MAINTENANCE
Battery Voltage Light
A battery voltage light can indicate that voltage is
below the normal operating power.
If the battery is low when a start attempt is made,
the battery indicator button will light up. This is
an indication the battery should be charged. It
will not prevent additional start attempts as long
as remaining charge is capable of cranking the
engine. The button can also indicate a charge
system failure if it lights up during operation.
Battery Charge System
When the unit is in ready mode (blinking green),
press and hold the battery button for three
seconds. The S/S button indicator will show red
(battery charge level is low), multi-colored (battery
charge is marginal) or green (battery level is
good) until the battery button is pressed again or
is allowed to reset after ten seconds.
6. Install new battery with cable terminals routed
to the center of the battery.
7. Reinstall battery hold-down and attach with
nuts removed in Step 4.
8. Reconnect RED battery cable to positive (+)
battery terminal with bolt and hex nut.
9. Connect BLACK grounding cable to negative
(-) battery terminal with remaining hex bolt
and hex nut
10. Replace terminal boot cover.
Safety System
The machine is equipped with a safety system
that prevents starting or driving under the
following conditions.
The engine can only be started when:
• the mower deck is disengaged.
• the steering / park brake controls are in the
outer, locked neutral position, making sure
of full parking brake engagement for a safe
startup.
NOTE: If the steering / park brake controls are
not holding in the full outboard position, the
tension can be adjusted by tightening the nut on
the backside of the pivot. (See Park Brake in this
section).
Make daily inspections to make sure that the
safety system works by trying to start the engine
when one of the conditions is not met. Change
the conditions and try again.
If the machine starts when one of these
conditions is not met, turn the machine off and
repair the safety system before using the machine
again.
Make sure the engine stops when the park brake
is not engaged and the operator leaves the
seated position.
Check that the engine stops if the mower blades
are engaged and the driver temporarily moves off
the drivers seat.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION To be able to
drive, the driver must sit in the seat and the
steering / park brake controls must be moved
into the engaged (outer) position. Otherwise
the engine will stop.
Hardware
Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose
or missing hardware.
