OPERATgG

Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipmenL

a. Use only approved drawbar hitch points.

b, Limit loads to those you can safely control,

c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when backing,

do Use counterweight or wheel weights when suggested in

the owner smanual.

Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.

When using any attachments, never direct discharge of

material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the ve-

hicle while in operation.,

Handle gasoline with care _ it is highly flammable

a, Use approved gasoline containers

b, Never remove the fuel cap of the fuel tank or add gas-

oline to a running or hot engine or an engine that has

not been aflowed to coo_ for severa_ minutes after run-

ning. Never fill the tank indoors, always clean up spilled

gasoline

c. Open doors if the engine is run in the garage - exhaust

fumes are dangerous, Do not run the engine indoors.

Keep the vehicle and attachments in good operating con-

dition, and keep safety devices in place and working,.

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equip,.

ment is in safe working condition,,

Never store the equipment 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.

To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass, leaves

or excessive grease. Do not clean product while engine is

running,

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,,

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.

The vehicle and attachments should be stopped and in-

spected for damage after striking a foreign object and the

damage should be repaired before restarting and operating

the equipment.

Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed

the engine; severe damage or injury may result.

When using the vehicle with mower, proceed as follows:

a. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light

b_ Shut the engine off when unclogging chute°

c. Check the blade mounting bolts for proper tightness at

frequent intervals.

Do not operate the mower without the deflector shield in

place,

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.

Under normal usage the grass catcher bag material is subject

to deterioration and wear. It should be checked frequently

for bag replacement° Replacement bags should be checked

to ensure compliance with the original manufacturerts

recommendations or specifications

Dipstick assembly must be securely tightened into tube

at all times when engine is operating.

Fill Fuel Tank (Fig, 6). Use fresh, clean, regular unieaded

automotive gasoline, (Use of leaded gasoline will increase

carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life).

Capacity is 3 - 1/2 gallonso

YOUR TRACTOR IN A LARGE, OPEN

AREA_

NOTE: THIS TRACTOR IS EQUIPPED WITH INTERLOCK

SWITCHES TO PREVENT STARTING OF THE TRACTOR

ENGINE WHILE THE ATTACHMENT CLUTCH OR THE

TRACTOR CLUTCH IS ENGAGED.

IMMEDIATELY REPLACE SWITCHES

THAT ARE NOT IN PROPER WORKING

ORDER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT

THE PURPOSE OF THESE SWITCHES,,

1. Place Attachment Clutch Lever in "DISENGAGED"

position (Fig., 9),

2,. Push Clutch-Brake Pedal fully into brake position (Fig B)_

3., Place Gear Shift Control Lever in "N" neutral, start posi _

tion (Fig 9)o

Pull Choke out (Fig 9),

Move Throttle Control to middle position (Fig. 9).

Turn Ignition Key to "START" position until Engine starts

(Fig, 9). NOTE: DO NOT RUN STARTER CONTINU-

OUSLY FOR MORE THAN FIFTEEN SECONDS PER

MINUTE. If engine does not start after several attempts,

move Throttle Control to "F" (fast} position, wait a few

minutes and try again.

The first time you start the engine, it will take extra crank-

ing time to move fuel from tank to the engine.

NOTE: ALLOW ENGINE TO WARM UP FOR A FEW

MINUTES BEFORE ENGAGING CLUTCH OF TRACTOR

OR ATTACHMENT,

When restarting a warm engine, move Throttle Control mid-

way between "S" (slow} and "F" (fast} position. Choke

may not have to be used.

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

mowing in the first gear and increase ground speed as

conditions will 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, Moving the

Knob clockwise (/'_'_,) raises the mower (Fig, t4 - Inset),

Moving the Knob counterclockwise (F'_) 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 wil! result in a more even distribution of clippings and

more uniform cutting, When mowing large areas (Fig, 20)

start by turning to the right so that the clippings will 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

ASSEMBLY

FLANGES

1. 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,, tF

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 r it is recommended that

before the start 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

7. Use Lift Lever to raise Suspension Arms. Slide mower out

from under tractor

NOTE: IF AN ATTACHMENT OTHER THAN THE MOWER

DECK IS TO BE MOUNTED ON THE TRACTOR, THE LH

AND RH SUSPENSION ARMS (FIG 25) SHOULD BE

REMOVED FROM TRACTOR

DAILY OR EVERY HOURS

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

DO NOT CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL tWITH ENGINE RUNNING t

Several minutes after stopping Engine, check Engine Oil Level

with Tractor on level ground Wipe Dipstick (Fig 27) clean,

screw it down tight for a few seconds, remove and read Oil

Level. If necessary, add Oil until "FULL" mark is reached.

(See chart, page 6} NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL

.ouRs

(EVERY 15 HOURS IF OPERATING

IN VERY DUSTY CONDITIONS)

!1 CLEAN AIR SCREEN

Air Screen (Fig, 29) must allow free.,ftow of air to prevent

Engine damage from overheating. Clean with a wire brush,

compressed air or water pressure to remove dirt, chaff,

stubborn dried gum and fibers_

2, CLEAN FRONT GRILL

The front Grill (Fig 30) must allow free flow of air to pre-

vent engine damage from overheating

a Brush off debris

3o LUBRICATE STEERING AND FRONT WHEELS

There is a grease fitting on each front wheel Use a grease

gun; give each grease fitting two shots of Extreme Pressure

Lubricating Grease Amdex No. 1 or equivalent (available

through your Sears Service Center), Use 30 weight oil to

lubricate Front Spindles (Fig, 31) Use 30 weight oil to

lubricate Front Axle Pivot (Fig, 31)

4, OIL PIVOT POINTS

Place several drops of SA E 30 Oil at points where parts

move against each other, especially:

a Front Axle Pivot,

b Hood Hinges

c. Foot Pedal Shaft (both ends)

d Lift Shaft (both ends)

SEE LUBRICATION CHART, PAGE 22

5, CHECK BATTERY

a, Electrolyte solution level in each Battery Celt should be

even with bottoms of tubes in cells (Fig. 32), Add dis-

tilled water if necessary NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL

b, Keep Battery and Terminals clean, Refer to step 6_

c, Keep Battery Bolts tight.

d, Keep Vent Caps tight and small vent holes in Caps

open.

e, Recharge SLOWLY at 3 amperes if necessary

6. CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS

Corrosion and dirt on the Battery and Terminals cause

the Battery to "leak" power and hinders the operation of

the charger,

a, Remove the Battery from the Tractor and wash with

four tablespoons of baking soda to one gallon of water

NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT 'tO GET THE SODA

SOLUTION INTO THE CELLS. Rinse the Battery with
