ASSEMBLY For 42"/50"/54" deck models: 1. Check the tractor deck for a shipping brace that may be holding the chute deflector upward for shipment. If the brace is present, it must be removed before operating the tractor. Holding the chute deflector fully upward, remove the shipping brace. Lower the chute deflector and discard the shipping brace. See Figure 19. Figure 19 SETTING THE DECK WHEELS NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and are not designed to support the weight of the cutting deck. 1. Move the tractor to a level surface, preferably pavement. 2. Check the tire pressure, adjust, if necessary. See tire sidewall for proper tire pressure. 3. Make sure the deck is level side-to-side and properly pitched. See the Service and Maintenance section for deck leveling information and instructions. 4. Place deck lift lever in the desired mowing height position. 5. Check the wheels for contact or excessive clearance with the surface below. NOTE: The deck wheels should have between 1/4"-1/2" (6.3512.7 mm) clearance above the ground. Proceed as follows to adjust the wheels: a. Raise the deck lift handle to its highest setting. b. Remove the front (a) and rear (b) deck wheels by removing the flange lock nuts (c) and shoulder bolts (d) that secure them to the deck. See Figure 20. (c) (a) (d) (d) (b) (c) Figure 20 c. Place the deck lift lever in the desired mowing height setting. d. Reinsert the shoulder bolt (with each deck wheel) into the index hole that leaves approximately 1/2" (13 mm) between the bottom of the wheel and the pavement. Tighten the flange lock nut and shoulder bolt to between 25-30 ft-lbs (33.9-40.7 N-m) using a torque wrench. Battery Information WARNING California Proposition 65 Warning: 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. WARNING Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the eyes or onto the skin, rinse the affected area immediately with clean cold water. Seek prompt medical attention. If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/water or baking soda/water. NEVER connect (or disconnect) battery charger clips to the battery while the charger is turned on, as it can cause sparks. Keep all sources of ignition (cigarettes, matches, lighters) away from the battery. The gas generated during charging can be combustible. As a further precaution, only charge the battery in a well ventilated area. Always shield eyes and protect skin and clothing when working near batteries. Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit explosive gases. Use extreme caution when handling batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. 12
