that prevents the engine from starting unless the deck
drive is disengaged and the speed control is in neutral.
The interlock system shuts off the engine if the operator
leaves the seat with the speed control not in the neutral
position and/or the cutter blades are engaged. It will also
shut the engine off if the cutter deck drive is engaged and
the hopper is raised.
WARNING:
Never operate the mower with the interlock
system disconnected or malfunctioning. Do not
disengage or bypass any switch; injury to
yourself and others or property damage could
result.
4.3 INITIAL RUN-IN PROCEDURES (First
Day of Use or Approximately 10 Hours)
4.4 STARTING THE ENGINE
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE STARTING FLUIDS. Use of starting
fluids in the air intake system may be potentially
explosive or cause a “runaway” engine condition
that could result in engine damage and/or personal
injury.
1. Be sure the fuel shutoff valve, located under the fuel
tank, is completely open. (See section 7-4.)
2. Sit in the operator’ s seat and place the speed control
in the neutral position.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. If the engine is cold, adjust the engine choke as
needed.
1. Check all belts for proper tension at 2, 4 and 8 hours.
2. Change the engine oil and oil filter after the first 5
hours of operation. (See Section 7.4.)
3. Check hydraulic oil level in reservoir. (See Section
7.3.)
4. Check for loose hardware. Tighten as needed.
5. Check interlock system for proper operation. (See
Section 4.2.)
6. Check tire pressure. Inflate tires if necessary.
5. Adjust engine throttle control to about half engine
speed.
6. Turn the ignition key to the ST ART position and
release the key as soon as the engine starts. Do not
hold the key in the ST ART position for more than 15
seconds at a time. Allow at least 60 seconds between
each cranking attempt to prevent overheating of the
starter motor . Prolonged cranking can damage the
starter motor and shorten battery life.
7. Allow engine to warm before operating the mower.
4.5 GROUND TRAVEL AND STEERING
-IMPORTANT-
If you are not familiar with the operation of a
machine with lever steering and/or hydrostatic
transmissions, the steering and ground speed
operations should be learned and practiced in
an open area, away from buildings, fences, or
obstructions. Practice until you are comfortable
with the handling of the machine before
attempting to mow. Learn the operation on flat
ground before operating on slopes.
10
Page 17
Section 4
-IMPORT ANT-
Start practice with a slow engine speed and slow
forward travel.
Do not push the steering control levers forward
when traveling forward. They are only used to
steer the mower and to travel in reverse by
pulling back on the levers.
Learn to operate the mower with the left hand
on the steering levers and the right hand on
speed control as shown in Figure 4-5. Using
both hands on the steering levers often causes
overcontrol.
Learn to feather the steering controls to obtain
a smooth operating action. Jerky movements
tend to place extreme force on the drive pumps
and axles, as well as damage the lawns.
Practice operating the mower until you can
make it go exactly where you are aiming.
In case of an emergency, such as loss of control,
stop the mower’s movement by quickly pulling
the speed control lever to the neutral position.
Forward Travel
-NOTE-
Use one hand on both steering levers as shown in
Figure 4-5 to minimize overcontrol.
T o travel forward with the mower , move the speed control
lever forward. Do not push the steering control levers
forward as they are used only for steering the mower left
or right. When the speed control is moved forward, the
mower will travel forward at the speed the control lever is
set at. To increase the speed, push the control lever
forward and to decrease the speed, pull the control lever
back. It is not necessary to hold the speed control in
position, since a friction system holds the lever in
position.
T o stop the forward travel, pull the speed control lever
back to the neutral position.
T o steer the mower left while traveling forward, pull the
left steering lever back. The further the lever is pulled
back, the further the mower will turn left.
Figure 4-5 Hands On Controls
T o steer the mower right while traveling forward, pull the
right steering control lever back. The further the lever is
pulled back, the further the mower will turn right.
-NOTE-
Smooth operation of the steering levers will
produce a smooth mower operation. While
learning the operation of the steering controls,
keep the travel speed low.
-IMPORTANT-
Do not travel forward over a curb. The mower
will hang up on the curb. Tilt the deck and
travel backwards over the curb at a 45 degree
angle. (see section 4.15 for cutter deck tilting
instructions)
11
Page 18
Section 4
Reverse Travel
CAUTION:
Before backing up, observe the rear for persons
and obstructions. Clear the area before backing
up. Possible injury or property damage could
occur.
CAUTION:
Disengage power to the mower before backing up.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary and then only after observation of the
entire area behind the mower.
T o travel in reverse, pull both handles all the way back.
Keep the travel speed low while traveling in reverse.
4.6 ENGAGING THE DECK DRIVE (CUTTER
BLADES)
1. Set the throttle at about 3/4 speed. Do not attempt to
engage the deck drive at high speed as this shortens
the electric clutch life — use only moderate engine
speed when engaging the deck drive.
2. Engage the deck drive by pulling out on the switch
lever (Figure 4-6) then pushing the switch lever
forward to the engage position.
UP FOR MOWER - ON
PULL OUT
DOWN FOR MOWER - OFF
-NOTE-
The mower will not travel straight in reverse.
Slight adjustments must be made using the
steering controls.
T o steer left while traveling in reverse, allow the left
steering control lever to move forward. The further the
control is allowed to move forward, the further the mower
will turn left.
T o steer right while traveling in reverse, allow the right
steering control lever to move forward. The further the
control is allowed to move forward, the further the mower
will turn right.
T o stop the reverse travel, place the speed control lever in
the neutral position and allow the steering control levers
to return to the neutral position. If the mower is to be
parked, engage the parking brake.
Figure 4-6 Cutter Engage Switch
-NOTE-
If a squealing noise is heard when engaging or
disengaging the deck drive, it is caused by the
electric clutch plates meshing as the mower
comes up to speed.
3. To disengage the deck drive, pull the switch lever
down to the disengage position.
4. Always operate the engine at full throttle to properly
maintain cutting speed. If the engine starts to lug
down, reduce the forward speed and allow the engine
to operate at maximum RPM.

