Hints for Best Performance

This electric riding mower is the

ultimate in quietness and con
venience. It has its own character
istics that must be considered in
its operation. The "fuel" is in the

form of stored electricity in three

12-Volt batteries wired in series

to provide a 36-Volt system. The

gasoline engine and the electric
motor are similar in the way they
consume fuel (either gasoline or

electricity) by the fact that the

harder the unit is operated, the
faster the fuel is consumed. Cutting
at the maximum ground speed in

heavy grass will consume more
electrical energy than cutting at

an average speed in average or light
grass. The length of operating time

is in direct proportion to the way
the unit is driven and the cutting

conditions. As an example, the unit
will cut light grass for approxi

mately one hour at a modest
forward speed. That time may be

cut in half when cutting heavy grass

at high speed. The size of lawn to

be cut becomes the major influenc

ing factor in how the unit is used.
The built-in charging system takes

12 hours to 100% charge the

batteries.

Your riding mower is engineered

and designed to give you a mani
cured lawn with a minimum amount
of effort for the operator. The twin

blade cutting deck is designed to
effectively discharge the cut grass
from the deck onto the lawn or into
a grass catcher.

If you are cutting without a grass
catcher and the grass is wet, thick
or lush you should cut in a counter
clockwise direction to discharge

the grass towards the cut section of
your lawn. Recutting large amounts
of clippings will cause windrows
of grass.

When cutting with a grass catcher
kit, you can cut either clockwise or
counter clockwise. Plan your cutting
so you always trim with the left
side of the deck and have clearance
for the grass catcher.

Grasses such as Merion or Kentucky

Blue should not be cut less than 2
inches high. Infrequent cutting re
moves too much of the leaf surface.
Never cut off more than '/3 of the
grass blade.

It is important to have the blade
of your mower sharp when cutting.
Details on blade sharpening are ex
plained in the Maintenance Section
of this handbook. Cutting with a

dull blade generally results in a
white cast over a recent cut lawn
and later the tips of the blades turn
brown.

Avoid cutting wet grass because it
will clog up under the deck and will
not discharge properly. The general
appearance will be much better
when the grass is dry when you cut

it. A new lawn has much softer
blades of grass and has a higher
moisture content. It is extremely
important for this type of lawn to be
cut with a sharp blade.

Following the same pattern every
time when you mow your lawn can
develop ridges at right angles to the
direction of mowing. By changing

your direction of mowing (diagonal
or right angle) you can prevent
this.

Grass Catcher Model No. 194-01 5A
is available as optional equipment
for the mower shown in this manual.

Warning: The mower shall not be

operated wihout the entire grass

catcher or chute deflector in place.

Note: Under normal usage bag
material is subject to wear, and
should be checked periodically. Be
sure any replacement bag complies
with the mower manufacturer's
recommendations. Use factory
replacement bag No. 764-122.

i^ctivating the Batteries

^ Warning: ^

Electrolyte contains sul
phuric acid which is harmful to skin,
eyes and clothing. Avoid direct
contact with the electrolyte at all
times.

Fill batteries in an area where clean

water is available for flushing the

skin and eyes at all times.

Wear glasses (preferably safety
glasses) to protect the eyes while
handling electrolyte.

Electrolyte Antidotes

External: Flood with water, then

cover with moistened sodium bicar

bonate (baking soda). If eyes are
involved, wash first with water then

with 1 per cent solution of freshly

prepared sodium bicarbonate (bak-

ng soda). Call pyhsician immedi

ately.

Internal: Do not use emetics, stom

ach pumps, carbonates or bicar

bonates. Give at least 2 to 3 oz. of
milk of magnesia, or preferably
aluminum hydroxide gel diluted

with water. If these alkalies are not

available, the whites of eggs (2 to

3) well beaten may be used. Give
large quantities of water. Prevent

collapse. Call physician immedi

ately.

locally 18 quarts of Sulphuric
Acid Electrolyte (Sp. Gr, 1.265)
to activate the battery.

6 Charge the batteries as outlined

in the Maintenance Section of
this handbook.

7 Add the remaining acid to fill

the batteries to the split ring.

Tire Pressure

For shipping purposes, the tires on
your unit may be over-inflated. Tire
pressure should be reduced before
unit is put into operation. Pres
sure should not exceed 15 P.S.I.
Equal tire pressure should be
maintained.

or perform any cleaning or repairs
of the riding mower without
turning off the main key switch and
removing the key from the switch.

Operating the Mower

1 Set the desired cutting height.
2 Start the traction motor.
3 Set the clutch stop lever in the

slow or medium speed range.

Note: As you become familiar with
the operation of the mower you may
wish to move the stop lever to a

faster position.

t

4 While holding down the clutch

pedal, move the clutch lockout
lever forward.

5 Put the gear shift lever into

either FORWARD or REVERSE.

Note: Do not force the gear shift

lever. If the lever cannot be moved
from NEUTRAL to one of the
drive positions, release the clutch
pedal slowly, depress it again, and
then move the gear shift lever as
required.

