Position Drive Control levers
The drive control levers of the riding mower are lowered for shipping
purposes. The flange lock nuts, hex screws, and flat washers that
normally secure the control levers in their operating position are
unfastened and installed in the slotted holes of the control levers for
shipment. The control levers must be repositioned to operate the
riding mower. To reposition the control levers for operation, proceed as
follows:
1.
Remove the hex screw, flat washer, and flange lock nut from the
slot of one of the drive control levers.
2.
Lift and swing that control lever upward until the slotted hole in the
lever bracket aligns with one of the holes in the pivot bracket. See
Figure 4.

the hex screw with washer through the control lever slot and the
hole of the pivot bracket. Secure with the flange lock nut. See

4.
Note the relative position of the control lever to the pivot bracket,
then repeat the previous steps to reposition the other control lever
in approximately the same position.
5.
Refer to "Adjusting the Drive Control Levers" in the Maintenance &
Adjustments for instructions on the final adjustment of the levers.

Connecting the Battery Cables
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
When attaching battery cables, always connect the POSITIVE (Red)
wire to its terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.
For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment may
have been left disconnected from the terminals at the factory. To
connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:
NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The negative
battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).
NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip ahead to
step 2.
1.
Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the positive battery
terminal and attach the red cable to the positive battery terminal
(+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 5.
2.
Remove the plastic cover, if present, from the negative battery
terminal and attach the black cable to the negative battery
terminal (–) with the bolt and hex nut. See Fig. 3-5.
3.
Position the red rubber boot over the positive battery terminal to
help protect it from corrosion.
NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown on top
or side of battery, charge the battery as instructed in the Service and
Maintenance section your Operator's Manual prior to operating the
riding mower.
