_lbug"

WARNmNG: Do not coast down a hill in

neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.
_!_WARNmNG: Tow only the attachments
that are recommended by and comply with
specifications of the manufacturer of your
tractor. Use common sense when towing.

L GENERAL OPERATmON
,, Read, understand, and follow all instruc-

tions 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 people
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 direc-

tion and do not point it at anyone. Do

not operate the mower without either

the entire grass catcher or the guard in

place.
Slow down before turning.
Never leave a running machine unat-

tended. Always turn off blades, set

parking brake, stop engine, and remove
keys before dismounting.

Turn 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 un-

loading the machine into a trailer or
truck.

Data indicates that operators, age 60
years and above, are involved in a large

percentage of riding mower-related in-
juries. These operators should evaluate
their ability to operate the riding mower
safely enough to protect themselves and

others from serious injury.

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.

H. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-
of-control and tipover accidents, which can

result in severe injury or death. All slopes
require extra caution. If you cannot back
up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do

not mow it.

3

DO:

Mow up and down slopes, not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Un-

even terrain could overturn the machine.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

Use slow speed. Choose a low gear
so that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.
Follow the manufacturer's recommend-

ations 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:

o Do not turn on slopes unless neces-

sary, and then, turn slowly and gradually
downhill, if possible.

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.

Ill.CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the ma-

chine and the mowing activity. Never as-
sume that children will remain where you

last saw them.

Keep children out of the mowing area
and under the watchful care of another

responsible aduIt.
Be alert and turn machine off if children

enter the area.
Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

Never carry children. They may fall 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

Use extra care in handling gasoline and
other fuels. They are flammable and

vapors are explosive.

-Use only an approved container.

- Never remove gas cap or add fuel
with the engine running. Allow
engine to cool before refueling. Do

not smoke.

-Never refuel the machine indoors.

- Never store the machine or fuel
container inside where there is an
open flame, such as a water heater.

Never run a machine inside a dosed
area.

Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade
attachment bolts, tight and keep equip-

ment in good condition.
Never tamper with safety devices.

Check their proper operation regularly.
Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or

other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel
spillage. Allow machine to cool before
storing.

Stop and inspect the equipment if you
strike an object. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

Never make adjustments or repairs with
the engine running.

Grass catcher components are subject
to wear, damage, and deterioration,
which could expose moving parts or

allow objects to be thrown. Frequently
check components and replace with

manufacturer's recommended parts,
when necessary.

Mower blades are sharp and can cut.
Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and

use extra caution when servicing them.

Check brake operation frequently. Ad-
just and service as required.

SAFETYGLASSES

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 repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a

wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

HOW TO USE YOUR TRACTOR

TO SET PARKmNG 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 all the way
down and hold.

2. Pull parking brake lever up and release
pressure from clutch/brake pedal.

Pedal should remain in brake position.
Make sure parking brake will hold trac-

tor secure.

GROUND DRIVE -

To stop ground drive, depress clutch/
brake pedal all the way down.

Move motion control lever to neutral (N)
position.

mMPORTANT: The motion control lever
does not return to neutral (N) position

when the clutch/brake pedal is depressed.

ENGINE -

Move throttle control to slow position.

NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to

slow position to allow engine to idle 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.

mMPORTANT: 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

running, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate
this possibility, always stop engine when

opping tractor on grass areas.

CAUTmON: Always stop tractor com-

pletely, as described above, before leaving

the operator's position.
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

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 motion control lever.

1. Start tractor with motion control lever in
neutral (N) position.

2. Release parking brake.

3. Slowly move motion control lever to
desired position.

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTmNG HEmGHT
The position of the attachment lift lever

determines the cutting height.

* Grasp lift lever.
* Press plunger with thumb and move

lever to desired position.

The cutting height range is approxi-

mately 1-1,/2 to 4". 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 approxi-

mately 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.

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=
IVlENTS

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 heavy

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

12

Tires can lose traction with the ground and
cause you to lose control of your tractor.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGmNE
CHECK ENGmNE OraL 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. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe
clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw

cap tight, wait for a few seconds, re-
move 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 GASOUNE

* Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank 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 quanti-

ties that can be used within 30 days to
assure fuel freshness.

_i_,CAUTmON: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame.

mMPORTANT: When operating in tempera-
tures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean
winter grade gasoline to help insure good

cold weather starting.

CAUTmON: 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. Be sure freewheel control is in the
transmission engaged position.

2. Sit on seat in operating position,
depress clutch/brake pedal and set

parking brake.

3. Place motion control lever in neutral

(N) position.

4. Move attachment clutch to disengaged

position.

5. Move throttle control to fast position

6. Putl choke control out for a cold engine start
attempt. For a warm engine start attempt

the choke control may not be needed.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and

cold starting procedures below.

