Replacing the Carbon Canister (Pro and Pro-XL Models)
Tools needed:

Wire Cutters

Pliers
Note: The 20hp Kohler in the only machine that has the Throttle Cable secured to
the Carbon Canister.
1. Cut the Cable Tie that is securing the Throttle Cable to the Carbon canister
(Figure 37).
2. Pull the Filter from the Carbon Canister.
3. Cut the two Cable Ties that are securing the Carbon canister to the Canister
Brackets.
4. Slide the Hose Clamp down from the Hose connection with Pliers and twist
the Hoses from the Canister (Figure 38).
Note: The Hoses MUST be installed onto the new Canister in the same location as
they were on the old Canister. The Canister is labeled “Purge” (this hose is from the
engine) and “Tank” (this hose is from the top of the fuel tank).
5. Install the Hoses onto the new Carbon Canister and position the Hose
Clamp with Pliers.
6. Slide new Cable Ties through the Canister Brackets and position the Canister
onto the Brackets with the Tabs on the bottom of the Canister into the Bracket
cavities. Make sure the Filter is facing down (the filter can be rotated if needed).
7. Tighten the Cable Clamps around the Canister and cut the excess with Wire
Cutters.
8. 20 HP Kohler only - Wrap another Cable Tie around the Throttle Cable and
Carbon canister and tighten. Cut the excess Cable Tie with Wire Cutters.
Note: Before tightening the Cable Tie make sure there will be enough slack in the
Throttle Cable for Tow Bar side to side movement.
Battery Care (Pro and Pro-XL Models)
Proper care can extend the life of a Battery. Follow these recommendations to ensure your Battery’s best performance and long
life:

Do not allow the Battery charge to get too low. If the machine is not used, charge the Battery every 4 – 6 weeks. Operate the
Engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper Battery charge.
 Store an unused Battery in a dry area that does not freeze.

Do not charge an already charged Battery. In theory, you cannot overcharge our Battery with a trickle charger; however, when a
Battery is fully charged and the charger is still on, it generates heat that could be harmful to the Battery. A fully charged Battery
will read 12V-13.2V with a voltmeter.

Do not continue to crank the Engine when the Battery charge is low.
