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.

battery. If the level in any of the six cells has dropped below

the bottom of the split ring inside the fill hole, refill the cell

with distilled water.

grease or petroleum jelly, to protect against corrosion.

Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean and 

free of corrosion.

Avoid tipping. Even a sealed battery will leak electrolyte 

when tipped.

Tire Maintenance

Check the tire air pressure before each use. Inflation pressure

of the rear tires is important for stability while the mower is in

operation. If the tire diameter is not equal between the two tires,

the mower will pull to one side. Keep the tires inflated to the

recommended pressures. Improper inflation will shorten the tire

Leaking Tires

When a flat tire occurs, repair or replace immediately. The normal

procedure is to remove the wheel and replace it. If a tire is

getting soft, park the mower on the nearest level, paved area.

Loosen and remove the locknut from the axle b.

the wheel placed in a large bucket of water. Carefully inspect the

tire, rim and valve for escaping air bubbles which indicate a leak.

Mark each leak with a yellow marking crayon and then deflate

the tire to 8 psi and repeat the inspection. If the leaks you find

are pin hole size to ⁄” diameter, the tire can be repaired. If the

leaks are larger than ⁄” diameter, the tire can be repaired. If the

tire bead is damaged, the tire can be repaired or the tire will have

to be replaced.

Lubrication

Using a pressure lubricating gun, lubricate all grease 

fittings and points as noted in the Lubrication Chart.

Lubricate all other pivot points with a quality lubricating oil 
