HOW TO CONTROL IT SMOOTHLY. AND HOW
TO STOP IT QUICKLY! AND-
SAFETY TIPS FOR GARDEN TRACTORS AND ATTACHMENTS
Improper use of riding lawn mowers, garden tractors and attachments on the part of the operator can result in injury. To
reduce this possibility, give complete and undivided attention to the job at hand.
1. Know the controls and how to stop quickly — READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL.
2 . Do not allow children to operate machine; nor adults to operate it without proper instruction.
3. Clear work area of objects which might be picked up and thrown.
4. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting motor. Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power driv¬
en parts.
5. Do not carry passengers. Keep children and pets a safe distance away.
6. Never direct discharge of any material toward by-standers nor allow anyone near machine while in operation.
7. Disengage power to any attachment and stop motor before leaving operator position.
8. Take precautions when leaving machine unattended (to avoid accidental starting, rolling away, accidental dropping of any
attachment, etc.)
9. Disengage power to any attachment whenever it is not in use or when traveling from one work area to another.
10. Stay alert for holes and other hidden hazards.
11. Know what is behind you before backing up.
12. Beware of steep slopes; reduce speed on all side slopes and sharp turns to prevent tipping or losing control.
13. Don't stop or start suddenly when going uphill or downhill.
14. Use extra care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment. (Refer to your owner's manual)
15. Watch out for traffic when near roadways.
16. Handle gasoline with care — it is highly flammable.
A. Use approved gasoline container.
B. Never add gasoline to running motor — fill tank out of doors and wipe up spilled gasoline.
C. Replace gasoline cap securely.
D. Open doors if motor is run in garage — exhaust gases are dangerous.
17. Keep machine in good operating condition and keep safety devices in place. Use guards as instructed in owner's manual.
18. Disengage power to any attachment and stop motor before making repairs or adjustments.
19. While operating the mower, if any foreign object is struck, stop the mower and inspect for damage. Do not restart or
operate the mower until all damage has been repaired.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place battery to be filled on bench or workbench. Never
activate battery in tractor. Remove vent plugs from all
cells.
2. Fill each cell carefully using battery grade 1.250-1.265
specific gravity Sulfuric Acid to 3/8" above the top of
the separators or to the split ring^.
3. Allow battery to set for 20 minutes. Battery can then be
installed, however, to have maximum capacity the battery
should be placed on a charger after the 20 minutes set¬
ting period. Battery can be charged at maximum of 35
amperes until the specific gravity reading is 1.265-1.275.
4. The battery should be checked with a hydrometer after
every 25 hours of operation. If the specific gravity is less
than 1.225 remove battery and recharge.
5. The battery should be kept clean. Any deposits of acid
should be neutralized with soda and water. Be careful
not to get this solution in the cells. Coat the terminals
with a thin coat of grease.
6. If the battery is not going to be used in the winter, re¬
move the battery and store in a cool, dry place. Do not
store directly on a concrete floor as this will drain the
battery. Recharge whenever the specific gravity is less
than 1.225.

BATTERY CARE
Battery Failure — Many times new batteries are returned for
charging within a few days or a week after sale. Before re¬
turning the battery to the dealer who sold you the tractor,
make these following checks.
1. Was the battery fully charged when installed? The dry-
pack battery should have been placed on a charger and
the specific gravity of the battery should read 1.265 to
1.275 before it was installed in the tractor.
2. Were the battery terminals clean, greased and properly
tightened when the battery was installed?
3. Batteries are usually involved in ANY starting failure,
however, insufficient hours of driving, worn cables,
trouble in the electrical system, corroded connections,
slipping drive belt can cause a battery to become dis¬
charged without the battery being a fault.
TIE-ROD
FIG. 16
SERVICING YOUR BATTERY
It is all right to use drinking water in your battery, exclud¬
ing mineral water.
Adding water to a battery cell will lower the specific gravity
of the electrolyte. Water should not be added unless the
tractor is going to be run immediately during freezing
weather.
Maintain electrolyte level in the battery to the level indi¬
cated on the top of the battery.
Keep the terminals clean and coated with grease.
BATTERY STORAGE
If your tractor is to be stored during an off-season, the
battery should be removed from the tractor, placed on a
charger until the specific gravity reads 1.265 to 1.275 and
stored at approximately 720F. Batteries should not be
placed directly on cement as this will drain the battery. Re¬
charge to bring the specific gravity to normal before placing
it in the tractor after storage.
