Tire Pressure Check

For correct traction and best mowing performance, make sure
that the tire inflation pressure is 12-14 psi (0,82-0,96 bar).
Refer to Tire Pressure Check in the Maintenance Schedule.
Also, see Tire Inflation Pressure in the Specifications section.
Note: The Tire Inflation Pressure can be slightly different from
the "Maximum Inflation" shown on the side of the tires.

When removing or installing battery cables, disconnect the
negative cable FIRST and reconnect it LAST. If not done in
this order, the positive terminal can be shorted to the frame
by a tool.

2. Disconnect the POSITIVE (red) cables last.
3. Remove the battery as shown in Figure 8.
4. Clean the battery surface with baking soda and water.
5. Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a wire
brush and battery terminal cleaner until shiny.
6. Lubricate the battery terminals with petroleum jelly or
non-conducting grease.
7. Install the battery.
8. Connect the POSITIVE (red) cables first.

Charge the Battery
WARNING
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 can be the
result of a defect in the charging system or other electrical
component. If there is any doubt about the cause of the
problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the battery,
see Clean the Battery and Cables.
ENGINE
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by the
battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings included
in the safety rules sections of this book. Charge the battery
until fully charged. Do not charge at a rate higher than 10
amps.

Mower Blade Stop Time

If the mower blade does not come to a complete stop within
5 seconds, the clutch must be adjusted. Do not operate the
machine until the correct adjustment has been performed by
a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer.
