injuries. These operatorsshould

evaluate their abilityto operate the ridleg

mower safely enoughto protectthem-

salves and othersfrom sedous injury.

•Keep machine free of grass, leaves or

other debris build-upwhich can touch

hot exhaust /engine partsand bum. Do

net allow the mower deck to plow leaves

or other debds which can cause build-

upto occur. Clean any oil or fuel

spillage before operatingor storingthe

machine. Allow machine to cool hefere

storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-

control and tipover accidents,which can re-

sult in severe injury or death. All slopes

require exb'acaution. Ifyou cannot beck up

the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, de not

maw it.

DO;

•Mow up and down slopes, net across.

•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs,etc.

Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven

ten'ain could overturn the machine. Taft

grass can hide obstacles.

Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop orshif_

while on the slope.

Follow the manufacturer's recommenda-

tions for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improvestability.

Use extra care with grass catchersor

other attachments. These can change

the stabilityof the machine.

Keep all movement on the slopes slew

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

Avoid startingor stoppingon a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straightdown the

slope.

DO NOT:

•Do not turn on slopes unless necessary,

and then, turn slowly and gradually

caves in.

•Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced

tractioncould cause sliding.

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by

potting your foot on the ground.

•Do notuse grass catcher on steep

slopes.

"backfire'.

•Turn ignition key to =OFF" position and

remove key. Always remove key when

leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized

use.

•Never use choke to stop engine.

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignitionswitch

in any position other than "OFF" will

cause the battery to be discharged,

Ndead).

OTE: Under certain conditionswhen

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.

4_CAUTION: Always stop tractor

completely, as described above, before

leaving the operator's position; to empty

grass catcher, etc.

THROTTLE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

• Operating engine at less than full

threttle reduces the battery charging

rate.

•Full throttle offers the best bagging and

mower performance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL

Use choke control whenever you are

starting a cold engine. Do not use to start

a warm engine.

• To engage choke control, pull knob out.

Slowly push knob in to disengage.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND

BACKWARD

The direction and speed of movement is

controlled by the forward and reverse

ddve pedals.

forward travel only.

1. With forward drive pedal depressed to

desired speed, move cruise control

lever forward to "SET" positionand

hold while liftingyour foot off the

pedal, then release the cruise control

lever.

To disengage the cruise control, pull the

lever backward to =OFF" position, or fully

depress the brake pedal.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

The positionof the attachment lift lever

determines the cutting heighL

•Grasp liftlever.

•Press plunger with thumb and move

14 lever to desired position.

Thecuttingheight range is approxi-

mately 1-1/2 to 4". The heights are

measured 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 dudng 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 flat level

surface.

I. Lower mower and adjust mower to

desired cutting height.

2. Remove retainer spdng and clevis pin

which secure each gauge wheel bar.

3. Lower gauge wheels to ground. Raise

gauge wheels slightlyto align holes in

bracket and gauge wheel bar and

insert clevis pin. Gauge wheels

should be slightlyoff the ground.

4. Replace retainer spdng into clevis pin.

5. Be sure all gauge wheels are in the

same setting.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to readjust gauge

wheels if you change the cutting height

of the mowerdeck.

CHECKENGINEOILLEVEL

Theengineinyourtractorhasbeen

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

dipstickinto 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 yon should

change oil for easier starting(Sen =OIL

VISCOSITY CHART" inthe Mainte-

nance sectionof this manual).

• To change engine oil, see the Mainte-

nance section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

•Fill fuel 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

mixoil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in

quantities that can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness.

IMPORTANT: When operating in tem-

peratures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh,

clean winter grade gasoline to help

insure good cold weather starting.

_,WARNING: Experience indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gasehol 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 untilthe fuel lines

and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel

next season. See Storage Instructionsfor

additional information. Never use engine

or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

ACAUTION: Fill to 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 starting the engine for the first time

or ifthe engine has run out of fuel, itwill

take extra cranking time to move fuel from

the tank to the engine.