Page 19
Section 4
4.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION
WARNING:
To minimize the possibility of overturning, the
least dangerous method of operating on hills and
terraces is to travel vertically up and down the
slope, not horizontally along the slope. A v oid any
unnecessary turns and travel at reduced speed.
1. The mower has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions. However,
caution must be used when traveling on slopes,
especially when the grass is wet. W et grass reduces
traction and steering control.
Figure 4-8 Improper Operation on a Slope
2. To inhibit tipping or loss of control, do not start or
stop suddenly , avoid unnecessary turns and travel at
reduced speed.
3. Keep tires properly inflated.
4. Always travel up or down the slope, whenever
possible; NEVER across the slope. (See Figures 4-7
and 4-8.)
4.8 PARKING THE MOWER
1. Place the speed control in the neutral position.
2. Slow the engine to idle speed.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove
the key .
4.9 AFTER OPERATION
1. Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not use
high pressure spray or direct the spray onto electrical
components.
-IMPORT ANT-
Do not wash a hot or running engine. Cold
water will damage the engine. Use compressed
air to clean the engine if it is hot.
Figure 4-7 Proper Operation on a Slope
2. Keep the entire mower clean to inhibit serious heat
damage to the engine or hydraulic oil circuit.
3. Check the drive belts for proper tension, alignment
and any signs of rubbing. Correct and adjust if
necessary.
13
Page 20
Section 4
4. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel at the end of
every day of operation.
5. Check the tire pressure. Inflate tires if necessary.
4.10 HOPPER/SIDE DISCHARGE
OPERATION
A control lever located on the left side of the tractor
selects either hopper discharge or side discharge to the
outside. When the lever is placed in the hopper position
(Figure 4-9), the side discharge is covered and the hopper
discharge is opened. When the lever is placed in the side
discharge position (Figure 4-10), the hopper discharge is
covered and the side discharge is opened.
-NOTE-
If the control lever sticks, push the r elease lever to
free it.
Grass Catching Operation
CAUTION:
Never leave grass clippings in the hopper after
mowing. Wet or damp clippings will generate heat
as they decompose which may cause spontaneous
combustion to occur.
1. Place the hopper/side discharge control lever in the
hopper discharge position (Figure 4-9).
2. With the hopper lowered, engage the deck drive.
When the deck drive is engaged, the grass delivery
spout, which is designed to distribute the grass
clippings through the inside of the hopper, will begin
to oscillate. If the spout does not oscillate, do not use
the grass catcher. Use the side dischar ge and then
have the oscillating spout system repaired.
Release Lever in This
Position for Hopper Discharge
Figure 4-9 Hopper Operation Position
Release Lever in This
Position for Side Disharge
Figure 4-10 Side Discharge Operation Position
-NOTE-
The mower has an interlock switch that will
prevent the mower from starting if the hopper is
in the raised position. This interlock switch will
also shut the engine off if the hopper is raised
while the engine is running and the deck drive is
engaged.
3. Proceed to mow the lawn until the hopper is full. If
your mower is not equipped with the optional hopper
full alarm to tell you when the hopper is full, check
the hopper frequently when first using the grass
catcher. After operating with the grass catcher for
awhile, experience will tell you when the hopper is
full.
4. When dumping the hopper into a disposal area:
A.Disengage the deck drive.
WARNING:
Never operate the grass catcher with the
hopper back door open. Objects can be
thrown out the spout of the hopper with a
force that can cause injury to bystanders or
property damage.

