Checklist at time of purchase.

FIGURE 1

ACTIVATE BATTERY

The battery is not installed and is shipped dry. Allow

sufficient time for charging and installing the battery

before operating the tractor. Pay close attention to the

precautionary statements on the battery and in these

instructions. Electrolyte must be purchased separately

automotive type battery charger to activate the battery for

use.

the two seat knobs that secure it to rear fender. See

Figure 1.

careful.

2. Move the seat/pedestal assembly forward and out of

the way.

STEP 2: ACTIVATING AND CHARGING BATTERY

1. Remove battery from carton.

2. Place battery in a well ventilated area on a level

surface.

INSTRUCTION No. 7-2348 (I.R. 6/13/02)

WARNING

The electrolyte (acid) produces a highly explosive

gas. Keep all sparks, flame and fire away from area

when charging battery or when handling electrolyte

or battery. Electrolyte (acid) is a highly corrosive

liquid. Wear eye protection. Wash affected areas

immediately after having eye or skin contact with

electrolyte (acid). Flush with clear water and neutralize

with baking soda. DO NOT OVER FILL!

3. Remove battery cell caps. Fill cells as required with

electrolyte (purchased separately) to proper level.

Fill to 3/16” above cell plates. Filling battery with

electrolyte will bring the battery to 80% charged

state.

Note:3/16” above cell plates is the recommended level.

DO NOT place anything in battery other than

specified electrolyte.

4. With cell caps removed, connect battery charger to

battery terminals; RED to positive (+) and BLACK to

negative (-) terminal.

5. If time allows, slow charge at 1 amp for 10 hours, or

as an alternative, fast charge at not more than 2.5

amps for 4 hours to bring the battery to full charge.

NOTE: Slow charging is recommended and extends

battery life.

6. After charging, check level of electrolyte and add as

needed to bring level to 3/16” above cell plates.

7. Reinstall cell caps.

WARNING

Keep sparks and flames away from battery at all times!

Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse empty acid containers

with water and mutilate before discarding. If acid is

spilled on battery, bench, or clothing, etc., flush with clear

water and neutralize with baking soda or ammonia

solution.

STEP 3: BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Carefully place the charged battery, with terminals

toward front of tractor as shown on decal, in the

tractor battery compartment. See Figure 1.

2. Retrieve plastic bag from under the hood, on top of

gas tank. Remove nuts and bolts from plastic

hardware bag.

3. Connect positive (+) cable (red) from wiring harness

to the positive terminal (+) on battery using bolt and

nut provided in hardware bag.

4. Connect negative (-) cable (black) to negative

terminal (-) on battery using bolt and nut.

Note:Shield the positive terminal with terminal cover

located on battery harness. This prevents metal

from touching the positive terminal which could

cause sparks.

5. Reinstall seat/pedestal assembly and tighten seat

knobs securely. DO NOT operate tractor without

the seat/pedestal assembly installed properly

because it serves as the battery hold down.

STEP 4: STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION

1. Place steering wheel over steering shaft located on

tractor. Align hole in steering shaft with holes in

steering wheel and insert roll pin. Tap roll pin with

hammer gently through steering wheel and shaft

until roll pin is centered on the shaft. Do not use

excessive force! (See Figure 2)

FIGURE 2

Step 5: REDUCE TIRE PRESSURE

1. The tires are over-inflated for shipping. Reduce tire

pressure in front tires to 12 PSI and in rear tires to

12 PSI.

STEP 6: INSTALL OPERATOR’S SEAT

Some models are shipped with the seat, hinge rod and

hair pin already installed. On those models verify all seat

hardware is tight and that the hair pin is inserted fully into

the hinge rod hole. See Figure 4. All models will require

the installation of the two seat cushions.

1. To install the seat, remove hair pin from hinge rod and

slide hinge rod from seat pedestal. See Figure 3.

2. Check seat bolts to insure hinge plate is tightened

securely to the bottom of the seat. See Figure 3.

3. Align hinge plate with the seat pedestal assembly

and insert hinge rod. See Figure 3.

FIGURE 3

IMPORTANT: Hinge rod must protrude past both

sides of the hinge plate and be positively retained by

the hair pin.

4. Insert hair pin fully into hinge rod. The hair pin

must be in the hinge pin hole completely. See Figure 4.

FIGURE 4

5. Check for 5/16” flat washer under head of each

seat knob. Install washer, if missing, and tighten

securely. See Figure 5.

6. Install seat cushions by pushing into receptacles

located in seat pedestal. Seat must move freely on

hinge and depress cushions. See Figure 5.

FIGURE 5
