OPERATION Weak Battery If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. (See Battery in the Maintenance section.) If jumper cables are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure: Jumper Cable Use 1. Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal on each battery, taking care not to short against chassis. 2. Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the fully charged battery. 3. Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to a good CHASSIS GROUND on the mower with the discharged battery, away from the fuel tank and battery. Moving Machine By Hand When pushing or pulling the mower, engage the IZT (Integrated Zeroturn Transaxle) bypass linkages. The release levers are located on each side of the rear of the unit below the rear engine plate. 1. Raise the deck to the highest (transport) position. 2. Pull the release levers up and out of the keyhole slots. Release the levers with the head outside the bracket and held into the bypass setting. 3. To reengage the IZTs to drive, reverse the above procedure. Load the machine into truck or trailer by driving up ramps in low gear. DO NOT LIFT! The machine is not intended to be lifted by hand. WARNING! Bypass linkages are located close to the muffler. To prevent burns, the engine should be shut off and allowed to cool before the bypass linkage levers are handled. To remove cables, reverse order 1. Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery. 2. Remove RED cable last from both batteries. CAUTION! Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries. WARNING! Make no adjustments without: • the engine stopped, • the ignition key removed, • the park brake activated WARNING! Use extreme caution when loading the machine into a truck or trailer using ramps. There is the possibility of serious injury or death if the machine falls off the ramps. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The mower is equipped with a 12-volt negative grounded system. The other vehicle must also be a 12-volt negative grounded system. Do not use your mower to start other vehicles. 20