Section 4
B. Raise the tailgate until the u-bolt on top of the
hopper engages with the latch on the tailgate
(Figure 4-11).
U-Bolt and Latch
Figure 4-11 Tailgate Operation
E.Release the latch holding the tailgate and then
lower the tailgate. Be careful when lowering the
tailgate. It is spring loaded and will close with
some force.
Side Discharge Operation
CAUTION:
The side discharge chute can throw objects with
great force. Do not stand in front of discharge
chute when the cutter deck is engaged.
When mowing, never discharge toward bystanders or
buildings. Do not allow anyone near the machine while
in operation.
1. Place the hopper/side discharge control lever in the
side discharge position (Figure 4-10).
C.Stand off to side of the hopper . Raise the hopper
by placing a hand in the hand hole at either
bottom front side of the hopper (Figure 4-12) and
then carefully lift the hopper until it is in its
upright position and the hopper is emptied.

2. Engage the deck drive.
3. Proceed to mow the lawn.
4.11 REMOVING CLOGGED MATERIAL
ROTATING BLOWER BLADES
NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS INTO THE BLOWER
DISCHARGE CHUTE FOR ANY REASON! Shut off
the engine and remove the key and only then use
a stick or similar object to remove material if
clogging has occurred.
1. If either blower discharge chute becomes clogged,
shut off the engine and remove the ignition key .
Using a stick or similar item, dislodge the clogged
material. Then resume normal mowing.
15
Page 22
Section 4
2. If the blower intake becomes clogged, there could be
a distinct change in the sound of the blower and/or
the mower deck will begin to leave a trail of glass
clippings. The clogging will generally develop in the
back of the mower deck in the opening of the blower
chute. When clogging occurs at this point, it's
usually caused by something restricting the flow
throughout the entire system and the system should
be checked if a pattern develops.
3. Check the following:
A. Check that the blades are properly installed for
correct rotation. See Section 7.
B. Check that the cutting height is not too low.
When cutting thick, tall grass, lower cutting
height settings tend to restrict the airflow moving
into and under the deck.
C. Check that the deck housing and baffling is free
of grass and dirt buildup. Some material buildup
can be tolerated, but when a buildup occurs that
restricts the flow of air and grass clippings, the
mower deck must be cleaned.
D. Check that the blades have enough flat section at
the blade tip. Sharpening of the blades will
remove this flat section and if too much is
removed, the air lift capability of the blade is
greatly reduced. Replace the blades if more than
1/3 of blade is removed at the blade tip. See
section 7.10.
4.12 MOVING MOWER WITH ENGINE
STOPPED
T o “free-wheel” or move the mower around without the
engine running, place the dump valve handle in the
FREE-WHEEL position (Figure 4-2). Disengage the
parking brake and move the mower by hand. The lever
must be returned to the DRIVE position to drive the
mower.
4.13 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOWING
1. Do not mow with dull blades. A dull blade will tear
grass, resulting in poor lawn appearance and
requiring extra power.
2. Direct the side discharge away from sidewalks or
streets to minimize cleanup of clippings. When
mowing close to obstacles, direct the discharge away
from the obstacles to reduce the chance of property
damage by thrown objects.
3. Cut grass when it is dry and not too tall. Do not cut
grass too short (cut off 1/3 or less of existing grass
for best appearance). Mow frequently .
4. Keep mower and discharge system clean.
5. When mowing wet or tall grass, mow the grass twice.
Raise the mower to the highest setting for the first
pass and then make a second pass to the desired
height.
E. Check the discharge chutes for accumulation of
dirt and material that would restrict flow . Clean
the discharge chutes as described above.
F. Check the elbow inside the hopper for a buildup
of material in the radius.
G. Check that the screen in the hopper is not
plugged with materials. If plugged, remove and
clean screen as described in section 7.13.
H. Remember, anything that restricts airflow or
material flow along the entire path from the
mower deck to the hopper can cause clogging.
6. Use a slow travel speed for trimming purposes.
7. Operate the engine at or near full throttle for best
cutting. Mowing with a lower RPM causes the
mower to tear the grass. The engine is designed to be
operated at full speed.
8. Use the alternate stripe pattern for best lawn
appearance. Vary the direction of the stripe each
time the grass is mowed to avoid wear patterns in the
grass.

