Setup Procedures

The items in this section provide the information necessary

to fully assemble, test, and prepare the unit, that these

instructions were included with, for delivery to your customer.

The Quick Setup List provided on page 2 of this booklet

to help you identify and check that the items have been

performed.

Uncrating

1. Locate the transmission release levers (A, Figure 1)

underneath the engine deck of the machine and between

the two rear wheels on the transmission cradle (B).

There is one transmission release lever per transmission.

The transmission release lever opens and closes the

transmission bypass valve.

2. To open the transmission bypass valves (bypass position)

(C), move the transmission release lever up and pull it

towards the rear of the machine. When the second nut

(D) has passed through the hole, lower the rod down in

the slot so it will stay in the disengaged position. Repeat

the process for the other side of the zero-turn rider.

3. Push down on the parking brake lever to release the

parking brake.

4. Be sure there are no nails or sharp objects on the bottom

skid to puncture the zero-turn rider’s tires. Roll the zero-

turn rider forward off the bottom skid.

5. After moving the zero-turn rider, close the bypass valves

(run position) (E) by raising the transmission release

lever so that the back nut clears the slot, push the lever

towards the front of the machine. Repeat this process for

the other side of the zero-turn rider.

Connect the Battery Cables

WARNING

gear when handling the battery.

Open flames and sparks can cause battery to explode.

BATTERY SAFETY RULES:

• Battery acid causes severe burns. Avoid contact with

skin.

• Wear eye protection when handling the battery.

• To avoid an explosion, keep flames and sparks away

from the battery, especially while charging.

• When installing the battery cables, connect the

positive (+) cable first and negative (-) cable last.

If not done in this order, the positive terminal can be

shorted to the frame by a tool.

1. Connect the red positive battery cable (B, Figure 2) to the

positive battery post.

2. Connect the black negative battery cable (A) to the

negative battery post.

3. Make sure that no fuel lines, cables, or parts of the wire

harness are in the way of the roll bar pockets.

4. From the bottom of the roll bar upright tube measure up

8” (G, Figure 6) and mark the distance with a marking tool

or a piece of tape. Repeat for other upright tube.

5. Install the roll bar into the roll bar pockets. The roll bar is

installed so that the safety decals are on the left side of

the machine (as determined from the operator’s position)

facing towards the front of the machine. When the mark

you made is even with the top of the roll bar pocket, the

holes are close to being lined up. If necessary, use a

dead blow hammer and drift pin to assist in lining up the

holes in the roll bar with the holes in the roll bar pocket.

6. It may be necessary to remove the rear tires of the zero-

turn rider to install the roll bar mounting bolts. To remove

the rear tires jack up the rear end of the zero-turn rider,
