serious injury or death.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all

instructionsin the manual and on the

machine before starting.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are

familiar with the instructions,to operate

the machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as

rocks,toys, wire, etc., which could be

picked up and thrown by the blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other

people before mowing. Stop machine

ifanyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely necessary. Always lookdown

and behind before and while backing.

• Be aware of the mower discharge

directionand do not point it at anyone.

Do not operate the mower without

either the entire grass catcher or the

guard in place.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine

unattended. Always tum off blades, set

parking brake, stop engine, and

remove keys before dismounting.

• Turn off blades when not mowing.

• Stop engine before removing grass

catcher or unclogging chute.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificial

light.

• Do not operate the machine while

under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or

unloading the machine into a trailer or

truck.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60

years and above, are involved in a

large percentage of riding mower-

related injuries. These operators

should evaluate their ability to operate

the riding mower safely enough to

protectthemselves and others from

serious injury.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a majorfactor related to loss-of-

control and tipover accidents, which can

result in severe injury or death. All slopes

require extra caution. Ifyou cannot backup

the slope or ifyou feel uneasy on it, do not

mow it.

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.

Uneven terrain coutd overtum the

machine. Tallgrass can hide ob-

stacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear

so that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dations for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability ofthe machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes s/ow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stoppingon a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the

blades and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

DO NOT:

• Do not turn on slopes unless neces-

sary, and then, turn slowly and gradu-

ally downhill, if possible.

• Do notmow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could

suddenly turn over if a wheel is over

the edge of a cliff or ditch,or ifan edge

caves in.

• Donotmowonwetgress. Reduced

traction could cause sliding.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine by

puttingyour foot on the ground.

• Do notuse grass catcher on steep

slopes.

Ill. CHILDREN

Tragicaccidents can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the

machine and the mowing activity. Never

assume that children will remain where

you lastsaw them.

• Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off ifchildren

enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

• Never carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere

with safe machine operation.

• Never allow children to operate the

machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure vision.

IV. SERVICE

• Use extra care in handling gasoline

and other fuels. They are flammable

and vapors are explosive.

-Use only an approved container.

-Never remove gas cap or add fuel

with the engine running. Allow

engine to cool before refueling. Do

strike an object. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

• Never make adjustments or repairs

with the engine running.

• Grass catcher components are subject

to wear, damage, and deterioration,

which could expose moving parts or

allow objects to be thrown. Frequently

check components and replace with

manufacturer's recommended parts,

when necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut.

Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and

use extra caution when servicing them.

• Check brake operation frequently.

Adjust and service as required.

• Be sure the area is clear ofother

people before mowing. Stop machine if

anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers or children

even with the blades off.

• Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely necessary. Always look down

and behind before and while backing.

• Never carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere

with safe machine operation.

• Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children

enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

• Mow up and down slopes (15° Max),

not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs,etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.

Uneven terrain could overturn the

machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

• Avoid starting or stoppingon a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the

blades and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

1-1/2" to 4-1/2". 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 end types of grass being

mowed.

• The average lawn should be cut to

approximately 2-1/2 inches during the

cool season and to over 3 inches

during hot months. For healthier and

better looking lawns, mow often and

after moderate growth.

• For best cutting performance, grass

over 6 inches in height should be

mowed twice. Make the first cut

relatively high; the second to desired

height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted

when they are slightlyoff the ground

when mower is at the desired cutting

height in operating position. Gauge

wheels then keep the deck in proper

positionto help prevent scalping in most

terrain conditions.

NOTE: Be sure tractor is on a fiat level

surface.

1. Lower mower and adjust mower to

desired cutting height.

2. Remove retainer spring and clevis pin

which secure each gauge wheel bar.

3. Lower gauge wheels to ground. Raise

gauge wheels slightly to align holes in

bracket and gauge wheel bar and

insert clevis pin. Gauge wheels

should be slightly off the ground.

