SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Walker Mowers are shipped partially assembled to
our distribution network, and are typically assem-
bled by the selling dealer. For any additional as-
sembly besides the following, contact your Walker
dealer.
Tire Installation (Tractor)
• Install the drive tires using the eight (8) lug bolts
that are supplied with the owner’s packet of
materials. Bolts are torqued to 75 to 85 lb·ft
(102 to 115 N·m).
• Check and adjust the ination of the tires. The
tire ination recommendations are:
Drive = 15 PSI (103 kPa)
Tailwheel = 20 PSI (137 kPa)
Battery Service
Raise front mower body up for battery access (refer
to Front Body Latch Release in Operating Instruc-
tions). Check the battery for electrolyte level and
charge. The electrolyte level should be at the bot-
tom of the vent wells [1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm)
above plates]. If the specic gravity is less than
1.225, the battery needs charging. If the battery has
been shipped dry, or is wet but needs service, refer
to the following instructions.
IMPORTANT: Make sure battery is securely mount-
ed in the frame. A loose battery may cause damage
to the case resulting in acid leakage and severe dam-
age to the machine. A hazard may be created by
damage to critical working parts and safety systems.
Wet Battery Service
If the battery has been shipped wet, but the electro-
lyte level is low or the battery needs to be charged
then:
1. Fill each battery cell with distilled water to the
bottom of the vent wells.
2. Charge battery. Refer to Battery Charging in
this section.
Dry Battery Service
DANGER
Activating a battery can be dangerous.
The battery should be taken to a reliable
service station, battery store, or power
equipment dealer where a trained techni-
cian can activate the battery safely. DO
NOT attempt to activate the battery unless
you are experienced in battery service
work. The following activation and charg-
ing instructions are provided for use by a
trained battery technician.
DANGER
Battery electrolyte is a poisonous and cor-
rosive sulfuric acid solution.
• Avoid spillage and contact with skin,
eyes, and clothing - causes severe burns.
• To prevent accidents, wear safety gog-
gles and rubber gloves when working with
electrolyte.
• Neutralize acid spills with baking soda
and water solution.
To ll (activate) battery with electrolyte (if battery has
been shipped dry):
1. Remove the battery protector plate, disconnect
the battery cables and lift the battery out of the
tray.
IMPORTANT: Battery must be removed from
the mower before lling with electrolyte.
IMPORTANT: Obtain and use only battery
grade sulfuric acid electrolyte with a 1.265 spe-
cic gravity to activate the battery. DO NOT use
water or any other liquid during initial activation.
2. Remove the ller caps and carefully ll each cell
until the electrolyte is just above the plates.
3. After the battery is lled with electrolyte, replace
the ller caps and charge the battery. Refer to
Battery Charging.
