Connecting the Battery Cables

AWARNING

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.__________

A CAUTION

When attaching battery cables, always connect the POSITIVE (Red)
wire to its terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.

For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment may
have been left disconnected from the terminals at the factory. To

connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:

NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The negative
battery terminal is marked Neg. (-).

NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip ahead to
step 2.

1. Remove the plastic cover, it present, from the positive battery

terminal and attach the red cable to the positive battery terminal
(+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3.

Figure 3

2.

Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the negative battery

terminal and attach the black cable to the negative battery
terminal (-) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3.

3.

Position the red rubber boot over the positive battery terminal to
help protect it from corrosion.

NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown on top/
side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in the Service and
Maintenance section of this Operator’s Manual prior to operating the
tractor.

Checking Tire Pressure

AWARNING

Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure shown on the sidewall

of the tire. Do not overinflate tires. Check sidewall of tires for maxi­
mum psi. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times.

The tires on your tractor may be overinflated for shipping purposes.

Reduce the tire pressure before operating the tractor. Check sidewall

of tires for maximum psi.

Adjusting the Seat

To adjust the position of the seat, pull up and hold the seat adjustment
lever. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the desired position; then

release the adjustment lever. Make sure seat is locked into position in

a seat-stop before operating the tractor. See Figure 4.

AWARNING

Before operating the tractor, make sure the seat is engaged in a
seat-stop. Engage the parking brake. Stand behind the machine and
pull back on seat until it clicks into place._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
