Tragic accidents 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 last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful care
of another responsible adult.
2,
Be alert and turn the engine off if children enter the area.

4.
Sharpen the blade with a file (Figure 14). Make sure you
keep the original bevel angle.
Make sure the blade is balanced. Use a screwdriver and
hold the blade parallel to the ground (Figure 14). A blade
that is balanced will stay parallel to the ground. If the blade
is not balanced, the heavy end will rotate toward the ground,
Sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.
A new blade will cut better than a badly worn blade. Every

BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity
oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, they will result in increased
oil consumption when used above 320 F. Check the engine oil
level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from
running low on oil.

MAINTENANCE
HOW TO CLEAN
THE AIR FILTERS
Some engines have two filters, an outer foam filter around an inner
paper filter. Clean the air filters every 50 hours. If you operate in
dirty conditions, service more often.
11. Assemble the air filters with the nut.
12. install the cover. Fasten the cover with the knob.
NOTE: Never run the engine with the air filters removed. The air
filters will help protect the engine against wear. For the correct
replacement filter, see the parts list for the engine.
1.
Remove the knob from the cover (Figure 18).
2.
Remove the cover from the air cleaner.
3.
Remove the nut from the filters.
4.
Remove the air filters.
5.
Clean the inside of the base and the cover with a cloth.

If equipped, wash the foam filter in a detergent and water solution. To remove the water solution, tightly roll the foam filter in
a dry cloth. Remove the foam filter from the cloth. Completely

Where a warrantable condition exists, Sears, Roebuck and Co. will repair
your small off-road engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, parts and labor.

model year California small off-road engines (for other states, 1997 and later
model year engines):
A. APPLICABILITY:
This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year
California small off-road engines (for other states, 1997 and later model year
engines). The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine
or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser, and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
B. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE: Sears, Roebuck
and Co. warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or
equipment and to each subsequent purchaser that each of its small off-road
engines is:
1. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, and
2. Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during
the ECS Warranty Period, will cause a warranted emissions-related
part to
fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer's application for certification.
C. The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related
gine, as follows:

Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Sears, Roebuck and Co.
according to Subsection 4 below. Any such part repaired or replaced under
the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty
Period.
2. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular
inspection as specified in the Owner's Manual shall be warranted for the ECS
Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary", shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period.
Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3. Any warranted, emissions-related
part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner's Manual, shall be warranted for
the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part.
If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Sears, Roebuck and Co. according to Subsection 4 below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS
