Emissions Control Service
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by
any off-road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain "no charge" emissions control service, the
work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer. See
the Emissions Control Statements.
Checking Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically (see
Figure 17), and maintained at the levels shown in
14
the Specifications chart. Note that these pressures may
differ slightly from the "Max Inflation" stamped on the side-
wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper traction
and extend tire life.

Check Mower Blade Stopping Time

Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a
complete stop within five seconds after the electric PTO
switch is turned off.
WARNING
Unsafe Operation Hazard
If the mower blade does not come to a complete stop within
5 seconds, the blade must be adjusted. Do not operate the
machine until the proper adjustment has been performed by
an authorized dealer.
Check the mower blade for proper function. See Safety
Interlock System Tests. The blade should stop rotating in 5
seconds or less after moving the blade control to the OFF
position.

this order, the positive terminal can be shorted to the frame
by a tool.
Cleaning the Battery and Cables
1. Disconnect the cables from the battery, negative cable
first (B, Figure 18).
2. Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a wire
brush until shiny.
3. Reinstall the battery and reattach the battery cables,
positive cable first (A, Figure 18).
4. Coat the cable ends and battery terminals with petroleum
jelly or non-conducting grease.
5. Be sure to replace the terminal cover over the positive
battery terminal (A, Figure 18).
Charging The Battery
WARNING
Explosion and Fire Hazard
Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the
gasses coming from it are highly explosive. Ventilate the
battery well during charging.
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may be
the result of a defect in the charging system or other electrical
