NOTICE:
Use only identical lead acid batteries when replacing.
Never mix different makes and sizes of batteries in the
series. Doing so will eventually cause damage to the
batteries and may also damage the mower.
 Park the mower on a level surface and set the parking
brake.
 Stop the motor, remove the start key, and set the parking
brake.
 Raise the mower seat.
 Press the tabs on the wiring cover. Lift the cover and rotate
to one side to gain access to the compartment below.
 Remove and set aside the hex head bolt that secures the
battery tray in place.
 Disconnect the battery quick-connect plug. This plug
connects the batteries to the mower.
 Remove the four screws that secure the battery compart-
ment cover in place.
 Remove the two flange nuts and flange bolts that secure
the front of the battery tray in place.
 Fully extend the battery tray, resting the end outside the
mower on a stable surface that will support a minimum
300 lb. weight.
WARNING:
The battery tray is very heavy and may require two people
to extend. We recommend the use of a hydraulic table-
type cart (or similar device) to extend the tray. Failure
to properly extend and support the battery tray could
result in serious personal injury, as well as damage to
the mower.
WARNING:
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your
skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets
into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10
minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Lift the battery securing bracket off the batteries and set
aside.
 Remove and set aside the battery covers for the battery
or batteries being replaced.
 Disconnect the battery or batteries you wish to replace.
Disconnect the negative (black) cable first, then the
positive (red) cable, being careful not to short across the
terminals.