1. Be sure freewheel controlis 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 controlto fast position

allowing the engine to accept small

changes in speed and load, untilthe

choke controt is fully in. If the engine

starts to run roughly, pull the choke

control out slightlyfor 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

16 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. 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 dudng

the engine warm-up peded 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 perfom]ance.

See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.

PURGETRANSMISSION

ACAUTION: Never engage or disengage

freewheel lever while the engine is

running.

To ensure proper operation and perfor-

mance, it is recommended that the

transmission be purged before operating

traelor for the first time. This procedure will

remove any trapped air inside the trans-

mission which may have developed during

shipping of your bactor.

IMPORTANT: Should your transmission

require removal for service or replacement,

it should be purged after reiostallation

before operating 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

position(See TO TRANSPORT" in

this section of manual).

3. Sittingin the tractor seat, start engine.

After the engine is running, move

throttle control to slow position.

Disengage parking brake.

4. Depress forward drive pedal to full

forward positionand hold for five (5)

seconds and release pedal. Depress

reverse drive pedal to full reverse

position and hold for five (5) seconds

and release pedal. Repeat this

procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: Dudng this procedure there will be

no movement of drive wheels. The air is

being removed from hydraulic ddve

system.

5. Shut- off engine and set perking

brake.

6. Engage transmission by placing

freewheel control in ddving 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.

Disengage parking brake.

8. Drive tractor forward for approximately

five feet then backwards for five feet.

Repeat this ddving procedure three

times.

Your tractor is now purged and now ready

for normal operation.

MOWlNGTIPS

• 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.

•Ddve 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 amore even distribu-

tion of clippings and more uniform

cutting.

• When mowing large areas, start by

turning to the right so that clippings will

discharge away from shrubs, fences,

ddveways, 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 dded dip-.

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.

they must be lubricated, use only a dry,

powdered graphite type lubdcant

sparingly.

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when

performing any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet

stoppingdistance at high speed in

highest gear, then brake must be ad-

justed. (See =TOADJUST BRAKE" inthe

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

fiat 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 Mat operator presence and

interlocksystems are working properly. If

your tractor does not function as de.-

scribed below, repair the problem

immediately.

•The engine should not start unless the

brake pedal is fully depressed and

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 of the center hole may

appear to be centered, but are not.

•Slide blade on to an unthreaded

portion of 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 untilthe blade is

balanced.

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. 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 richer fuel/

air mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles

and the seats in carburetor may result if

screw is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

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

the throttle control cable is adjusted

propedy (see =TO ADJUST

THROll'LEE CONTROL CABLEmin the

Service and Adjustments section of

this manual).

2. Withengineoffturnidlefuel adjusting

needle In (clockwise) closing it finger

tight and then turn out (counterclock-

wise) 1 tum.

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 setting - 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 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 throttle control lever from slow to

fast position. If engine hesitates or

dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle

out (counterclockwise) 1/8 tum.

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 your nearest Sears or

other qualified service center, which has

proper equipment and experience to

make any necessary adjustments.

Immediatelyprepare your tractor for

storage at the end of the season or if the

tractor will not be used for 30 days or

more.

_QI,CAUTION: Neverstore the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside abuilding

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. V_en 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 instructions in

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 lightlybefore painting.

BA'I-rERY

• Fully charge the battery for storage.

• After a period of time in storage, battery

may require recharging.

• To help prevent corrosionand power

leakage dudng long periods of storage,

battery cables should be disconnected

and battery cleaned thoroughly (see

=TOCLEAN BATTERYAND TERMI-

NALS" in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

• After cleaning, leave cables discon-

nected and place cables where they

cannot come in contactwith 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 importantto 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. Acidicgas can

damage the fuel system of and engine

while in storage.

1. Drain the fuel tank.

2. Start the engine and let it run untilthe

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 followthe 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 ignitionkey 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, store your 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 tractorwhile

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
