mowing in the first gear and increase ground speed as

conditions wilt permit. Average cutting height is approxi-

mately 2 - 1/2 to 2 -3/4 inches, Height of cut can be adjust.

ed by means of the Depth Adjustment Knob (Fig. 19),

Moving the Knob clockwise { _ ) raises the mower (Fig.

t4 - Inset). Moving the Knob counterclockwise ( !(_ )

lowers the mower.

6, Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has

been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the machine.

This wilt result in a more even distribution of clippings and

more uniform cutting When mowing large areas (Fig,. 201

start by turning to the right so that the clippings wlt be

discharged away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc, After

two or three rounds, mow in the opposite direction making

left hand turns until finished, if grass is extremely tall, it

should be mowed twice,, The first time cut relatively high,

The second time to the desired height The left hand side

of mower should be used for trimming.

When grinding, care should be taken to maintain blade bal-

ance and the blade should be checked for proper balance

before reinstallation on mower,. Unbalanced or bent blade

will cause excessive vibration when running, and eventual

damage to mower or engine. Replace bent, damaged or un-

balanced blades.

To check Blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or wall,

Leave about one inch of the straight nail exposed. Place

Center Hole of clean Blade over the head of the nail (Fig,

22). NOTE: CENTER HOLE OF BLADE ON NAIL. IF

BLADE IS PROPERLY BALANCED, BLADE SHOULD

REMAIN IN POSITION SHOWN IN FIG._22. IF EITHER

END OF THE BLADE MOVES DOWNWARD, BLADE IS

NOT BALANCED AND MUST BE REPLACED_

To ensure satisfactory operation, it is recommended that

before the star_ of each mowing season, the old blades be

discarded and replaced with new blades. Mower blades can

be purchased at any Sears Service Center/Departments and

most Sears Retail Stores°

DASLY MA0 NTENANCE

Raise Mower to highest position to permit access to Blades°

1. Remove Bait, Lockwasher and Washer (Fig. 21) (turn

counterclockwise (_/"_).

2. Place new Blade between Flanges, (the word "TOP" is

stamped on all Blades to assure proper installation), and

secure with Washer, Lockwasher and Bolt previously re-

moved, TIGHTEN SECURELY°

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp,, The blades

can be sharpened with afew strokes of a file or on a grinding

wheel° We suggest they be sharpened after every 15 hours of

mowing. Do not attempt to sharpen while on mower.,

A GRADE 5 HEAT TREATED BOLT

CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THREE

5, Use Lift Lever to lower mower into cutting position, Start

mowing in the first gear and increase ground speed as

conditions wilt permit. Average cutting height is approxi-

mately 2 - 1/2 to 2 -3/4 inches, Height of cut can be adjust.

ed by means of the Depth Adjustment Knob (Fig. 19),

Moving the Knob clockwise { _ ) raises the mower (Fig.

t4 - Inset). Moving the Knob counterclockwise ( !(_ )

lowers the mower.

6, Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has

been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the machine.

This wilt result in a more even distribution of clippings and

more uniform cutting When mowing large areas (Fig,. 201

start by turning to the right so that the clippings wlt be

discharged away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc, After

two or three rounds, mow in the opposite direction making

left hand turns until finished, if grass is extremely tall, it

should be mowed twice,, The first time cut relatively high,

The second time to the desired height The left hand side

of mower should be used for trimming.

When grinding, care should be taken to maintain blade bal-

ance and the blade should be checked for proper balance

before reinstallation on mower,. Unbalanced or bent blade

will cause excessive vibration when running, and eventual

damage to mower or engine. Replace bent, damaged or un-

balanced blades.

To check Blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or wall,

Leave about one inch of the straight nail exposed. Place

Center Hole of clean Blade over the head of the nail (Fig,

22). NOTE: CENTER HOLE OF BLADE ON NAIL. IF

BLADE IS PROPERLY BALANCED, BLADE SHOULD

REMAIN IN POSITION SHOWN IN FIG._22. IF EITHER

END OF THE BLADE MOVES DOWNWARD, BLADE IS

NOT BALANCED AND MUST BE REPLACED_

To ensure satisfactory operation, it is recommended that

before the star_ of each mowing season, the old blades be

discarded and replaced with new blades. Mower blades can

be purchased at any Sears Service Center/Departments and

most Sears Retail Stores°

DASLY MA0 NTENANCE

Make sure all nuts on baits are tight and cotter pins and retain,,

er springs are secure_ Keep blades sharp. Observe all safety pre-

cautions,, Keep mower wel! lubricated (refer to page 22),

1. Remove Bait, Lockwasher and Washer (Fig. 21) (turn

counterclockwise (_/"_).

2. Place new Blade between Flanges, (the word "TOP" is

stamped on all Blades to assure proper installation), and

secure with Washer, Lockwasher and Bolt previously re-

moved, TIGHTEN SECURELY°

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp,, The blades

can be sharpened with afew strokes of a file or on a grinding

wheel° We suggest they be sharpened after every 15 hours of

mowing. Do not attempt to sharpen while on mower.,

A GRADE 5 HEAT TREATED BOLT

CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THREE

or excessive greaser Do not clean product while engine is

running.

31 Except for adjustment; DO NOT operate Engine if air

cleaner or cover directly over carburetor air intake is re-

moved. Removal of such part could create a fire hazard,

32. Do not operate without a muffler or tamper with the

exhaust system,. Damaged mufflers or spark arresters

could create a fire hazard. Inspect periodically and replace

if necessary,

33., The vehicle and attachments should be stopped and inspect-

ed for damage after striking a foreign object, and the dam-

age should be repaired before restarting and operating the

equipment.

34, Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed

the engine; severe damage or injury may result.

35. When using the vehicle with mower, proceed as follows:

a_ Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light

b, Never make a cutting height adjustment while the engine

is running if the operator must dismount to do soo

c, Shut the engine off when removing the grass catcher or

unclogging chute.

d, Check the blade mounting bolts for proper tightness at

frequent intervals,

36_ Do not operate the Mower without the deflector shield in

place.

37. Disengage power to mower before backing up, Do not mow

in reverse unless absolutely necessary and then only after

careful observation of the entire area behind the mower,

lowers the mower.

6, Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has

been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the machine.

This wilt result in a more even distribution of clippings and

more uniform cutting When mowing large areas (Fig,. 201

start by turning to the right so that the clippings wlt be

discharged away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc, After

two or three rounds, mow in the opposite direction making

left hand turns until finished, if grass is extremely tall, it

should be mowed twice,, The first time cut relatively high,

The second time to the desired height The left hand side

of mower should be used for trimming.

When grinding, care should be taken to maintain blade bal-

ance and the blade should be checked for proper balance

before reinstallation on mower,. Unbalanced or bent blade

will cause excessive vibration when running, and eventual

damage to mower or engine. Replace bent, damaged or un-

balanced blades.

To check Blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or wall,

Leave about one inch of the straight nail exposed. Place

Center Hole of clean Blade over the head of the nail (Fig,

22). NOTE: CENTER HOLE OF BLADE ON NAIL. IF

BLADE IS PROPERLY BALANCED, BLADE SHOULD

REMAIN IN POSITION SHOWN IN FIG._22. IF EITHER

END OF THE BLADE MOVES DOWNWARD, BLADE IS

NOT BALANCED AND MUST BE REPLACED_

To ensure satisfactory operation, it is recommended that

before the star_ of each mowing season, the old blades be

discarded and replaced with new blades. Mower blades can

be purchased at any Sears Service Center/Departments and

most Sears Retail Stores°
