Tires
Check the tire air pressure after every 50 hours of operation or weekly. Keep the
tires inflated to the recommended pressures. Improper inflation will shorten the
tire service life and produce an uneven cut. See the tire side wall for proper inflation
pressures. Observe the following guidelines:
• Do not inflate a tire above the maximum pressure shown on the sidewall of
the tire.
• Do not reinflate a tire that has been run flat or seriously under-inflated. Have it
inspected and serviced by a qualified tire mechanic.
Battery Information
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.
The battery may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if misused. Do not
open, disassemble, overheat, or incinerate the battery.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
• Some batteries are filled with battery acid and then sealed at the factory.
However, even a "maintenance free" battery requires some maintenance to
ensure its proper life cycle.
• Spray the terminals and exposed wire with a battery terminal sealer, or
coat the terminals with a thin coat of grease or petroleum jelly, to protect
against corrosion.
• Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean and free of corrosion.
• Some models are equipped with a battery containing a liquid electrolyte. Handle
the battery with care and avoid tipping to prevent leakage.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and may emit explosive gases. Use extreme
caution when handling batteries. Keep batteries out of the reach
of children.
BATTERY STORAGE
1. When storing the mower for extended periods, disconnect the negative battery
cable. It is not necessary to remove the battery.
2. All batteries discharge during storage. Keep the exterior of the battery clean,
especially the top. A dirty battery will discharge more rapidly.
3. The battery must be stored with a full charge. A discharged battery can freeze
sooner than a charged battery. A fully charged battery will store longer in cold
temperatures than hot.
