Removing the Battery
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
1.
Flip the seat all the way forward.
2.
Remove the hex screw securing the
black negative battery lead (a) to the
negative battery post (marked NEG).
Move the cable away from the negative
battery post. See Figure 4-5.
3.
Remove the hex screw securing the red
positive battery lead (b) to the positive
battery post (marked POS). Move the
cable away from the positive battery
post. See Figure 4-5.

Locate and hold the carriage bolt (a) at
the front of the battery bracket (c) to
prevent it from falling. See Figure 4-6.
5.
Remove the hex lock nut (b) securing
the battery bracket (c) in place. Save
the carriage bolt and hex lock nut for
later reinstallation. See Figure 4-6.

Using the Transmission Bypass Levers
If for any reason the mower will not drive
or you wish to move the mower, the two
hydrostatic transmissions are equipped with
a bypass rod that will allow you to manually
move the mower short distances.
WARNING
Do not tow the mower, even with the bypass rod
engaged. Serious transmission damage will result
from doing so.

1.
Engage the transmission bypass valves
by pulling the bypass lever (a) upward
and all the way back. See Figure 4-7.

2.
To release the bypass lever (a), push the
lever forward.
Hydrostatic Transmission
The 900 series are equipped with dual
integrated hydrostatic pumps/transaxles
that are equipped with a transmission oil
expansion reservoir. Under normal operating
conditions, the oil level in the expansion
reservoir does not need to be checked and
no additional oil is needed. If checking the
reservoir oil level, proceed as follows:
Check the oil level ONLY before starting the mower when
the transmission oil is fully cooled.
1.
Pivot the operator's seat forward and
clean the reservoir cap and the area
around the cap to prevent debris from
contaminating the transmission oil. See
Figure 4-8.
2.
Turn the reservoir cap counter-
clockwise to remove, then check the
oil level in the reservoir. Oil should be
visible at the bottom of the cup, but the
oil level must NOT be above the "FULL
COLD" line. See Figure 4-8. DO NOT FILL
THE RESERVOIR.
3.
If necessary to add oil because of some
type of leakage, add only enough oil to
bring the level to the "FULL COLD" line.
Reinstall the cap and fully tighten.
NOTE: Prior to the initial operation
of the mower, the oil level in the
reservoir may be slightly higher than
the maximum due to air in the oil lines.
Operation of the mower will eventually
purge the air from the lines and the oil
level will settle to the maximum.
To change the transmission oil:
1.
Remove the cap from the transmission
oil expansion reservoir.

2.
Place a suitable container under the
drain plug (a) on the transmission.
Remove the drain plug (a) and allow the
transmission oil to drain. See Figure 4-9.

Figure 4-9
3.
Using a pair of needle-nose pliers or a
magnet remove the filter.
4.
Replace the filter and drain plug
(torque to 115-135 in-lbs) and fill
through the expansion reservoir slowly
until the "FULL COLD" line. Allow the
transmission oil to move through the
system and top off as necessary.
5.
Replace the cap and fully tighten.
Mower Storage
If your mower is not going to be operated
for an extended period of time (30 days
to approximately six months), the mower
should be prepared for storage. Store the
mower in a dry and protected location. If
stored outside, cover the mower (including
the tires) to protect it from the elements.
The procedures outlined below should be
performed whenever the mower is placed
in storage.
1.
Change the engine oil and filter
following the instructions provided in
the Engine Operator's Manual packed
with this manual.
WARNING
Never store the mower with fuel in the tank indoors or
in poorly ventilated enclosures, where fuel fumes may
reach an open flame, spark, or pilot light as on a furnace,
water heater, clothes dryer, etc.
a.
To prevent gum deposits from
forming inside the engine's
carburetor and causing possible
malfunction of the engine, use
a fuel stabilizer or completely
empty the fuel system for storage
between 30 and 90 days:
WARNING
Fuel left in the fuel tank deteriorates and will cause
serious starting problems.
•
Read the product
manufacturer's instructions
and recommendations.
•
Add to clean, fresh gasoline
the correct amount of
stabilizer for the capacity
(approximately 3 gallons) of
the fuel system.
