II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a majorfactor related toloss-of-

control and tipover accidents, which can

result in severe injury or death. All slopes

require extra caution. Ifyou cannot backup

the slope or if youfeel uneasy on it, do not

mow it,

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles suchas rocks, tree

limbs,etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.

Uneven terrain could overturn the

machine. Taftgrass can hide ob-

stacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear

so that you will nothave to stop or shift

while on the slope.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

datlens for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These san change

the stabilityof the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid startingor stoppingon a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the

blades and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

TO ADJUST MOWER CuI"rlNG HEIGHT

The cuttingheight is controlled by turning

the height adjustment knob in desired

direction.

• Turn knob clockwise (F'd ) to raise

cuttingheight.

• Turn knob counterclockwise (F '_) to

lower cutting height.

The cuttingheight range is approximately

1-1/2" to4-1/2". The heights are mea-

sured from the ground to the blade tip

with the engine not running.

These heights are approximate and may

vary depending upon soil conditions,

height of grass and types of grass being

mowed.

• The average lawn should be cut to

approximately 2-1/2 inches dudng the

coolseason and to over 3 inches

duringhot months. For healthier and

better lookinglawns, mow often and

after moderate growth.

• For best cutting performance, grass

over 6 inches in height should be

mowed twice. Make the firstcut

relatively high;the second to desired

height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted

when they are slightly off the ground

when mower is at the desired cutting

height in operating position. Gauge

wheels then keep the deck in proper

position to help prevent scalping in most

terrain conditions.

NOTE: Be sure tractoris on a flat level

surface.

1. Lower mower and adjust mower to

desired cutting height.

2. Remove retainer spdng and clevis pin

which secure each gauge wheel bar,

3. Lowergauge wheels to ground. Raise

gauge wheels slightly to align holes in

bracket and gauge wheel bar and

insert clevis pin. Gauge wheels

should be slightlyoff the ground,

4. Replace retainer spdng into clevis pin.

5. Be sure all gauge wheels are in the

same setting.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to readjust gauge

wheels if you change the cutting height

of the mower deck,

when transportingyour tractor on a truck

or a trailer,be sure hood is closed and

securedto tractor. Use an appropriate

means of tying hoodto tractor (rope, cord,

etc.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are

recommended by and complywith

specificationsof the manufacturer of your

tractor.Use common sense when towing.

Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is

dangerous. ]]ros can lose tractionwith

the ground and cause you to lose control

of yourtractor.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has been

shipped, from the factory, already filled

with summer weight oil.

1. Check engine oil with tractoron level

ground.

2. Unthread and remove oil fill cap/

dipstick;wipe oiloff. Reinsert the

dipstick into the tube and rest oil fill

cap on the tube. Do not thread the

cap onto the tube. Remove and read

oil level. If necessary, add oil until

=FULL" mark on dipstick is roached.

Do not overfill.

• For cold weather operation you should

change oilfor easier starting (See =OIL

VISCOSITY CHART" in the Mainte-

nance sectionof this manual).

• To change engine oil,see the Mainte-

nance section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline with a minimum of

87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline

will increase carbon and lead oxide

depositsand reduse valve life). Do not

mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in

quantitiesthat can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: When operatingin

temperatures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh,

clean winter grade gasoline to help

insure good cold weather starting.

a_WhARNING: Experience indicatesthat

ol blended fuels (called gasohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract

moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids dudng storage. Acidic

gas can damage the fuel systemof an

engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should he

emptied befere storage of 30 days or

longer. Drain the gas tank, start the

engine and let it run untilthe fuel lines

and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel

nextseason. See Storage Instructionsfor

additional information. Never use engine

or carburetor cleaner productsin the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

_,CAUTION: Fillto bottom of gas tank

fillerneck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any

spilled oilor fuel. Do not store, spillor

use gasoline near an open flame.

MOWlNGTIPS

• Tire chains cannot be used when the

mower housing isattached to tractor,

• Mower should be propadyleveled for

best mowing performance. See "TO

LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustmentssection of this

manual.

• The left hand side of mower should be

used for trimming.

• Ddve so that clippings are discharged

onto the area that has been cut. Have

the cut area to the dght ofthe tractor.

This will result in a more even distribu-

tion of clippings and more uniform

cutting,

• 'Whenmowinglarge areas, start by

turningto the rightso that clippingswill

discharge away from shrubs, fences,

driveways, etc. After one or two

rounds, mow in the opposite direction

making left hand turns untilfinished.

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be

mowed twice to reduce load and

possiblefire hazard from dded clip-

pings. Make firstcut relativelyhigh;the

second to the desired height.

• Do not mow grass when itis wet. Wet

grass will plug mower and leave

undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry

before mowing.

• Always operate engine at full throttle

when mowing toassure better mowing

performance and proper discharge of

matedal. Regulate ground speed by

selecting a low enough gear to give the

mower cuttingperformance as well as

the qualityof cut desired.

• When operatingattachments, select a

ground speed that will suit the terrain

and give best performance ofthe

attachment being used.

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when

performing any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

Iftractor requires more than six (6) feet

stopping distance at high speed in

highestgear, then brake must be ad-

justed. (See =TOADJUST BRAKE" in the

Service and Adjustments section ofthis

manual).

TIRES

• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires

(See "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS"

section of this manual).

• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect

control chemicals which can harm

rubber.

• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp

objects and other hazards that may

cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent

fiat tires due to slow leeks, tire sealant

may be purchased from your local parts

dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry

rot and corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure operator presence and interlock

systems are working properly. If your

tractor does not function as described,

repair the problem immediately.

• The engine should not start unless the

brake pedal is fully depressed and

attachment clutchcontrol isin the

balanced. An unbalanced blade will

cause excessive vibrationand eventual

damage to mower and engine.

• The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a gdndingwheel. Do notattempt

to sharpen while on the mower.

• To check blade balance, you will need

a 5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone

balancer. (When using a cone hal-

ancar, follow the instructionssupplied

with belancer.)

NOTE: De net use a nailfor balancing

blade. The lobes of the center hole may

appear to be centered, but are not,

• Slide blade on to an unthreaded

portionof the steel boltor pin and hold

the boltor pin parallel with the ground.

If blade is balanced, it should remain in

a hodzontal position. If either end of

the blade moves downward, sharpen

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been present at the

factory and adjustment should not be

necessary. However, minor adjustment

may be required to compensate for

differences in fuel, temperature, altitude

or load. If the carburetordoes need

adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjustingneedles

In (clockwise) decreases the supplyof

fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air

mixture. Turningthe adjustingneedles out

(ceunterclockwise) increases the supply

of fuel to the engine givinga dcherfuel/

air mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles

and the seats in carburetor may result if

screw isturned in tootight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

1. Be sure you have a clean airfilter, and

the throttle control cable is adjusted

propedy (see =TOADJUST

THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE" in the

Service and Adjustments section of

this manual).

2. With engine off turn idlefuel adjusting

needle in (clockwise) closingit finger

tight and then turn out (counterclock-

wise) 1 turn.

FINAL SETTING -

1. Start engine and allow to warm for five

minutes. Make final adjustments with

engine running and shift/motion

control lever in neutral (N) position..

NOTE: The high idleis setat the factory

and cannot be adjusted.

2. Idle soeed settina - With throttle

control lever in slow position, engine

should idle at 1200 RPM. If engine

idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed

adjustingscrew in or out until correct

idle is attained.

3. Idle fuel needle settina- With throttle

control lever in slow position, tum idle

fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise)

untilengine speed decreases and

then turn out (counterclockwise)

approximately 3/4 turnto obtain the

best low speed performance.

4. Recheck idle speed. Readjust if

necessary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

5. Move throttle control lever from slow to

fast position. If engine hesitates or

dies, turn idle fuel adjustingneedle

out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn.

Repeat test and continue to adjust, if

necessary, until engine accelerates

smoothly.

High speed stop isfactory adjusted. Do

notadjust-damage may result.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the

engine governor, which isfactory set for

proper engine speed. Overspeeding the

engine above the factory high speed

setting can be dangerous. If you thinkthe

engine<jovemed high speed needs

adjusting, contacta Searsor o_'_erqualified

servicecenter,which has proper equip-

ment and expedence to make any

necessary adjustments.

Immediately prepare your tractor for

storage at the end of the season or if the

tractor will not be used for 30 days or

more.

,_ CAUTION: Never store the tractor

with gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame or

spark. Allow the engine to cool before

stodng in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter

storage. When mower is to be storedfor

a period of time, clean it thoroughly,

removeall dirt,grease, leaves, etc. Store

in a clean, dry area.

1. Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING"

in the Maintenance section of this

manual).

2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary

(See belt replacement instructions in

the Service and Adjustments section

of this manual).

3. Lubdcate as shown in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual.

4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws

are securely fastened. Inspect moving

parts for damage, breakage and wear.

Replace if necessary.

5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint

surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

BATTERY

• Fully charge the battery for storage.

• After a peded of time in storage, battery

may require recharging.

• To help prevent corrosion and power

leakage dudng long periods of storage,

battery cables should be disconnected

and battery cleaned thoroughly (see

"TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMI-

NALS" in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

• After cleaning, leave cables discon-

nected and place cables where they

cannot come in contact with battery

terminals.

• If battery isremoved from tractorfor

storage, do not store battery directly on

concrete or damp surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It isimportant to prevent

gum deposites from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor,fuel

hose, or tank dudng storage. Also,

experience indicates that alcohol

blended fuels (called gasohol or using

ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture

which leads to separation and formation

of acids dudng storage. Acidic gas can

damage the fuel system of and engine

while in storage.

1. Drain the fuel tank.

2. Start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable

alternative in minimizing the formation of

fuel gum deposits dudng storage. Add

stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or

storage container. Always follow the mix

ratio found on stabilizer container. Run

engine at least 10 minutes after adding

stabilizer to allow the stabilizerto reach

the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank

and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace

with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in

the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

1. Remove spark plug(s).

2. Pour one ounce of oil through spark

plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).

3. Turn ignitionkey to "START" position

for a few seconds to distributeoil.

4. Replace with new spark plug(s).

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season

to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can

startsto rust. Rustand/or dirtin your

gasoline will cause problems.

• If possible, store your tractorindoors

and cover it to give protectionfromdust

and dirt.

• Cover your tractor with a suitable

protective cover that does not retain

moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows conden-

sation to form and will cause your

tractorto rust.

IMPORTANT: Never covertractor while

engine and exhaust areas are stillwarm.
