SAFETY AND OPERATORS MANUAL
10.11 JUMP STARTING
Both booster battery and discharged battery should
be treated carefully when using jumper cables.
Follow these steps exactly, take care not to cause
sparks.
1.
Set the parking brake and turn off any
electrical loads.
2.
Attach one end of one jumper cable to the
positive terminal of the booster battery and
the other end to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery. DO NOT permit units
to touch each other.
3.
Attach one end of remaining cable to the
negative terminal of the booster battery
and the other end to a good ground on the
unit or engine, away from the discharged
battery. DO NOT lean over the battery
when making this connection.““Reverse
this sequence exactly when removing the
jumper cables.
NOTE:
Booster batteries used for starting must
be connected with proper polarity.
WARNING
DO NOT allow flames or sparks near the
battery when connecting for jump starting
or charging.
Hydrogen gas is produced during the
charging process and can be explosive.
Provide adequate ventilation to prevent
possible explosion.
10.12 CUTTING HEAD MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The cutting heads should be washed after each days
use and dried as well as possible to prevent
rust.““All cutting surfaces (reel and bedknife) should
be given a light coating of oil or other anti-rust
compound.
LUBRICATION
The lubrication fittings at each end of both the front
and rear rollers, as well as the reel bearings at each
end should be lubricated periodically (approximately
once each week). Use only enough lubricant to keep
the bearings from drying out. Too much lubricant
may drop from mower onto turf, causing damage to
the grass (See Fig 10.12).