6.2 TRA VEL ADJUSTMENTS
Neutral or tracking adjustments will need to be made if:
A. The speed control lever is in neutral and the
machine creeps forward or backward. (Neutral
Adjustment)
B. The mower pulls to one side or the other when
traveling in a forward direction. (Tracking
Adjustment).
If the mower creeps forward or backward as indicated in
"A" above, the neutral linkages must be adjusted. Start
with adjusting the speed control lever and proceed as
directed. T o correct the tracking of the mower (mower
pulls to one side when traveling in a forward direction),
adjust the tracking of the mower as described on page 27.
CAUTION:
Stop the engine and remove the key from the
ignition before making any adjustments. Wait
for all moving parts to come to a complete stop
before beginning work.
CAUTION:
The engine and drive unit can get hot during
operation causing burn injuries. Allow engine
and drive components to cool before making
any adjustments.
Speed Control Lever Adjustment
-IMPORTANT-
Before proceeding with this adjustment, be sure that
the tire pressure in the three tires is correct, that the
caster wheels turn freely, and that the two
transmission drive belts are adjusted for the correct
tension.
1. Place the speed control lever in the neutral position
(Figure 6-4).
24

3. If the adjustments are okay and you need to adjust
the neutral linkages, proceed with the Neutral
Adjustment procedures. If the speed control requires
adjustment, adjust as follows:
A. Loosen both jam nuts (A & B, Figure 6-6) on the
adjusting rod (C).
-NOTE-
All turnbuckles have a left hand threaded nut and a
right hand threaded nut. The left hand nut is located
next to the ball joint that has a groove etched into its
outer surface.
B. Using a wrench on the hex portion of the
adjusting rod, turn the adjusting rod (C) in the
required direction to move the bellcrank against
the bushing. When the correct adjustment is
obtained, tighten the two jam nuts (A & B).
2. Check that the speed control bellcrank (Figure 6-5) is
touching the bushing on the frame and that the block
on the speed control lever has engaged the neutral
switch (Figure 6-4). The switch button should not be
fully compressed. If the switch is engaged, but the
bellcrank is not touching the bushing, full speed will
not be obtainable.
Resting On
Bushing
C. Proceed with the Neutral Adjustment.
Neutral Adjustment
1. Locate the left hand speed control lever. Using a
ruler, check the distance between the ball joint and
the center of the pivot point of the lever (Figure 6-6).
The dimension must be 4-1/2 inches or be in the
center of the slot. If correct, proceed to step 2. If
incorrect, loosen the lock nut securing the ball joint to
the lever and relocate the ball joint to the correct
position.
2. Loosen the two jam nuts (D & E, Figure 6-6) on the
right side neutral linkage and the two jam nuts
(F & G) on left side neutral linkage.
3. With a person seated in the operator’s seat, disengage
the parking brake and start the mower’s engine.
Figure 6-5 Bellcrank Touching Bushing
4. SLOWLY rotate the turnbuckle (H, Figure 6-6) on
the right side until the mower starts to creep forward.
When the mower starts to creep forward, stop the
movement and turn the turnbuckle back 1/2 turn or
three flats (Figure 6-6).

When the mower starts to creep forward, stop the
movement and turn the turnbuckle back 1/2 turn or
three flats (Figure 6-6).
7. Tighten jam nuts (F & G) on the left side and
remaining jam nut (D) on the right side.
8. When the speed control lever is actuated, the mower
should travel in a straight line. If it travels straight,
perform the Tracking Adjustment procedures. If the
mower pulls to one side, it is an indication that one of
the wheels is coming out of neutral before the other .
This condition must be corrected as follows:
A. If the mower pulls to the right, it is an indication
that the left wheel is coming out of neutral before
the right wheel. If the mower pulls to the left, it
is an indication that the right wheel is coming out
of neutral before the left wheel.

