.
Disengage parking brake and move each drive
lever in separately. Starter must not crank.
Move both drive levers in. Starter must not
crank.

2. Check the kill circuits. Run engine at one-
third throttle, disengage parking brake and
raise off of seat (but do not get off of
machine) engine must stop after approx.
1/2 second has elapsed.
Run engine at one-third throttle, engage
PTO and raise off of seat (but do not get off
of machine) engine must stop after 1/2
second has elapsed.
Run engine at one-third throttle, with brake
disengaged, move levers in and raise off
seat (but do not get off of machine) engine
must stop after 1/2 second has elapsed.
Run engine at one-third throttle and move
left motion control lever in - engine must
stop.
Repeat moving the right lever in, then
moving both levers in - engine must stop
whether operator is on seat or not.
NOTE: If machine does not pass any of
these tests, diagnose and repair any
malfunctions before final delivery to
customer.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that operator
safety mechanisms be connected and in
proper operating condition prior to use
for mowing.
