Seat Air Ride
The air ride (900 series) can be adjusted up or down using the height adjustment
lever (a) on the front of the seat. Press the lever to the left (+) to raise the height of
the seat and to the right (-) to lower the height of the seat (Figure 20).
CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE
Maximum tire pressure under any circumstances is 12 psi on rear tires and 25
psi on front tires. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times.
Inflation Pressure
Rear Tires — 10-12 psi max
Front Tires — 20-25 psi max
The tires on your mower may be over-inflated for shipping purposes. Reduce the tire
pressure before operating the mower. Recommended operating tire pressure is 10-12
psi on rear tires and 20-25 psi on front tires.
LUBRICATION & GREASE POINTS
Before operating the mower, refer to the Product Care section of this manual to check
the lubrication and grease points. Grease and lubricate if necessary.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLES
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.
When attaching battery cables, always connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to
the terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.
NOTE: Wiring harness should lay on top of battery hold down strap, otherwise
damage to the wiring harness may result (Figure 33 on page 25).
For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment may have been left
disconnected from the terminals at the factory. To connect the battery cables,
proceed as follows:
1. Using the lever on the back of the seat frame, lift up on the lever and tilt the seat
forward locking it in place with the seat prop. Remove the bolts and nuts from the
manual bag.

NOTE: If the positive cable grouping (c) is already attached, skip ahead to Step 6
(Figure 21).
2. Locate the cables routed through the conduit along the inward facing side of the
battery and separate the positive and negative groupings (each group will be
zip-tied together).
3. Slide the red boot (d), if present, back along the positive cable grouping
(Figure 21).
4. Attach the positive cable grouping (c) and positive cable for the 12V outlet
(if equipped) to the positive battery terminal (a) with the bolt (e) and nut (f)
(Figure 21).
NOTE: Place the thickest cable closest to the battery terminal.
5. Position the red boot (d) over the positive battery terminal (a) to insulate it and
help protect it from corrosion (Figure 21).
6. Attach the negative cable grouping (g) and negative cable for the 12V outlet
(if equipped) to the negative battery terminal (b) with the bolt (e) and nut (f)
(Figure 21).
