SERVICE
Charging the Battery
Batteries give off an explosive gas while charging. Charge the battery in a
well-ventilated area and keep away from an open flame or pilot light as on a
water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
Only use the approved charger for your battery type. Reference your battery
charger's Owner's Manual prior to charging your mower's battery. Always
follow its instructions and heed its warnings.
Test and, if necessary, recharge the battery after the mower has been stored for a
period of time. Charge the battery as follows:
AGM BATTERIES
• An AGM battery charger should be used. Recommended charge rate is 1.1A
to 14.8V.
• If your battery charger is automatic, charge the battery until the charger indicates
that charging is complete.
• If the charger is not automatic, charge for no fewer than eight (8) hours.
LEAD ACID (WET) BATTERIES
• A voltmeter or load tester should read 12.6 volts (DC) or higher across the battery
terminals (Figure 33).

Servicing Electrical System
FUSE
The 25 amp fuse holder is located on the right side of the mower frame under
the control panel. The fuse is a standard plug-in type automotive fuse. Always
use the same capacity fuse for replacement. Check the 25 amp fuse for any
electrical problems.
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, have the mower's electrical system
checked by your authorized service dealer.

Safety Interlock System & Switch Operation Checks
The following operational checks should be made daily with the mower on a flat
surface and the wheels blocked to prevent unintentional movement of the mower:
PTO SWITCH
1. Stand on the operator's platform. With the drive control levers in the neutral
position and the parking brake engaged, engage the PTO switch by pulling up on
the knob and try to start the engine. The engine should not start. If it does, the
PTO switch must be replaced. See your authorized service dealer.
2. If the engine does not start, disengage the PTO by pressing the knob down and
start the engine. Now engage the PTO and the blades should rotate.
3. If the blades do not turn, the PTO switch must be replaced, the platform switch
must be replaced or the electric PTO clutch must be repaired. See your authorized
service dealer.
PARKING BRAKE SWITCH
1. Stand on the operator's platform. With the drive control levers in the neutral
position and the PTO disengaged, release the parking brake and try to start the
engine. The engine should not start.
2. If it does, the parking brake switch must be repositioned or replaced. See your
authorized service dealer. If the engine does not start, engage the parking brake
and start the engine.
OPERATOR'S PRESENCE CONTROL SWITCH
1. With the drive control levers in the neutral position, the parking brake engaged
and the PTO disengaged, start the engine. Disengage the parking brake and step
off of the operator's platform. The engine should stop.
2. If the engine does not stop, the operator's platform switch must be replaced. See
your authorized service dealer.
3. With the drive control levers in the neutral position, the parking brake engaged
and the PTO disengaged, stand on the operator's platform and start the engine.
Engage the PTO and the blades should start to rotate. Step off of the operator's
platform and the blades should stop.
4. If the blades do not stop when you step off of the operator's platform, the
operator's platform switch must be replaced. See your authorized service dealer.
ELECTRIC PTO CLUTCH
This clutch operates when the engine is running, the operator is on the operator's
platform and the PTO is engaged. This electric clutch is normally a trouble free
device. If a problem develops and the blades do not turn first check the 25 amp fuse,
then investigate the wiring harness and the connections to the platform switch, the
PTO switch and the electric blade clutch. Then check the operator's platform switch,
the PTO switch and finally the electric blade clutch. If the PTO clutch is still not
working properly, see an authorized service dealer.
Rear Tire Removal
1. With the tires on the ground, loosen, but do not remove the four lug nuts (a)
(Figure 34 on page 27).
2. Elevate the mower so tire is off the ground.
3. Remove the four lug nuts to remove tire from mower.
4. With the mower elevated, use the four lug nuts to reinstall the tire onto the
mower. Hand tighten lug nuts.
5. Lower the mower so tire is on the ground.
