Assembly Instructions<br />

3. After the battery is filled with electrolyte, replace<br />

the filler caps and charge the battery. Refer to<br />

Battery Charging.<br />

Battery Charging<br />

DANGER<br />

BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES<br />

• Charge the battery in a well-ventilated<br />

area, so that gases produced while charging<br />

can dissipate.<br />

WARNING<br />

Make sure the battery cap vents are open.<br />

Improper venting of the battery COULD<br />

cause a battery explosion.<br />

Battery Clamp<br />

Secured by<br />

Wing Nut(s)<br />

• Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials<br />

away from the battery at all times.<br />

• Make sure the battery cap vents are<br />

open after the battery is filled with acid<br />

(check manifold vent on each cap).<br />

• Make sure the battery charger is unplugged<br />

before connecting or disconnecting<br />

cables to the battery.<br />

1. Charge the battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes.<br />

DO NOT exceed 20 amps maximum recommended<br />

charging rate. Charge until specific<br />

gravity is at least 1.250. Total charging time<br />

should not exceed one (1) hour.<br />

2. After charging the battery, adjust the electrolyte<br />

level to the bottom of the vent wells [1/4 to 1/2 in.<br />

(6 to 13 mm) above the plates].<br />

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill the battery.<br />

Electrolyte will overflow through the vented caps<br />

onto parts of the machine and WILL result in<br />

severe corrosion.<br />

3. Install battery.<br />

Battery Installation<br />

Install the battery in the mower as shown in Battery<br />

Installation photo. Connect the positive and negative<br />

cables to the proper battery terminal (red cable<br />

and boot connects to the Positive (+) terminal).<br />

Slide the rubber boot up and over the battery post,<br />

making sure it covers the post completely to prevent<br />

an electrical short.<br />

the optional semi-pneumatic deck wheels (8.25<br />

x 2.75) are installed.<br />

2. Fit the axle spacer tube through the wheel hub,<br />

position the spacer washer on each side of the<br />

hub (if used), and fit the assembly into the wheel<br />

fork.<br />

3. Insert the 3/8-16 x 4-1/2 in. bolt through the<br />

wheel fork with the bolt head to the outside and<br />

install the 3/8-16 in. Keps nut.<br />

4. Tighten the bolt and nut until the axle spacer<br />

tube bottoms against the inside of the wheel<br />

fork (will not turn) while the wheel and spacer<br />

washers (if used) spin freely without binding.<br />
