Attaching the Battery Cables
NOTE: If these cables are already attached, ignore these
steps and proceed to “Gas & Oil Fill-Up.”
NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+).
The negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).
• The positive cable (heavy red wire) is secured to the
positive battery terminal (+) with a hex bolt and hex
nut at the factory. Before attaching the negative cable,
note the date on the side of the battery. If the battery
is put into service after this date, charge the battery
as instructed in the Maintaining Your Lawn Tractor
section of this manual prior to operating the tractor.
• Remove the hex bolt and hex nut from the negative
cable.
• Remove the black plastic cover, if present, from the
negative battery terminal and attach the negative
cable (heavy black wire) to the negative battery
terminal (–) with the bolt and nut.
Attaching The Seat
NOTE: For shipping reasons, seats are either fastened
to the tractor seat’s pivot bracket with a plastic tie, or
mounted backward to the pivot bracket. In either case,
free the seat form its shipping position and remove the
two hex screws (or knobs, on models so equipped) from
the bottom of seat before proceeding with applicable
instructions below.
1. Position the shoulder screws (found on the base of the
seat) inside the slot openings in the seat pivot bracket.
Fig. 3-2.
2. Slide the seat slightly rearward in the seat pivot
bracket, lining up the rear slots in the pivot bracket
with the remaining two holes in the seat’s base.
3. Select desired position for the seat, and secure with
the two knobs removed earlier. See Fig. 3-2.