6 Once the machine is in motion,

remove your foot from the
pedal. The mower will now move
ahead or to the rear, and the
use of the steering wheel will
provide directional control.

7 The mower is brought to a stop

by pressing your right foot

against the brake pedal and your

left foot against the clutch
pedal. The drive belt will be
disengaged and the brake will
be applied.

Note: The rider should be operated

in the slow speeds when climbing
a hill or descending. This reduces
the current draw going uphill and
retards the forward speed going
downhill.

Operating the Cutter Blades

The blades can be started either
while the mower is moving or

standing still.
Move the Mower Blade Switch to

the START position, as soon as the

motors are running, release the

switch and it will return to the ON

position.

To stop the blades from rotating,
depress the Mower Blade Switch
to the OFF position or.turn off the

Main Key Switch.

Note: When the riding mower is
being used for other than mowing

Battery Charger

WARNING

THE GASES PRODUCED WHILE
THE BATTERIES ARE BEING
CHARGED ARE HIGHLY COMBUS
TIBLE. THE HOOD SHOULD BE
RAISED UNTIL THE CHARGER
SWITCH RETURNS TO THE OFF
POSITION. KEEP OPEN FLAMES
AWAY FROM THE UNIT AND DO
NOT SMOKE IN THE AREA.

The batteries in your riding mower
are specially built to withstand re
peated charging without damage.

Whenever the mower is not being

used, the charger cord should be
plugged into a 110-1 25 volt AC

grounded outlet. The charger will

draw 7.5 amps, until the battery is

charged to 80% of its capacity,

and then it will taper off.

After the cord is plugged into the

outlet, turn the charger switch
clockwise until it stops. The timer
behind the switch will rotate it to the
OFF position at which time the
batteries will be charged to their
fullest capacity. The switch will
not begin to rotate until the batteries
have reached 80% of their capacity.
This will take approximately 5 hours

maximum.

Caution; Always turn the charger
switch to the OFF position before
removing the cord from the outlet.

The charger cord should be left

plugged into a live outlet at all times
when the mower is not in use. A
timer built into the charger will
automatically turn on the charger

once a day for a few minutes and
charge the batteries. This will keep

the batteries at full capacity. This

is very important during winter
storage. A battery will lose
50% of its capacity if it is

not used for a 90 day period.

This can cause a battery to freeze

and crack during extreme cold
weather. Some heat is generated
from the charger while it is oper
ating. This is normal. (See figure

16.)

10

Maintenance

The ammeter shows you the rate
at which your batteries are charg

ing. Maximum charging rate
is approximately 7 to 8 amps. The
charging rate will drop to 3 amps
during the latter part of charging.

Battery Maintenance

Follow the instructions in the above
paragraph covering the charging

of the batteries. To charge a set
of batteries to 100% of capacity

will take a maximum of 12 hours.

Reading your ammeter during the

charging will give you an indication

of the state of charge of your bat

teries. If the ammeter reading is

over 6 Amps, you have less than
80% of capacity.

A hydrometer can be used to
check the state of charge of the
batteries. Always read a hydrometer
at eye level to obtain a true reading.
Keep the float vertical. A hy
drometer is designed to give the
correct reading at 80°F. This is
the electrolyte temperatuer, not the
air temperature. Draw enough elec
trolyte into the hydrometer so the
float does not touch the bottom of
the tube. A correction chart is
necessary to obtain a true reading.

Charging Hints

1 Be sure the outlet used to

charge the battery is live and
does not shut off when you turn
off the lights.

2 Only use the charger built into

the mower to charge the bat

teries. Do not use any other
charger.

3 Do not use the battery in the

mower to “jump" any other
vehicle.

Maintenance

Water

Drinking water, except mineral

water, may be used in the batteries.

If your local water has a high min
eral content (hard water) use
distilled water in your batteries.
Do not add electrolyte if the liquid
level is down, only water.

If you add water to the battery
it will lower the specific gravity of

the electrolyte but the battery has

not lost any of its charge. If water
is added during freezing weather be
sure you charge the battery as
outlined in Battery Charger para
graph. Failure to do this can freeze
and crack a battery.

Batteries that use excessive
amounts of water indicate that they
are being over-charged and the

riding mower should be examined

by a serviceman.

Battery Removal

If the batteries are removed from

the riding mower for any reason,

remove the plastic cover by pulling

the pins and unsnapping it. Remove

the cables in the order shown in
figure 20.

This will help prevent your wrench
from arcing if it slips.

Note: Refer to figure 20 when you
reconnect the battery to make sure
it is connected properly.

Headlamps

The headlamps are 36-Volt.
Use only authorized replacements.
(GE 4350 or order from the mower
manufacturer by part number
725-377)

Automatic Reset Breakers

For your protection, both the
traction motor and the mower blade
motors have automatic reset break
ers that will shut off the motors

if they overheat as a result of over

loading. Cutting high grass at an
excessive speed is a common cause
for overheating.

Caution: If one blade motor cuts

out from overheating, both motors

will stop.

