Checking Tire Pressure
Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Refer to the tire
sidewall for proper pressure.
The tires on your tractor may be over-inflated for shipping purposes. Reduce the tire
pressure before operating the tractor.
The recommended operating tire pressure is 14 psi for the front and rear tires
NOTE: Equal tire pressure is critical for level cutting deck performance.
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.
When attaching battery cables, always 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 Pos. (+). The negative battery
terminal is marked Neg. (–).
NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip ahead to step 2.
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 Figure 8.
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 Figure 8.

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 Service section your
Operator's Manual prior to operating the tractor.
Setting the Deck Wheels
Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of the cutting deck.
NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and are not designed to
support the weight of the cutting deck.
Move the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably pavement, and proceed as follows:
1. Check the tire pressure, make sure the pressure is correct and equal on all tires.
2. Make sure the deck is level, both front-to-back and side-to-side. See the
Maintenance & Adjustments section for deck leveling information and instructions.
3. Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing the deck lift lever in
the normally desired mowing height setting.
4. Check the wheels for contact or excessive clearance with the surface below.
The deck wheels should have between ¼" and ½" clearance above the
ground. Proceed as follows to adjust the wheels:
a. Raise the deck lift handle to its highest setting.
b. Remove the front and rear deck wheels by removing the flange lock
nuts and shoulder bolts that secure them to the deck. See Figure 9.
c. Place the deck lift lever in the desired mowing height setting.
d. Reinsert the shoulder bolt (with each deck wheel) into the index
hole that leaves approximately ½-inch between the bottom of the
wheel and the pavement. Tighten the flange lock nut and shoulder
bolt to between 25-30 ft-lbs using a torque wrench.
NOTE: Refer to Adjusting the Deck in the Maintenance & Adjustments section of
this manual for more detailed instructions regarding various deck adjustments.