1) If the mower pulls to the left, loosen both
jam nuts (F & G) and lengthen turnbuckle
(J). T ighten the jam nuts and drive the
mower forward. Repeat this procedure until
both wheels start to turn at the same time.
2) If the mower pulls to the right, loosen both
jam nuts (F & G) and shorten turnbuckle (J).
Tighten the jam nuts and drive the mower
forward. Repeat this procedure until both
wheels start to turn at the same time.
-NOTE-
This adjustment affects the tracking of the mower.
Turning the turnbuckle (J) one or two flats has an
adverse effect throughout the tracking range.
If the mower pulls one way at slow speed and then
pulls the other way at fast speed, a tracking
adjustment needs to be done.

Tracking Adjustment
-IMPORTANT-
Before proceeding with this adjustment, be sure that
the tire pressure in the three tires is correct, that the
caster wheels turn freely, and that the two
transmission drive belts are adjusted for the correct
tension.
The mower tracking should be adjusted if during low
speed the mower pulls in one direction and then pulls in
the opposite direction as you go faster.
1. If at full speed the mower pulls right, it is an
indication that the left wheel is turning too fast. T o
adjust this condition, loosen the lock nut securing the
swivel joint (N, Figure 6-6) to the left hand control
lever . Move the linkage outward in the slot. This
will lengthen the control arm and cause it to stroke
the pump less, slowing down the left wheel.
Figure 6-7 Gap Measurement
2. If at full speed the mower pulls to the left, it is an
indication that the left wheel is turning too slow. To
adjust this condition, loosen the locknut securing the
swivel joint (N) to the left hand control lever . Move
the linkage inward in the slot. This will shorten the
control arm and cause it to stroke the pump more,
speeding up the left wheel.
Steering Handle Adjustment
-NOTE-
Changing the Neutral Adjustment will move the
handle locations.
Check for a 3/4 inch gap between the control levers and the
frame (Figure 6-7). If this gap is not correct between
either handle, adjust the gap as follows:
1. Shut off the mower’s engine and engage the parking
brake.
2. Tilt the mower deck and lock it in place with the two
deck prop rods. Refer to Section 4 for the correct
procedure.
3. Remove the two deck springs and swing the deck
spring bracket up. If this is not done, the bracket will
contact the control levers when the seat is raised.
Figure 6-8 Raised Seat Bracket
4. Raise the seat far enough to gain access to the control
linkages, but not far enough to contact the control
levers with the seat bracket. Support seat bracket in
the raised position.
5. Loosen the two jam nuts (K & L, Figure 6-6) on the
left control linkage. Turn the turnbuckle (M) until a
gap of 3/4 inches is obtained between the handle and
the frame. Tighten the two jam nuts (K & L).
6. Loosen the two jam nuts (N & P) on the right control
linkage. Turn the turnbuckle (Q) until the right
handle is in line with the left handle (Figure 6-6).
Tighten the two jam nuts (N & P).

7.3 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A. Checking Hydraulic Oil Level
The hydraulic oil level should be checked after the first
10 hours of operation. Thereafter, check the oil after
every 200 hours of machine operation or monthly ,
whichever occurs first.
-IMPORTANT-
If the oil level is consistently low, check for
leaks and correct immediately.
1. Wipe dirt and contaminants from around the
reservoir cap. Remove the cap from the hydraulic oil
reservoir.
2. Visually check the level of hydraulic oil. Hydraulic
oil must be at least 2-1/4" inches from top of the
filler neck. If the level cannot be determined visually,
use a clean tape measure to check the level. If the
fluid is low , add 20W50 motor oil. DO NOT
overfill; (overfilling the oil reservoir may cause oil
seepage).
B. Changing Hydraulic Oil
The hydraulic oil should be changed after every 500
hours or annually , whichever occurs first. The oil
should also be changed if the color of the fluid has
become black or milky. A black color and/or a
rancid odor usually indicates possible overheating of
the oil, and a milky color usually indicates water in
the hydraulic oil.
-NOTE-
The hydraulic oil should be changed if you
notice the presence of water or a rancid
odor to the hydraulic oil.
1. Park the mower on a level surface and stop the
engine.
2. Place a suitable container under the hydraulic oil
reservoir . Remove the cap from the tee installed in
the hydraulic oil reservoir. (See Figure 7-2). Allow
the fluid to drain into the container and properly
discard it.
3. Install the cap onto the tee and be sure it is tight.
3. Clean the fill cap and install it onto the reservoir.
Hydraulic OIl Reservoir
Drain Cap
4. Remove the fill cap from the reservoir and fill the
reservoir to 2-1/4" inches from the top of the filler
neck with 20W50 motor oil.
5. Start the engine and drive forward and backward for
two minutes. Check the oil level in the reservoir. If
necessary , add oil to the reservoir.
6. Replace the reservoir fill cap.
C. Changing Hydraulic Oil Filter Element
The hydraulic oil filter should be changed after every 500
hours of operation or annually , whichever occurs first.
1. Remove the oil filter element (Figure 7-3) and
properly discard it. Fill the new filter with clean oil
and install the filter. Hand tighten only.

