IMPORTANT NOTE: The electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid. Contact the utmost care, so no. And 'that can destroy clothing and burn skin. The battery of tests to determine his condition. This can be by checking the specific gravity of individual cells made with a hydrometer. A fully charged cell measures 1.250 specific gravity. Check if the liquid level is enough battery power.If the oil level is low, fill with distilled water so that it rests directly under the split rings, then charge the battery at 5 amps maximum charge for 30 minutes, until all cells measure specific gravity of 1.250. If all cells are able to achieve specific weight 1.250, replace the battery.
If the battery is fine, find the fuse (s) and see if a fuse is blown. Read the manual to find the fuse (s) position.

Problem 4: abnormal and excessive vibration
Blades, pulleys and shafts are not bent or damaged. Mowing a large object such as rocks, roots, sewer covers, etc. can cause damage toParties. Damaged parts must be replaced.

Problem 5: bagging, discharging, or mulching Poor
There are some actions that are taken to problems can be minimized by the 'Bagging, mulching and discharging. First check the motor speed. The engine must be at full capacity to the bagging operation, discharge or mulching ability to function properly. Correct design of the bridge is crucial for the quality of the cut. The bridge should be from side to side and deeper on the front and back by 3 / 8 of an inch. If this does not solve the problem, the blades sharpened or replaced.
NOTE: Make sure that the right blade for the correct useApplication.
Operating conditions such as wet grass or exceptionally high can cause poor functionality.
