SECTION 8: SERVICE
Cutting Deck Removal
To remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:
•
Place the PTO knob in the disengaged (OFF)
position and engage the parking brake.
•
Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the
bottom notch on the right fender.
•
Remove the PTO belt from around the electric PTO
clutch. Refer to Figure 15.
Figure 15
•
Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the
tractor, locate the deck support pin on the rear left
side of the deck.
•
Pull the deck support pin outward to release the
deck from the deck lift arm. See Figure 15.
•
Rotate the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor
and release the pin into the hole provided.
•
Repeat the above steps on the tractor’s right side.
•
Move the deck lift lever into the top notch on the
right fender to raise the deck lift arms up and out of
the way.
•
Gently slide the cutting deck toward the front of the
tractor allowing the hooks on the deck to release
themselves from the deck stabilizer rod.
•
Gently slide the cutting deck (from the right side)
out from underneath the tractor.
Battery
The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid
levels cannot be checked.
•
Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean
and free of corrosive build-up.
•
After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a
light coat of grease to both terminals.
•
Always keep the rubber boot positioned over the
positive terminal to prevent shorting.
IMPORTANT:
If removing the battery for any reason,
disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s
terminal first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire.
When re-installing the battery, always connect the
POSITIVE (Red) wire its terminal first, followed by the
NEGATIVE (Black) wire. Be certain that the wires are
connected to the correct terminals; reversing them
could change the polarity and cause damage to your
engine’s alternating system.
Charging
If the unit has not been put into use for an extended
period of time, charge the battery with an automotive-
type 12-volt charger for at least one hour at six amps.
WARNING:
Batteries give off an explosive
gas while charging. Charge battery in a well
ventilated area and keep away from an open
flame or pilot light as on a water heater, space
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.
Fuses
Two fuses are installed in your tractor’s wiring harness
to protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage
caused by excessive amperage.
If the electrical system does not function, or your
tractor’s engine will not crank, first check to be certain
that the fuse has not blown.
One can be found under the hood mounted behind the
top of the dash panel on the support bar. The other can
be found under the seat mounted to the inside of the
tractor frame next to the battery tray. Pull the fuse out
and inspect it to determine if it is good or blown.
IMPORTANT:
Always use a fuse with the same
amperage capacity for replacement.
Tires
WARNING:
Never exceed the maximum
inflation pressure shown on the sidewall of the
tire.
Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer’s
recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate.
Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to
mow unevenly.
