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. CAUTION When attaching battery cables, always connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire. Note: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (-). 3. Make sure the deck is level side-to-side and properly pitched. See the Maintenance and Adjustments section for deck leveling information and instructions. 4. Place deck lift lever in the desired mowing height position. 9
