ator on the seat.
NOTE: Illustrations and pictorials begin on

page 2.
NOTE: To assemble the following loose

parts, use the fasteners shown at full size in

Figure 31.

How To Install The Seat (Figure 1)

1. Carefully remove the plastic bag from the

seat (1).

2. Raise the seat support (2) and secure in the

UP position with the seat support rod (6).

3. Align the holes in the seat (1) to the holes in

the seat support (2). Fasten the seat (1) to

Maintenance Free Battery (Figure 5)

IMPORTANT: Before you attach the battery

cables to the battery, check the battery date.

The battery date tells if the battery must be

charged.
1. Raise the seat support and secure in the UP

position with the seat support rod.

2. Check the top and the side of the battery (1)

for the location of the battery date.

3. If the battery (1) is put into service before

the battery date, the battery cables can be

attached without charging the battery (1).

See “How To Install The Battery Cables”.

4. If the battery (1) is put into service after the

battery date, the battery (1) must be

charged. See “How To Charge The Mainten-

ance Free Battery”.

How To Charge The Battery (Figure 5)

WARNING: When you charge the

battery, do not smoke. Keep the bat-

tery away from any sparks. The

fumes from the battery acid can cause an

explosion.

1. To disconnect the battery retainer (2) from

the battery tray (3), push in on the lower end

of the battery retainer (2).

2. Remove the battery (1) from the right side of

the unit.

3. Remove the protective cap from the battery

terminal.

4. Use a 12 volt battery charger to charge the

battery (1). Charge at a rate of 6 amperes

for one hour. If you do not have a battery

charger, have an authorised Hayter dealer

charge the battery.

5. Install the battery (1) and secure with the

battery retainer (2). Make sure the positive

(+) terminal (4) is on the right side.

How To Install The Battery Cables

(Figure 5)

WARNING: To prevent sparks, fasten

the red cable to the positive (+) ter-

minal before you connect the black

cable.

1. Remove the protective cap from the battery

terminal.

2. Fasten the red cable (5) and terminal

cover (9) to the positive (+) terminal (4)

with the fasteners (6) and (7).

3. Fasten the black cable 8 to the negative (−)

terminal with the fasteners (6) and (7).

Check The Tyres

Check the air pressure in the tyres. Tyres with

too much air pressure will cause the unit to ride

rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the

mower housing from cutting level. The correct

air pressure is: Front Tyres 0,97 BAR (14 PSI),

Rear Tyres 0,69 BAR (10 PSI). The tyres were

over inflated for shipment.

Check The Level Of The Mower

Housing

Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After

you mow a short distance, look at the area that

was cut. If the mower housing does not cut level,

see the instructions on “How To Level The

Mower Housing” in the Maintenance section of

this instruction book.

How To Prepare The Engine

NOTE: The engine was shipped from the fac-

tory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil.

Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for

the type of petrol and oil to use. Before you use

the unit, read the information on safety, oper-

ation, maintenance, and storage.

WARNING: Follow the engine manu-

facturer’s instructions for the type of

petrol and oil to use. Always use a

safety petrol container. Do not smoke when

adding petrol to the engine. When inside an

enclosure, do not fill with petrol. Before you

add petrol, stop the engine. Let the engine

cool for several minutes.

Important! Before You Start Mowing

r Check the engine oil.
r Fill the fuel tank with petrol.
r Check the level of the mower hous-

ing.

r Check the air pressure of the tyres.
r Attach the battery cables.
