If “jumper cables” are used for emergency starting,
follow this procedure:
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.

start other vehicles.

Lead-acid batteries generate
explosive gases. Keep sparks,
flame and smoking materials away
from batteries. Always wear eye
