Charging
WARNING!
Batteries
give off an explosive
gas
while charging.
Charge the battery
in a well
ventilated
area and keep away from an open flame
or pilot light as on a water heater, space heater,
furnace,
clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
CAUTION:
When charging
your tractor's
battery,
use only a charger designed
for 12V lead-acid
batteries.
Read your battery
charger's
Owner's
Manual prior to charging
your tractor's
battery.
Always follow
its instructions
and heed its warnings.
If your tractor
has not been put into use for an extended
period
of time, charge the battery
as follows:
1.
Set your battery
charger to deliver
a max of 10 amperes.
If your battery
charger is automatic,
charge the battery
until the
charger indicates
that charging
is complete.
If the charger is not
automatic,
charge for no fewer than eight hours.
Fuse
One 20 AMP fuse is installed
in your tractor's wiring
harness to
protect
the tractor's
electrical
system from damage
caused by
excessive amperage.
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 can be found at the rear of the unit, underneath
the
fender located
by the battery.
WARNING.
Always use a fuse with the same
amperage
capacity
for replacement.
Cutting Blades
WARNING!
Shut the engine
off and remove
ignition
key before removing
the cutting
blade(s) for
sharpening
or replacement.
Protect your hands by
using heavy gloves when grasping
the blade.
WARNING!
Periodically
inspect
the blade and/or
spindle for cracks or damage,
especially after
you've
struck a foreign
object.
Do not operate the machine
until
damaged
components
are replaced.
To remove the blades, proceed
as follows.
2.
3.
Remove the deck from beneath
the tractor, (refer to
Cutting
Deck Removal
earlier in this section)
then gently
flip the deck over to expose its underside.
Place a block of wood between
the center deck housing
baffle and the cutting
blade to act as a stabilizer.
See Figure 7-7.
Remove the hex flange nut that secures the blade to the
spindle assembly. See Figure 7-7.

4.
Figure 7-7
To properly
sharpen
the cutting
blades, remove equal
amounts
of metal from both ends of the blades along the
cutting
edges, parallel
to the trailing
edge, at a 25 % to 30 °
angle. Always grind each cutting
blade edge equally
to
maintain
proper blade balance. See Figure 7-8.
CAUTION:
If the cutting edge of the blade has
previously been sharpened, or if any metal
separation is present, replace the blades with new
ones.
WARNING!
A poorly
balanced
blade will cause
excessive vibration,
may cause damage
to the
tractor
and/or result in personal injury.
5.
Test the blade's balance
using a blade balancer. Grind
metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly.