4. Replace retainer spring into clevis

pin.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to readjust gauge

wheels if you change the cutting height

of the mower deck.

above procedure,

NOTE: To protecthood from damage

when transportingyour tractor on a truck

or a trailer, be sure hood is closed and

secured to tractor. Use an appropriate

means of tying hood totractor (rope, cord,

etc.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

MENTS

Tow onlythe attachments that are

recommended by and comply with

specifications of the manufacturer of your

tractor.Use common sense when towing.

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

dangerous. Tires can lose traction with

the ground and cause you to lose control

of yourtractor.

BEFORE STARTINGTHE 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 tractor on level

ground.

2. Unthread and remove oil fill cap/

dipstick;wipe oil off. Reinsert the

dipstick intothe 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 reached.

Do not overfill.

• For cold weather operation you should

change oil for easier starting (See "OIL

VISCOSITY CHART" in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Mainte-

nance section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fillfuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline with a minimum of

87 octane, (Use of leaded gasoline

will increase carbon and lead oxide

deposits and reduce valve life). Do not

mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in

quantitiesthat can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: When operating in

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

clean winter grade gasoline to help

insure good cold weather starting.

• LWARNING: Experience indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract

moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic

gas can damage the fuel system of an

engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be

emptied before storage of 30 days or

longer. Drain the gas tank, start the

engine and let it run until the fuel lines

and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel

next season. See Storage Instructions for

additional information. Never use engine

or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

_,CAUTION: Fillto bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

When startingthe engine for _e firsttime ot if

the engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra

cranking Umeto movefuel from the tankto

the engine.

1. Be sure freewheel control is in the

transmission engaged position.

2. Sit on seat in operating position,

depress brake pedal and set parking

brake.

3. Move attachment clutch to "DISEN-

GAGED" position.

4. Move throttle control to fast position

5. Pull choke control out for a cold

the transmission should be warmed up as

follows:

1. Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

2. Place the motion control lever in

neutral. Release the parking brake

and let the brake slowly return to

operating position.

3. Allow one minute for transmission to

warm up. This can be done during the

engine warm up period.

• The attachments can be used during

the engine warm-up period after the

transmission has been warmed up and

may require the choke control be

pulled out slightly.

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000

feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32 F)

the carburetor fuel mixture may need to

be adjusted for best engine performance.

See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.

PURGETRANSMISSION

_CAUTION: Never engage or disen-

gage freewheel lever while the engine is

running.

To ensure proper operation and perfor-

mance, itis recommendedthat the

transmissionbe purged before operating

tractorforthe first time.This procedurewill

removeany trapped air inside the trans-

mission which may have developed during

shippingofyour tractor.

IMPORTANT: Should your transmission

require removal for serviceor replacement,

it should be purged after reinstallation

beforeoperating the tractor.

1. Place tractor safely on level surface

with engine off and parking brake set.

2. Disengage transmission by placing

freewheel control in freewheeling

motion control lever to the neutral (N)

position. Repeat this procedure with

the motion control lever three (3)

times.

Your tractor is now purged and now ready

for normal operation.

MOWlNGTIPS

• Tire chains cannot be used when the

mower housing is attached to tractor.

• Mower should be propedy leveled for

best mowing performance. See "TO

LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.

• The left hand side of mower should be

used for trimming.

• Drive so that clippings are discharged

onto the area that has been cut. Have

the cut area tothe rightof the tractor.

This will result in e more even distribu-

tion of clippings and more uniform

cutting.

• When mowing large areas, start by

turning to the right so that clippingswill

discharge away from shrubs, fences,

driveways, etc. After one or two

rounds, mow in the opposite direction

making left hand turns until finished.

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be

mowed twice to reduce load and

possible fire hazard from dried clip-

pings. Make first cut relatively high; the

second to the desired height.

• Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet

grass will plug mower and leave

undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry

before mowing.

• Always operate engine at full throttle

when mowing to assure better mowing

performance and proper discharge of

material. Regulate ground speed by

selecting a low enough gear to give the

mower cutting performance as well as

the quality of cut desired.

