deck with yourtractor.
•
Do not mowat high groundspeed,especiallyif a mulch kit or

•
For best resultsit is recommendedthat the firsttwo laps be cut

1. Drivethe tractorto a level,clearspot on your lawn,near enough
to a watersillcock(spigot)for yourgarden hoseto reach.

Alwayskeepthe rubberbootpositionedoverthe positiveterminal

Using Deck Wash System TM
Use the DeckWashSystemTM to rinsegrassclippingsfromthe deck's

Charging
the Battery
If thetractorhas notbeen put intouse for an extendedperiodof

minimumof one hourat six amps.

After adjustingthe seat or beforedrivingthetractor,make surethat
the seat adjustmentleveris engagedin the seat indexplateand
that the seat will not move.Do notadjustthe seatwhilethe tractor
is beingdriven.Adjustingthe seat whilethe tractoris movingcould
causethe operatorto losecontrolof the tractor.

indexplate. See Figure14.

Cleaning the Battery
Cleanthe batteryby removingitfrom the tractorand washingwith
a bakingsoda andwater solution.If necessary,scrapethe battery

A 20 ampfuse is installedin yourtractor'swiringharnessto
protectthe tractor'selectricalsystemfrom damagecausedby

•

If theelectricalsystemdoesnot function,or yourtractor'sengine
will notcrank,first checkto be certain that thefuse hasnot blown.

Steering and Transmission
Linkage
Thesteeringtie rod and drag links and the relatedtransmissionlinkage
are set at the factoryand shouldnot requirefurtheradjustment.
Becauseof the complexadjustmentprocedure,the steeringand

If the cuttingdeck appearsto be mowingunevenly,a sideto side
adjustmentcan be performed.Adjust if necessaryas follows:
1. With the tractorparkedon a firm, levelsurface,movethe deck to
the mid heightposition(thirdor fourth notch)usingthe deck lift
lever.Rotatethe left bladeso that it is perpendicularto the tractor

Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and
Air index information On Your Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2 Emission Standards must
display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index. Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A.
makes this information available to the consumer on our emission labels.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time for which the engine is
certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The following categories are used:
Moderate:

Engine is certified

to be emission compliant

for 125 hours of actual engine running time.

Intermediate:

Engine is certified

to be emission compliant

for 250 hours of actual engine running time.

Extended:

Engine is certified

to be emission compliant

for 500 hours of actual engine running time.

For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year. Therefore, the Emissions
Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would equate to 10 to 12 years.
The Air Index is a calculated number describing the relative level of emissions for a specific engine family. The
lower the Air Index, the cleaner the engine. This information is displayed in graphical form on the emissions label.

Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A. engines will be certified to meet the United States

C = 125 hours, B = 250 hours and A = 500 hours.
