I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all

instructions on the machine and in the

manual before starting.

• Do not put hands or feet near rotating

parts or under the machine. Keep clear

of the discharge opening at all times.

• 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 blades.

• Be sure the area is clear of bystand-

ers before operating. 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.

• Never direct discharged material

toward anyone. Avoid discharging

material against a wall or obstruction.

Material may ricochet back toward the

operator. Stop the blades when cross-

ing gravel surfaces.

• Do not operate machine without the

entire grass catcher, discharge guard,

or other safety devices in place and

working.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine

unattended. Always turn off blades,

set parking brake, stop engine, and

remove keys before dismounting.

• Disengage blades when not mowing.

Shut off engine and wait for all parts to

come to a complete stop before clean-

ing the machine, removing the grass

catcher, or unclogging the discharge

guard.

• Operate machine 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 unload-

ing the machine into a trailer or truck.

• Always wear eye protection when oper-

ating machine.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60

years and above, are involved in a

large percentage of riding mower-re-

lated injuries. These operators should

evaluate their ability to operate the

riding mower safely enough to protect

themselves and others from serious

injury.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dation for wheel weights or counter-

weights.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves or

other debris build-up which can touch

hot exhaust /engine parts and burn.

Do not allow the mower deck to plow

leaves or other debris which can cause

build-up to occur. Clean any oil or fuel

spillage before operating or storing the

machine. Allow machine to cool before

storage.

I1.SLOPE OPERATION

Slopesarea majorfactor relatedto lossof

control and tip-overaccidents,whichcan

resultin severeinjuryor death. Opera-

tion on all slopes requiresextra caution. If

you cannot back up the slope or if you feel

uneasy on it, do not mow it.

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or

other hidden objects. Uneven terrain

could overturn the machine. Tall grass

can hide obstacles.

• Choose a low ground speed so that

you will not have to stop or shift while

on the slope.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may

lose traction.

Always keep the machine in gear when

going down slopes. Do not shift to

neutral and coast downhill.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on

a slope. If the tires lose traction, dis-

engage the blades and proceed slowly

straight down the slope.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction, which

could cause the machine to roll over.

• Use extra care while operating ma-

chine with grass catchers or other at-

tachments; they can affect the stability

of the machine. Do no use on steep

slopes.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine by

putting your foot on the ground.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches,

or embankments. The machine could

suddenly roll over if a wheel is over the

edge or if the edge caves in.

III. 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 in the watchful care of a respon-

sible adult other than the operator.

•Be alert and turn machine off if a child

enters the area.

• Before and while backing, look behind

and down for small children.

• Never carry children, even with the

blades shut off. They may fall off and

be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation. Children who

have been given rides in the past may

suddenly appear in the mowing area

for another ride and be run over or

backed over by the machine.

• Never allow children to operate the

machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may block your view of a child.

IV. TOWING

• Tow only with a machine that has a

hitch designed for towing. Do not at-

tach towed equipment except at the

hitch point.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dation for weight limits for towed equip-

ment and towing on slopes.

• Never allow children or others in or on

towed equipment.

• On slopes, the weight of the towed

equipment may cause loss of traction

and loss of control.

• Travel slowly and allow extra distance

to stop.

V. SERVICE

SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

damage, use extreme care in handling

gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable

and the vapors are explosive.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes,

and other sources of ignition.

•Use only approved gasoline container.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with

the engine running. Allow engine to

cool before refueling.

• Never fuel the machine indoors.

or on a truck or trailer bed with plastic

liner. Always place containers on the

ground away from your vehicle when

filling.

• Removegas-poweredequipmentfrom

the truckor trailerand refuelit on the

ground.If this is not possible,then

refuel suchequipmentwith a portable

container,ratherthanfrom a gasoline

dispensernozzle.

STOPPING

MOWER BLADES -

• To stop mower blades, push attachment

clutch switch in to disengaged position.

GROUND DRIVE -

• To stop ground drive, depress clutch/

brake pedal all the way down.

• Move gearshift lever to neutral (N) posi-

tion.

ENGINE -

• Move throttle control between half and

full speed (fast) position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control

between half and full speed (fast) posi-

tion, before stopping, may cause engine to

"backfire".

• Turn ignition key to "STOP" 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 "STOP" will

cause the battery to discharge and go

dead.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when

tractor is standing idle with the engine run-

ning, hot engine exhaust gases may cause

"browning" of grass. To eliminate this pos-

sibility, always stop engine when stopping

tractor on grass areas.

_CAUTION: Always stop tractor com-

pletely, as described above, before leaving

the operator's position.

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 mower perfor-

mance.

TO USE CHOKE CONTROL

Use choke control whenever you are start-

ing 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 gearshift lever.

1. Start tractor with clutch/brake pedal de-

pressed and gearshift lever in neutral

(N) position.

2. Move gearshift and range shift levers

to desired position.

3. Slowly release clutch/brake pedal to

start movement.

IMPORTANT: Bring tractor to a complete

stop before shifting or changing gears.

Failure to do so will shorten the useful life

of your transaxle.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

The cutting height is controlled by turn-

ing the height adjustment knob in desired

direction.

• Turn knob clockwise (_) to raise cutting

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: Be sure tractor is on a flat level

surface.

1. Lower mower and adjust mower to de-

sired cutting height(See "TO ADJUST

MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT" in this

section of manual).

2. Remove retainer spring and clevis pin

which secure each gauge wheel bar.

3. Lower gauge wheels to ground. Raise

gauge wheels slightly to align holes

in bracket and gauge wheel bar and

insert clevis pin. Gauge wheels should

be slightly off the ground.

4. Replace retainer spring 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 mower deck.

TO OPERATE MOWER

Your tractor is equipped with an operator

presence sensing switch. Any attempt

by the operator to leave the seat with the

engine running and the attachment clutch

engaged will shut off the engine. You must

remain fully and centrally positioned in the

seat to prevent the engine from hesitating

or cutting off when operating your equip-

ment on rough, rolling terrain or hills.

1. Select desired height of cut.

2. Lower mower with attachment lift con-

trol.

3. Start mower blades by engaging at-

tachment clutch control.

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse

Operation System (ROS). Any attempt by

the operator to travel in the reverse direc-

tion with the attachment clutch engaged

will shut off the engine unless ignition key

is placed in the ROS "ON" position.

,_,WARNING: Backing up with the at-

tachment clutch engaged while mowing

is strongly discouraged. Turning the ROS

"ON", to allow reverse operation with the

attachment clutch engaged, should only

be done when the operator decides it is

necessary to reposition the machine with

the attachment engaged. Do not mow in

reverse unless absolutely necessary.

USING THE REVERSE OPERATION

SYSTEM -

1. Depress clutch/brake pedal all the way

down and hold.

2. With engine running, turn ignition key

counterclockwise to ROS "ON" posi-

tion.

TO OPERATE ON HILLS

AWARNING: Do not drive up or down

hills with slopes greater than 15 ° and do

not drive across any slope. Use the slope

guide at the back of this manual.

•Choose the slowest speed before starting

up or down hills.

•Avoid stopping or changing speed on

hills.

•If slowing is necessary, move throttle

control lever to slower position.

• If stopping is absolutely necessary, push

clutch/brake pedal quickly to brake position

and engage parking brake.

• Move gearshift lever to lstgearand range

shift lever to low (L) position. Be sure you

have allowed room for tractor to roll slightly

as you restart movement.

• To restart movement, slowly release park-

ing brake and clutch/brake pedal.

•Make all turns slowly.

TO TRANSPORT

• Raise attachment lift to highest position

with attachment lift control.

• When pushing or towing your tractor,

be sure gearshift lever is in neutral (N)

position.

•Do not push or tow tractor at more than

five (5) MPH.

NOTE: To protect hood from damage when

transporting your tractor on a truck or a

trailer, be sure hood is closed and secured

to tractor. Use an appropriate means of

tying hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recom-

mended by and comply with specifications

of the manufacturer of your tractor. Use

common sense when towing. Too heaw

of a load, while on a slope, is dangerous.

Tires can lose traction with the ground and

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has been

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 dip-

stick 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 the

oil viscosity chart in the Maintenance

section of this manual).

•To change engine oil, see the Mainte-

nance section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do

not overfill. 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 mix oil

with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan-

tities that can be used within 30 days to

assure fuel freshness.

_i, CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame.

IMPORTANT: When operating in temper-

atures below32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean

winter grade gasoline to help insure good

cold weather starting.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called

gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can

attract moisture which leads to separa-

tion 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 until the fuel lines

and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel

next season. See Storage Instructions for

additional information. Never use engine

or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE

When starting the engine for the first time

or if the engine has run out of fuel, it will

take extra cranking time to move fuel from

the tank to the engine.

1. Sit on seat in operating position,

cause you to lose control of your tractor. 13

See"TOADJUSTCARBURETOR"inthe

Service andAdjustmentssectionof this

manual.

MOWING TIPS

• Tire chains cannot be used when the

mower housing is attached to tractor.

• Mower should be properly 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 already been

cut. Have the cut area to the right of

the tractor. This will result in a more

even distribution 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,

driveways, etc. After one or two rounds,

mow in the opposite direction making

left hand turns until finished.

]1,

( .,

• If grass is extremely tall, it should be

mowed twice to reduce load and pos-

sible fire hazard from dried clippings.

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 at-

tachment being used.

forming any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to

stop at highest speed in highest gear on a

level, dry concrete or paved surface, then

brake must be checked and adjusted. (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 rub-

ber.

• 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 purchased from your local parts

dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry

rot and corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM AND

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

which may cause the mower blades to

not engage, or, to not stop as required.

Adjustments should be made by a Sears

or other qualified service center.

1. Make sure attachment clutch and igni-

tion switches are in "OFF" position.

2. Adjust the three nylon Iocknuts until

space between clutch plate and rotor

measures .012" at all three slot loca-

tions cut in the side of brake plate.

is necessary, proceed as follows:

1. With engine not running, move choke

control (located on dash panel) to full

choke position.

2. Remove air cleaner cover, filter and

cartridge plate to expose carburetor

choke (See "AIR FILTER" in the Main-

tenance section of this manual).

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been present at the

factory and adjustment should not be nec-

essary. 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

properly (see "TO ADJUST THROTTLE

CONTROL CABLE" in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual).

,With engine off turn idle fuel adjust-

ing needle in (clockwise) closing it

finger tight and then turn out (counter-

clockwise) 1 turn.

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 speed setting - With throttle control

lever in slow position, engine should

idle at 1750 RPM. If engine idles too

slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting

screw in or out until correct idle is at-

tained.

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

turn out (counterclockwise) approxi-

mately 3/4 turn to obtain the best low

speed performance.

4. Recheck idle speed. Readjust if neces-

sary.

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 turn. Repeat

test and continue to adjust, if neces-

sary, 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 ad-

justing, contact a Sears or other qualified

service center, which has proper equip-

ment and experience to make any neces-

sary adjustments.

Immediately prepare your tractor for stor-

age at the end of the season or if the trac-

will not be used for 30 days or more.

WARNING: 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 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 Maintenance

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 period of time in storage, battery

may require recharging.

• To help prevent corrosion and power

leakage during long periods of storage,

battery cables should be disconnected

and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO

CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" 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 deposits from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel

hose, or tank during storage. Also, 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 dam-

age the fuel system of an engine while in

storage.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting the en-

gine and letting 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 stor-

age 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 carbure-

tor. Do not empty the gas tank and carbu-

retor 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 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

starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt 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 a suitable pro-

tective cover that does not retain mois-

ture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot

breathe which allows condensation to

form and will cause your tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.

SUGGESTED GUIDE FOR SIGHTING SLOPES FOR SAFE OPERATION

ONLY RIDE UP AND DOWN HILL,

NOT ACROSS HILL

15 DEGREES MAX.

_ARNING: To avoid serious injury, operate your tractor up and

down the face of slopes, never across the face. Do not mow

slopes greater than 15 degrees. Make turns gradually to prevent

tipping or loss of control. Exercise extreme caution when

changing direction on slopes.