• When operating attachments, select a

ground speed that will suit the terrain

and give best performance of the

attachment being used.

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when

performing any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

Iftrector requires more than six (6) feet

stopping distance at high speed in

highest gear, then brake must be ad-

justed. (See "TO ADJUST BRAKE" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

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

flat tires due to slow leaks, 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 is in the

disengaged position.

• When the engine is running, any

attempt by the operator to leave the

seat without first setting the parking

brake should shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running and the

attachment clutch is engaged, any

attempt by the operator to reave the

seat should shut off the engine.

• The attachment clutch should never

operate unless the operator is in the

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpen-

ing blade - but if you do, be sure the

blade is balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade

balanced. An unbalanced blade will

cause excessive vibration and eventual

damage to mower and engine.

• The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a grindingwheel. Do not attempt

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 bal-

ancer, follow the instructionssupplied

with balancer,)

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing

blade. The lobes ofthe center hole may

appear to be centered, but are not.

• Slide blade on to an unthreaded

portionof the steel bolt or pin and hold

the bolt or pin parallel with the ground,

If blade is balanced, it should remain in

a horizontal position. If either end of

the blade moves downward, sharpen

the heavy end until the blade is

balanced.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be

keptsharp. Replace bent or damaged

blades.

BLADE REMOVAL

1. Raise mower to highest positionto

allow access to blades,

2. Remove hex bolt, lock washer and fiat

washer securing blade.

3. Install new or resharpened blade with

trailing edge up towards deck as

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. Ifthe carburetor does need

adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles

in (clockwise) decreases the supplyof

fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air

mixture.Turning the adjusting needles out

(counterclockwise) increases the supply

offuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/

air mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles

and the seats in carburetor may result if

screw isturned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

1. Be sure you have a clean air filter, and

the throttle control cable is adjusted

properly (see "TO ADJUST

THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE" in the

Service and Adjustments section of

this manual).

2. With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting

needle in (clockwise) closing it 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 idle is set at the factory

and cannot be adjusted.

2. Idle seeed settina - With throttle

controllever in slow position, engine

should idle at 1200 RPM. If engine

idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed

adjustingscrew in or out untilcorrect

idle is attained.

3. Idle fuel needle settina - With throttle

control lever in slow position, turn idle

fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise)

until engine speed decreases and

then turn out (counterclockwise)

approximately 3/4 turn to obtain the

best low speed performance.

4. Recheck idle speed. Readjust if

necessary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

5. Move throttlecontrol lever from slow to

fast position. If engine hesitates or

dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle

out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn.

Repeat test and continue to adjust, if

necessary, until engine accelerates

smoothly.

High speed stop is factory 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 think the

engine-governed high speed needs

adjusting, contacta Sears orotherqualified

servicecanter, which has proper equip-

ment and experience to make any

necessary adjustments.

Immediately prepare your tractor for

storage at the end of the season or if the

tractor willnot be used for 30 days or

more,

_b 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

storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor forwinter

storage. When mower is to be stored for

a period of time, clean it thoroughly,

remove all 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 instructionsin

the Service and Adjustments section

of this manual).

3. Lubricate 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.

BA'I'rERY

• Fully charge the battery for storage.

• After a period of time in storage, battery

may require recharging.

• To help prevent corrosion and power

leakage during long periods of storage,

battery cables should be disconnected

and battery cleaned thoroughly (see

=TOCLEAN 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 is removed from tractor for

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 during storage. Also,

experiance indicates that alcohol

blended fuels (called gasohol or using

ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture

which leads to separation and formation

of acids during 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 during 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 stabilizer to reach

the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank

and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINEOIL

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 ignition key to "START" position

for a few seconds to distribute oil.

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. Rust and/or dirtin your

gasoline will cause problems.

• If possible, storeyour tractor indoors

and cover it to give protectionfrom dust

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

tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while

engine and exhaust areas are stillwarm.
