OPERATION
To start an engine with a weak battery
If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should
be recharged. (See “Battery” in the Maintenance
Section.)
If “jumper cables” are used for emergency starting,
follow this procedure:
To attach jumper cables
• Connect each end of the RED cable to the
POSITIVE (+) terminal on each battery,
taking care not to short against chassis.
• Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the
NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the fully charged
battery.
• Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to
a good CHASSIS GROUND on the mower
with the discharged battery, away from the
fuel tank and battery.
To remove cables, reverse order
• Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and
then from the fully charged battery.
• Remove RED cable last from both batteries.
