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 charged, disconnect the charger
from the electrical outlet and battery posts. Allow the
battery to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before proceeding
to the next step.
Note: After the battery has been activated, add
only distilled water to replace normal loss, although
maintenance-free batteries should not require water
under normal operating conditions.
8. Insert the battery into the tray in the battery
compartment. Position the battery so that the
terminals are to the inside.
WARNING
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal machine components causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to
explode, resulting in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do
not allow the battery terminals to touch any
metal parts of the machine.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of the
machine.
WARNING
Battery terminals or metal tools could short
against metal tractor components causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to
explode, resulting in personal injury.
• When removing or installing the battery, do
not allow the battery terminals to touch any
metal parts of the tractor.
• Do not allow metal tools to short between
the battery terminals and metal parts of the
tractor.
9. Attach the positive cable (red cable from the ignition
switch) to the positive (+) terminal.
10. Attach the negative cable (black cable from the
engine block) to the negative (–) terminal of the
battery.
Important: Make sure there is clearance
between the battery cables and the speed
selector lever. Verify that the speed selector lever
does not come within 1 inch (2.5 cm) of either
battery cable when it is moved through its entire
range of motion. Do not wire tie or tape the
negative and positive battery cables together.
WARNING
Incorrect battery cable routing could damage
the machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks
can cause the battery gasses to explode,
resulting in personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black)
battery cable before disconnecting the
positive (red) cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery
cable before connecting the negative (black)
cable.
11. Coat the terminals and mounting fasteners with
petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
12. Install the battery cover and secure it with the
springs.

Procedure
To ensure proper debris pickup, make sure the sweeper
frame is parallel with the ground.
1. Position the machine on a flat, level surface.
2. Insert the sweeper jack caster wheel onto the
sweeper end of the jack tube.
3. Adjust the sweeper jack so that the distance from
the top of the frame to the ground is approximately
23–1/2 inches (59.69 cm) (Figure 3).
