Activating the Battery

POTENTIAL HAZARD

•Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid

which is a deadly poison and it causes

severe burns.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•If you carelessly drink electrolyte you could

die or if it gets onto your skin you will be

burned.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

•Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact

with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety

glasses to shield your eyes and rubber

gloves to protect your hands.

•Fill the battery where clean water is always

available for flushing the skin.

•Follow all instructions and comply with all

safety messages on the electrolyte container.

1. Remove the battery from the tractor (refer to

Removing the Battery in your tractor Operator’s

Manual).

Note: Never fill the battery electrolyte with

the battery installed in the tractor.

2. Remove the filler caps from the battery. Slowly

pour electrolyte into each cell until the

electrolyte level is up to the lower part of the

tube (Fig. 3). Use an electrolyte with a specific

gravity of 1.265.

Set-Up Instructions

Checking the Wiring and

Fasteners

•Inspect the tractor for any loose electrical

connections and secure them as required. Check

the wire routing to make sure moving parts do

not interfere with wires and cause a short.

•Assure all fasteners are tight.

Burnishing the Clutch

The following break–in procedure must be performed

as part of predelivery service or when a new clutch is

installed.

Note: There must be a PTO driven

attachment installed to provide a load

in order to burnish the clutch facings

properly.

1. Run the engine at full throttle and engage the

clutch bringing the load to full speed. Then

disengage the clutch.

2. Let the load come to a full stop, then engage

again.

3. Repeat these procedures (1 and 2) 5 times.

Set-Up Instructions

Test Driving the Tractor

1. Check the oil level in the crankcase (refer to

Engine Oil in your tractor Operator’s Manual for

oil type, viscosity and crankcase capacity).

Note: When checking the oil level, slide the

dipstick all the way into the filler tube,

but do not screw the dipstick onto the

filler tube.

2. Check the oil level in the transaxle (refer to

Transaxle Fluid in your tractor Operator’s

Manual for oil type, viscosity and capacity).

3. Check to make sure all lubrication points have

been greased as shown in the Maintenance

section of tractor Operator’s Manual.

4. Fill the tank with unleaded regular gasoline with

an octane rating of at least 85. Open the fuel

shutoff valve and check the fuel hose and fittings
