Fuse
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.
WARNING! Before servicing,  repairing, or
inspecting, always disengage  PTO, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
A 20 Amp fuse is installed in your tractor’s  wiring harness to
protect the tractor’s electrical  system from damage caused by
excessive amperage.
CAUTION: If removing the battery,  disconnect the
NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s terminal first,
followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. When  re-
installing the battery, always connect  the POSITIVE
(Red) wire its terminal first,  followed by the
NEGATIVE (Black) wire.
If the electrical system  does not function, or your tractor’s engine
will not crank, first  check to be certain that the fuse has not
blown. It is located under the hood,  mounted behind the top of
the dash panel on the support  bar.
Jump Starting
CAUTION: Always use a replacement fuse  with the
same amperage capacity  as the blown fuse.
WARNING! Never jump start  a damaged or frozen
battery. Be certain the vehicles  do not touch, and
ignitions are off. Do not allow cable  clamps to touch.

Connect positive (+) cable to positive  post (+) of your
tractor’s discharged battery.
WARNING! Maximum tire pressure under  any
circumstances is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure should be
maintained at all times. Never exceed  the maximum
inflation pressure shown on the sidewall  of the tire.
Connect the other end of the cable  to the (positive +) post
of the jumper battery.
Connect the second cable (negative  ) to the other post of
the jumper battery.
The recommended operating  tire pressure is:
Approximately 10 psi for the rear tires
Approximately 14 psi for the front tires
Make the final connection  on the engine block of the
tractor, away from the battery. Attach to a unpainted  part
to assure a good connection.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the tire sidewall for exact  tire
manufacturer’s recommended  or maximum psi. Do not
overinflate. Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting  deck to
mow unevenly.

vehicle (i.e. car, truck), do NOT start the vehicle’s
engine when jump starting  your tractor.