If the automatic reset breaker on

the traction motor opens, it will take

about 30 minutes before it will
reset itself.

If the automatic reset breaker on

one of the blade motors opens, it

will take about five minutes before
they will reset themselves.

Fuse (Buss WDA 100)

The 100 Amp. fuse is located

inside the charger box in back of

the dashboard. Unsnap the plastic
cover to check the fuse. There are
three extra fuses in your assembly

pack. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE any
other fuse or any other material in

place of the correct fuse.
The fuse has two purposes. One is

to protect the wiring against a

direct short and the other is to pro
tect the electrical circuit against
overloads.

If either the traction motor or blade

motors are overworked for a long

period of time the automatic reset

breakers will open and the over

heated motor will shut off as ex

plained in the above paragraphs.

If a heavy surge of current is drawn
through either the traction motor

or blade motors the 100 Amp. fuse

can melt. An example of this would

be cutting heavy grass while climb

ing a hill at a fast ground speed.

Figure 20

In the event of a melted fuse, review
how the machine was operated
prior to fuse melting. If the machine
was not heavily loaded, a failure
within the circuitry may have
occurred and the reason

for it melting should be corrected
before a new fuse is installed.

To remove the fuse, remove the
plastic cover, loosen the two nuts
on each end of the fuse and take
the free ends off the two terminals.

Replace it with a Buss WDA 100
fuse. (Manufacturers number
725-376)

12

Maintenance

Tighten the adjusting nuts equally

on both sides. Tighten until the
chain has V4 inch slack between
the sprockets.

Figure 21

Blade Replacement

Remove the retainer nut and lock­washer. Pull the blade from the
motor shaft. (See figure 22.)

Figure 23
Brake Adjustment

To adjust the brake on your rider,

follow these steps:

1 Depress the brake pedal and lift

the brake lock so the pedal
stays in the depressed position.

2 Place the clutch loc <out in the

START position.

3 Try to push the rider. If the rider

can be moved, tighten the
brake adjustment nut as shown
in figure 23.

Note: It is not necessary to tip the
rider up on end as shown in the
photograph. The adjusting nut can
be reached with the rider in the
normal operating position.

4 Tighten the adjustment nut one

turn and test the rider. Repeat

if necessary.

Figure 24

The adjusting nuts can be tightened
individually to align the rear axle
if necessary.

Tighten the four locknuts after the
adjustment is made.

Wheel Alignment

The caster (forward slant of the

king pin) and the camber (tilt of the
wheels out at the top) requires
no adjustment. Automotive steering
principles have been used to de
termine the caster and camber on
the rider. The front wheels should
toe-in Ys inch. See figure 25.)

To adjust follow these steps;

Figure 22

When grinding or filing the blade,

remove equal amounts of metal

from both edges to keep the blade

in balance.

Chain Adjustment

To tighten the chain, loosen the
two locknuts on each side of the
rear axle. (See figure 24.)

13

II Remove the elastic locknut and

drop the tie rod end from the
steering arm. (See figure 25.)

Maintenance

2 Loosen the hex jam nut on the tie

rod.

3 Adjust the tie rod assembly for

correct wheel alignment.

Note: Dimension B should be ap
proximately Vs inch less than
dimension A.

4 To increase dimension B screw

the rod into the tie rod end.

5 To decrease dimension B un

screw the tire rod from the tie
rod end.

6 Reassemble the rod. Check

dimensions.

Removing the Variable Speed Belts

The variable speed belts can be
removed from the rider without

removing the cutting deck and
batteries, however, they can be
removed as the photographs show
to give you more working room.

To Remove the Batteries and
Cutting Deck

1 Before lifting up one end of the

mower, remove the batteries

as outlined in the Battery Re

moval Section of this manual.

2 Lift up the front of the rider and

tip it back so it rests on the
rear wheels and the seat back.

3 Remove the cutting deck by

unplugging the two leads to
the mower blade motors, and
removing the six cotter pins
on the lower deck links.

4 Place the lift lever in the locked

out position.

Motor Puiley

Upper Bolt*.

5 Remove the nut and lockwasher

on the transmission pulley and
pull the pulley off the spindle.
(See figure 27.)

6 Remove the lower belt from the

variable speed pulley. (See
figure 28.)

7 Slide the center section of the

variable speed pulley towards

you and unhook the upper belt.

8 Reassemble in reverse order

with the new belts

Figure 28

Maintenance

Troubleshooting

If a problem is encountered which
cannot be solved, refer to the chart
on page 16 for a possible remedy.

Off-season Storage

If the machine is to be inoperative

for a period longer than 30 days,
the following procedures are
recommended:

1 Clean the entire mower and

motors thoroughly.

2 Lubricate all lubrication points

indicated in figures 13 to 15,
then wipe the entire machine
with an oiled rag in order to
protect the surfaces.

3 Check the water level in the

batteries and add water if

necessary.

4 Plug the charger into an outlet

that has power all the time. Set
the charger switch to the ON

position. When the batteries are

completely charged, the timer

will turn on the charger once a

day for a few minutes to keep
the batteries at full charge.
