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 />

Connection<br />
1. Remove the bolt, nut, axle spacer tube, and<br />
spacer washers from each deck caster wheel<br />
fork.<br />
NOTE: Spacer washers are used only when<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 />
