SECTION 3: TRACTOR SET-UP
Attaching the Battery Cables
NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos.
(+). The negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).
• The positive cable (heavy red wire) is secured to
the positive battery terminal (+) with a hex bolt and
hex nut at the factory. Make certain that the rubber
boot covers the terminal to help protect it from
corrosion.
• Remove the hex bolt and wing nut from the
negative cable.
• Remove the black plastic cover, if present, from the
negative battery terminal and attach the negative
cable (heavy black wire) to the negative battery
terminal (–) with the bolt and wing nut.
• Make certain the hold-down strap is in position over
the battery, securing it in place. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date
shown on top of battery, charge the battery as
instructed on page 23 of this manual prior to operating
the tractor.
Attaching The Steering Wheel
• The hardware for attaching the steering wheel has
been packed within the steering wheel, beneath
steering wheel cap. Carefully pry off the steering
wheel cap and remove the hardware.
NOTE: There are two different styles of steering
wheel cap. See Figure 2. Styles vary by model.
• With the wheels of the tractor pointing straight
forward, place the steering wheel over the steering
shaft.
• Place the washer (with the cupped side down) over
the steering shaft and secure with the hex bolt. See
Figure 2.
• Place the steering wheel cap over the center of the
steering wheel and push downward until it “clicks”
into place.
