   Warning

   Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal machine components, causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

   • When disconnecting or connecting the battery, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the machine.

   • Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal parts of the machine.

   Warning

   Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the machine and cables causing sparks. Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

   • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable.

   • Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before connecting the negative (black) cable.

2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the battery (Figure 1).

3. Remove the 2 screws securing the console shroud and remove the shroud (Figure 2).

4. Check your machine for an existing hole for the light switch in the control panel. If your machine has an existing hole, proceed to the step after the drilling information.

5. Using the dimensions shown in Figure 3, locate, mark, and drill a 13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter hole in the control panel.

   

   Figure 3

   1. 13 mm (1/2 inch) hole
   2. 11.7 cm (4-5/8 inches)
   3. 25 mm (1 inch)

   Note: Install the control panel after you install the harness to the switch. Refer to Installing the Wire Harnesses.

Parts needed for this procedure:

1. For a Reelmaster 3100 machine, mount the light brackets to the front of the footrest with 4 hex-head flange bolts (5/16 x 3/4 inches) and 4 locknuts (5/16 inch); refer to Figure 4.

2. For a Groundsmaster 3500 machine, mount the light brackets to the front of the footrest with 2 hex-head flange bolts (5/16 x 3/4 inches), 2 locknuts (5/16 inch), and the existing hardware and spacer; refer to Figure 4.

   Note: The spacer and existing hardware is used for the mower deck latch on the Groundsmaster 3500 machine.

3. Mount the 2 lights to the brackets with 2 bolts (5/16 x 1/2 inch) and 2 locknuts (5/16 inch); refer to Figure 4.
