Connecting the Battery Cables
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.
CAUTION:
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 Positive (+). The
negative battery terminal is marked Negative (–).
1. Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the positive (+)
battery terminal and attach the red cable to the positive (+)
battery terminal with the bolt and hex nut. See Fig. 3-3.
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 Fig. 3-3.
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 Maintenance
section your Operator's Manual prior to operating the tractor.

Setting the Deck Gauge Wheels
Move the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably
pavement, and proceed as follows
1. Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing
the lift lever in the normally desired mowing height setting
(any of the ten different cutting height notches on the right
fender for manual lifts or 6 positions for electric lift).
2. Check the gauge wheels for contact or excessive clearance
with the surface below. The deck gauge wheels should
have between ¼" and ½" clearance above the ground as
follows:
If the gauge wheels have excessive clearance or contact with the
surface, adjust as follows:
1. Raise the lift handle to its highest setting.
2. Remove the front and rear gauge wheels on the deck by
removing the carriage bolts and flange lock nuts. See Fig. 3-4.
3. Place the lift lever in the desired mowing height setting.