7. Insert key into ignition and turn key
clockwise to start position and release

key as soon as engine starts. Do not run
starter continuously for more than fifteen
seconds per minute. If the engine does

not start after several attempts, push
choke control in, wait a few minutes and

try again. If engine still does not start, pull
the choke control out and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and
above)

8. When engine starts, slowly push choke
control in until the engine begins to

run smoothly. If the engine starts to
run roughly, pull the choke control out

slightly for a few seconds and then
continue to push the control in slowly.

* The attachments and ground drive can

now be used. If the engine does not
accept the load, restart the engine and

allow it to warm up for one minute using

the choke as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and

below)

8. When engine starts, slowly push choke
control in until the engine begins to run

smoothly. Continue to push the choke
control in small steps allowing the en-

gine to accept small changes in speed
and load, until the choke control is fully

in. If the engine starts to run roughly,
pull the choke control out slightly for 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 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. Place the motion control lever in

neutral. Release the parking brake and
let the clutch/brake slowly return to

13 operating position.

3. Allowoneminutefortransmissionto

PURGE TRANSMISSION

,_CAUTmON: Never engage or dis-
engage freewheel lever while the engine

is running.

To ensure proper operation and per-
formance, it is recommended that the

transmission be purged before operating
tractor for the first time. This procedure will

remove any trapped air inside the trans-
mission which may have developed during

shipping of your tractor.

mMPORTANT: Should your transmission
require removal for service or replace-

ment, it should be purged after reinstall-
ation 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 disengaged posi-
tion (See "TO TRANSPORT" in this

section of manual).

3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.
After the engine is running, move throttle

control to slow position. With motion
control lever in neutral (N) position, slowly

disengage clutch/brake pedal.

4. Move motion control lever to full
forward position and hold for five (5)

seconds. Move lever to full reverse

position and hold for five (5) seconds.

Repeat this procedure three (3) times.
NOTE: During this step there will be no
movement of drive wheels. The air is being

removed from hydraulic drive system.

5. Move motion control lever to neutral
(N) position. Shutoff engine and set

parking brake.

6. Engage transmission by placing free-
wheel control in engaged 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.

With motion control lever in neutral (N)

position, slowly disengage clutch/brake
pedal.

8. Slowly move motion control lever for-
ward, after the tractor moves approxi-

mately five (5) feet, slowly move motion

control lever to reverse position. After
the tractor moves approximately five

(5) feet return the motion control lever

to the neutral (N) position. Repeat this

procedure with the motion control lever

three (3) times.

Your transmission is now purged and now
ready for normal operation.

MOWING TiPS
,, 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.

f

, 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.

(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 seat 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

Be sure that operator presence and
interlock systems are working properly. If

your tractor does not function as described

below, repair the problem immediately.

The engine should not start unless
the brake pedal is fully depressed and

attachment clutch control is in the disen-
gaged position.

When the engine is running, any at-
tempt 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 at-
tempt by the operator to leave the seat
should shut off the engine.
The attachment clutch should never op-
erate unless the operator is in the seat.

TO SHARPEN BLADE
NOTE: We do not recommend sharp-

ening 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 grinding 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 balancer,

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

horizontal position. If either end of the

blade moves downward, sharpen the

heavy end until the blade is balanced.

Maintenance, repair, or replacement of
the emission control devices and systems,
which are being done at the customers ex-

pense, may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individual.
Warranty repairs must be performed by an

authorized engine manufacturer's service

outlet.
TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL

CABLE
The throttle control has been preset at the

factory and adjustment should not be nec-
essary. Check adjustment as described

below before loosening cable. If adjust-

ment is necessary, proceed as follows:

1. With engine not running, move throttle
control lever to fast position.

2. Check that swivel is against stop. If it is
not, loosen cable clamp screw and pull

cable back until swivel is against stop.
Tighten cable clamp screw securely.

TO ADJUST CHOKE CONTROL
The choke control has been preset at the

factory and adjustment shouJd not be nec-
essary. Check adjustment as described

below before loosening cable. If adjust-
ment is necessary, proceed as follows:

1. With engine not running, move choke
control (located on dash panel) to full
choke position.

2. Loosen knob and remove cover as-
sembly from air cleaner.

3. Choke should be closed. If it is not,
loosen casing clamp screw and move

choke cable until choke is completely
closed. Tighten casing clamp screw
securely.

4. Replace air cleaner cover assembly
and tighten knob.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your

engine does not operate properly due to
suspected carburetor problems, take your
tractor to a Sears or other qualified service
center for repair and/or adjustment.
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. Overspeed-
ing 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.

Immediately prepare your tractor for stor-

age at the end of the season or if the trac-
tor will not be used for 30 days or more.
_IKWARNING: 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.

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.

FUEL SYSTEM
mMPORTANT: 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.

NOT_': 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 car-

buretor. Do not empty the gas tank and
carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGmNE Oral

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in

the Maintenance section of this manual).
CYUNDER(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.

mMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
