6.8 Battery Service
The battery is 12 volts and is a maintenance free battery. Charge
the battery only if it will not start the mower properly. Remove the
battery from the mower before charging. Follow the instructions
of the battery charger for proper and safe charging of the battery.
To access the battery, first, park the machine safely. Remove the
retainer knob (A) and remove battery cover (B).
6.9 Parking Brake Adjustment
To test if the parking brake needs adjustment, inflate tires to the correct pressures.
Stop machine on a maximum 17 degree slope and apply the brake. Properly adjusted
brakes will prevent the wheels from turning. If the drive wheels turn, a brake
adjustment will be necessary. Adjustment nuts are located between the fuel tank and
upright.
To adjust brake:

Loosen adjustment nuts. (A)

Bring brake shoe down until contact is made with the tire. (B)

With brake shoe making contact with the tire, move the brake handle to approximately
30 degrees (C) and tighten adjustment nuts. (A)

Test parking brake. Adjust again, if required
6.10 Lubrication
The Wright Stander I is made with sealed bearings, oil based bushings and with limited
grease fittings therefore only the front caster pivots need to be greased. Grease yearly
by either, removing the ¼-28 bolt and install a grease fittings or by removing the dust
cap, disassembling and re-packing the wheel bearings. Use Mobil Polyrex-EM grease.
Use care filling with grease gun as too much pressure could blow out the grease seal.
