IMPORTANT:Thiscuttingmachneiscapableofamputatinghandsandfeet and

throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instruCtionscould result in

sedous injury or death.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all

instructions in the manual and on the

machine before starting.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are

familiar with the instructions, to operate

the machine.

•Clear the area of objects such as

rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be

picked up and thrown by the blade,

•Be sure the area is clear of other

peopla before mowing. Stop machine

if anyone enters the area.

•Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely necessary. Always look down

and behind before and while backing.

•Be aware of the mower discharge

direction and do not point _t at anyone,

Do not operate the mower without

either the entire grass catcher or the

guard inplace.

•Slow down before turning.

•Never leave arunning machine

unattended. Always tum off blades, set

parking brake stop engine, and

remove keys before dismount ng.

•Tum off blades when not mowing,

•Stop engine before removing grass

catcher or unclogging chute.

•Mow only in daylight or good artificial

light.

•Do not operate the machine while

under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

•Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or

unloading the machine into a trailer or

truck.

•Data indicates that operators, age 60

years and above, are involved in a

large percentage of dding mower-

related in odes. These operators

should evaluate the r ability to operate

the dding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from

serious injury.

Iio SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a ma'lor factor related to lass-of-

control and tipover accidents, which can

result in severe injury or death. All slopes

require extra caution. Ifyou cannot back up

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

mow it.

DO:

Mow up and down slopes, not across.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

•Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.

Uneven terrain could overturn the

machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low gear

so that you will nOthave to stop or shift

while on the slope.

•Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dations for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

•Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability of the machine.

•Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the

blades and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

DO NOT:

•Do not turn on slopes unless neceso

sery and then, turn slowly and gradu-

ally downhill, if poss b e.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could

suddenly turn over if a wheel is over

the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

caves in.

•Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced

traction could cause sliding,

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by

putting your foot on the ground,

•Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.

3

Ill. CHILDREN

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.

•Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

•Be alert and tum machine off if children

enter the area.

•Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

•Never carry children. They may fail off

and be seriously injured or interfere

with safe machine operation.

•Never allow children to operate the

machine.

•Use extra care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure vision,

IV. SERVICE

The operation of any tractor can result in foreign objects thrown into the

eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety

glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any

adjustments or rapairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over

spectacles or standard safety glasses.

HOWTO USEYOURTRACTOR

TO SET PARKING BRAKE

Your tractor is equipped with an operator

presence sensing switch. When engine

is running, any attempt by the operator to

leave the seat without first setting the

parking brake will shut off the engine.

1. Depress clutch/brake pedal into full

"BRAKE" position and hold.

2. Place parking brake lever in "EN-

GAGED" position and release

pressure from clutch/brake pedal.

Pedal should remain in =BRAKE"

position. Make sure parking brake will

hold tractor secure.

MOWER BLADES -

•To stop mower bledaa,move attach-

ment clutch switch to "DISENGAGED"

position.

GROUND DRIVE -

•To stop ground ddvel depress clutch/

brake pedal into full "BRAKE" position.

•Move motion control lever to neutral (N)

position.

IMPORTANT: The motion control lover

does not return to neutral (N) position

when the clutch/brake pedal is de-

pressed.

ENGINE -

•Move throttle control to slow position.

NOTE: Failure to move'throttle control to

slow position and allowing engine to idle

before stopping may cause engine to

"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 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 direction and speed of movement is

controlled by the motion control lever.

1. Start tractor with motion control lever in

neutral (N) position.

2. Release parking brake and clutch/

brake pedal.

3. Slowly move motion control lever to

desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CU'FFING HEIGHT

The cutting height is controlled by

turning the height adjustment knob in

desired direction.

•Turn knob clockwise ( F'I ) to raise

cutting height.

•Turn knob counterclockwise (1_)to

lower cutting height.

4 ,'

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

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 slightly off the ground

when mower is at the desired cutting

height in operating position. Gauge

wheels then keep the deck in proper

position to help prevent scalping in most

terrain conditions.

NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor

on a flat level surface.

!, Adjust mower to desired cutting height

(See 'I"O ADJUST MOWER CUTTING

HEIGHT" in the Operation section of

this manual).

2, With mower in desired height of cut

position, gauge wheels should be

assembled so they are slightly off the

ground. Install gauge wheel in

appropdate hole with shoulder bolt, 3/

8 washer, and 3/8-16 Iocknut and

tighten securely.

BEFORE STARTINGTHE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

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 Mainte-

nance 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 increasecarbonand lead oxide

depositsand reduce valve life). Do not

mix oil withgasoline. Pumhasefuel in

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 distribu-

tion 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 notmow grasswhenit is wet. Wet

grass will plugmowerand leave

undesirableclumps. Allowgrassto

dry before mowing.

• Always operate engine at full throttle

when mowingto assurebetter

mowingperformanceand proper

dischargeof material. Regulate

groundspeed by selectinga low

enough gearto givethe mowercutting

performanceas well as the qualityof

cut desired.

•When operatingattachments,selecta

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when

performing any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) fast

stopping distance at high speed in

highest gear, then brake must be ad-

justed. (See "TO ADJUST BRAKE" in the

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

flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant

may be pumhased from your local parts

dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry

rot and corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure operator presence and interlock

systems are working propedy. If your

tractor does not function as dsscdbed,

repair the problem immediately.

•The engine should not start unless the

clutch/brake pedal is fully depressed

and attachment clutch control is in the

disengaged position.

•When the engine is running, any

attempt by the operator to leave the

seat without first setting the parking

brake should shut off the engine.

•When the engine is running and the

attachment clutch is engaged, any

attempt by the operator to leave the

seat should shut off the engine.

• The attachment clutch should never

operate unless the operator is in the

seat.

damage to mower and engine.

•The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a gdnding wheel. 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 instructions supplied

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 hodzontal position. If either end of

the blade moves downward, sharpen

the heaw end until the blade is

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 aclean 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 (counterclock-

wise) 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

aperiod 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 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 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 discon-

nected 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.

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 afew 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 asuitable

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.
