Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch

in any position other than "OFF" will cause the battery to be discharged,

(dead).

NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility, always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas.

_kCAUTION: Always stop tractor completely, as described above, before leaving the operator's position; to empty grass catcher, etc.

TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the battery charging rate.

Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower performance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL

Usa choke control whenever you are starting a cold engine. Do not usa to start a warm engine.

To engage choke control, pull knob out.

Slowly push knob in to disengage.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD

The cutting height range is approximately

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 and 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

3. Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch control.

TO STOP MOWER BLADES disengage attachment clutch control.

_kCAUTION: Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher, on mowers so equipped, or the deflector shield in place.

when transportingyour tractoron a truck or a trailer,be sure hood is closedand securedto tractor. Use an appropriate means of tyinghoodto tractor(rope, cord, etc.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHERA'I-rACH-

MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are

recommended by and comply wiih 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 your tractor.

BEFORE STARTINGTHE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

ENGINE

The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the factory, already tilled 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 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 reached.

Do not overfill.

For cold weather operation you should change oil for easier starting (See "OIL

VISCOSITY CHART" in the Maintenance 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 gasolinewith a minimumof

87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increasecarbon and lead oxide

depositsand reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Pumhasefuel in quantitiesthat can be used within30 daysto assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: When operatingin temperaturesbelow32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean wintergrade gasolineto help insuregood cold weather starting.

_kWARNING: Experienceindicatesthat

alcoholblendedfuels (called gasonolor usingethanol or methanol)can attract moisturewhich leads to separationand formationof acids dudngstorage. Acidic

gas can damage the fuel systemof an

engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems,the fuel system shouldbe emptiedbefore storageof 30 days or longer. Drain the gastank, startthe

engine and let it run untilthe fuel lines

and carburetorare empty. Use fresh fuel

next season. See Storage Instructionsfor additionalinformation. Never use engine

or carburetorcleaner productsin the fuel

tank or permanentdamage may occur.

CAUTION: Fillto bottomofaas tank filter neck. Do not overfill. Wip_'offany

if the engine does not start after several attempts, push choke control

in, wait a few minutes and try again. If

engine still does not start, pull the choke control out and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

8. When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until the engine begins to run smoothly. If the engine starts to run roughly, pull the choke

control out slightly for a few seconds and then continue to push the control in slowly.

The attachments and ground drive can

now be used. If the engine does not accept the load, restartthe engine and allow it to warm up for one minute usingthe choke as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50° F and below)

8. When engine starts, slowly push choke control in until the engine begins to run smoothly. Continue to push the choke control in small steps allowing the engine to accept small changes in speed and load, until the

choke control is fully in. If the engine

starts to run roughly, pull the choke

control out slightly for a few seconds and then continue to push the control in slowly. This may require an engine

warm-up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

Before driving the unit in cold weather, 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 clutch/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 en_line warm-up period after the

transmission has been warmed up and may require the choke control be putl=e,dout 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 dlsengage freewheel lever while the engine is running.

To ensure proper operation and performanGe, it is recommended that the trans-

mission be purged before operating tractor for the first time. This procedure will remove any trapped air inside the transmission which may have developed during shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: Should your transmission

require removal for service or replacement, it should be purged after reinstaitation

before operating the tractor. f.

Place tractor safely on level surface with engine off and parking brake set.

2. Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling

position (See =TO TRANSPORT" in this section of manual).

3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.

After the engine is running, move throttle control to slow position. With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly disengage clutch/ brake pedal.

4. Move motion control lever to full forward position and hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse

position and hold for five (5) seconds.

Repeat this procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: During this procedure there will be

no movement of drive wheels. The air is

being removed from hydraulic drive system.

5. Move motion control lever to neutral

(N) position. Shut- off engine and set parking brake.

6. Engage transmission by placing _, freewheel control in driving position

(See =TO TRANSPORT" in this section of manual).

7. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.

After the engine is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed. With motion control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly disengage clutch/ brake pedal.

8. Slowly move motion control lever forward, after the tractor moves

approximately five (5) feet, slowly move motion control lever to reverse position. After the tractor moves

approximately five (5) feet return the 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.

MOWINGTIPS

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 to the right of the tractor.

This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting.

When mowing large areas, start by turning to the dght so that clippings will

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 undesirableclumps. Allowgrass to dry before mowing.

• Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to assure better mowingperformanceand proper dischargeof material. Regulate groundspeed by selectinga low

enough gear to give the mowercutting performanceas well as the qualityof cut desired.

When operatingattachments,selecta groundspeed that willsuit the terrain and give best performanceof the attachment being used. l f

ro ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been present at the

_actory and adjustment should not be necessary. However, minor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out

(counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a dcher fuel/ air mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles and the seats in carburetor may result if screw is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETI'ING -

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 tum _ut (counterclockwise) 1 turn.

FINAL SETTING -

1. Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make final adjustments with engine running and shiff/motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

NOTE: The high idle is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.

2. Idle speed settina - With throttle control lever in slow position, engine should idle at 1200 RPM. If engine idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in or out until correct idle is attained.

3. Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle

control lever in slow position, turn idle fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise) until engine speed decreases and then rum out (counterclockwise) approximately 3/4 turn to 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, tum 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 not adjust-damage may result.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory 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, contact a Sears or other qualified service center, which has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.

'" 30

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.

l, 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 for winter 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.

t.

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 Maintenance 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 pedod of time in storage, battery may require recharging.

To help prevent corrosion and power leakage dudng long perinds 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 disconnected 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 is important to prevent gum deposites from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel hose, or tank dudng storage.

31

Also, expedance 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.

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 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

starts to rust. Rust and/or did in your gasoline will cause problems.

If possible, store your tractor indoors

and cover it to give protection from 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 still warm.