7.7 BATTERY
A. Checking Electrolyte Level and Cleaning
Battery
After every 40 hours of operation or weekly , whichever
occurs first, check the electrolyte level in the battery and
clean the battery and connections. Dirt and fluid on the
top of the battery can cause the battery to discharge.
Corrosion of the battery terminals or loose connections
will cause poor battery performance.
WARNING:
WARNING:
Electric storage battery fluid contains sulfuric
acid which is POISON and can cause SEVERE
CHEMICAL BURNS. Avoid contact of fluid
with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use proper
protective gear when handling batteries. DO
NOT tip any battery beyond 45° angle in any
direction. If fluid contact does occur, follow
first aid suggestions below.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE FIRST AID
EXTERNAL CONTACT — Flush with water.
Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and
explosive gases. To avoid personal injury
when checking, testing or charging
batteries, DO NOT use smoking materials
near batteries. Keep arcs, sparks and
flames away from batteries. Provide proper
ventilation and wear safety glasses.
EYES — Flush with water for at least 15
minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
INTERNAL — Drink large quantities of water.
Follow with Milk Of Magnesia, beaten egg,
or vegetable oil. Get medical attention
immediately. In case of internal contact, DO
NOT give fluids that would induce vomiting.
1. Loosen the two plastic wing nuts under fender and then
remove the battery cover .
2. Remove the battery cell caps. Visually inspect
electrolyte level in the cells. If electrolyte is
below the bottom of vent well, fill with clean distilled
water to the bottom of vent wells (1/4 to 1/2 inch
above the plates). Install the battery cell caps.
35
Page 42
-IMPORTANT-
Do not overfill the battery. Electrolyte will
overflow through the vent tube onto parts of
the machine, resulting in severe corrosion.
3. Clean the cable ends and battery posts with steel wool.
Use a solution of baking soda and water to clean the
battery . Do not allow the solution to enter the battery
cells.
4. Tighten the cable connections securely and apply a
light coat of silicone dielectric grease to the terminal
connections to prevent corrosion.
Section 7
WARNING:
BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES.
Charge the battery in a well ventilated space
so gases produced while charging can
dissipate.
Charging rates between 3 and 50 amperes are satisfactory
if excessive gassing or spewing of electrolyte does not
occur or the battery does not feel excessively hot (over
125°F). If spewing or gassing occurs or the temperature
exceeds 125°F , the charging rate must be reduced or
temporarily stopped to permit cooling.
5. Install the battery cover.
B. Charging the Battery
Refer to the battery charger’s manual for specific
instructions.
Under normal conditions the engine’s alternator will have
no problem keeping a charge on the battery . If the
battery has been completely discharged for a long period
of time, the alternator may not be able to recharge the
battery , and a battery charger will be required.
DO NOT charge a frozen battery. It may explode and
cause injury . Let the battery warm before attaching a
charger.
Whenever possible, remove the battery from the mower
before charging and make sure the electrolyte covers the
plates in all cells.
C. Jump Starting
1. The booster battery must be a 12 volt type. If a
vehicle is used for jump starting, it must have a
negative ground system.
2. When connecting the jumper cables, connect the
positive cable to the positive battery post, then
connect the negative cable to the negative battery
post.
7.8 DRIVE BELTS

The Scag mower, including any defective part must be returned to an Authorized Scag Service Dealer within the warranty period.
The expense of delivering the mower to the dealer for warranty work and the expense of returning it to the owner after repair
