Activating the Battery
Warning
Important Do not overfill the battery because
electrolyte (sulfuric acid) can severely corrode and damage
the chassis.
3. Wait 5 to 10 minutes after filling the battery cells.
CALIFORNIA
Proposition 65 Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
Purchase bulk electrolyte with 1.260 specific gravity from a
local battery supply outlet.
Important Never fill the battery with electrolyte while
the battery is installed in the tractor. Electrolyte could be
spilled on other parts and corrode them.
1. Remove the battery and battery box from the tractor;
refer to Removing the Battery in the Operator’s
Manual.
Danger
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, a deadly
poison that can severely burn you.
4. Add electrolyte, if necessary, until the electrolyte level
is up to the Upper line (Fig. 5) on the battery case.
5. Install the battery vent caps.
6. Charge the battery for 1 hour at 25 to 30 amps or 6
hours at 4 to 6 amps (Fig. 6). Do not overcharge the
battery.

• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
• Follow all instructions and comply with all
safety messages on the electrolyte container.
2. Remove the vent caps from the battery. Slowly pour
electrolyte into each battery cell until the electrolyte
level is up to the Upper line on the battery case (Fig. 5).

Warning
Charging the battery produces gasses that can
explode.
Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and
flames away from the battery.
7. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger
from the electrical outlet, then disconnect the charger
leads from the battery posts (Fig. 6).
8. Install the battery and battery box in the tractor and
connect the battery cables; refer to Installing the Battery
in the Operator’s Manual.

Checking the Oil Level
Checking the Hydro Neutral
The tractor comes from the factory with oil in the engine
crankcase; however, you may need to add oil. Refer to
Servicing the Engine Oil in the Operator’s Manual for oil
type, viscosity, and crankcase capacity. Add only enough
oil to raise the level to the Full mark on the dipstick.
Lubricating the Tractor
Ensure all of the necessary points on the tractor are
lubricated; refer to Greasing and Lubrication in the
Operator’s Manual.
Checking the Safety System
Refer to Testing the Safety System in the Operator’s
Manual.
Purging the Hydro Transaxle
During shipping and handling, air can enter into the hydro
transaxle. To achieve proper performance, remove all the
trapped air.
1. Move the tractor onto a flat, level surface.
2. Set the drive control to the Push position (Fig. 7).
1
Position
Ensure that the neutral position is set properly. Adjust it if
the tractor moves when you do not press on the traction
control pedal.
1. Run the engine at a low idle and move the traction
control pedal forward, then release it.
2. Move the traction control pedal to reverse, then release
it. If the tractor moves, proceed as follows:
3. Run the tractor for 5 to 10 minutes to warm up the
transaxle.
4. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, stop the
engine, and remove the ignition key.
5. Raise the right rear wheel off of the ground and support
it with a jack stand.
Note: Ensure that the left rear wheel stays on the
ground.
Danger
Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to support
the machine and cause a serious injury.
• Use jack stands when supporting the machine.
• Do not use hydraulic jacks.
Note: To gain access to the adjusting puck (Fig. 8), you
may need to remove the tire.

rotates forward or reverse.
9. Hold the puck with an adjustable wrench so that it will
not move; then tighten and torque the adjusting puck
screw to 21 to 27 ft-lb (28 to 36 N⋅m).
10.Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
11. Lower the tractor from the jack stand.
12.Check the adjustment again by repeating step 1.
Checking the Traction Control
Pedal
You can adjust the traction control pedal for optimum
forward and reverse speeds.
1. Loosen the screws below the right footrest.
2. Slide the pedal forward for faster reverse speed or
backward for faster forward speed (Fig. 9).
