* The power rating as declared by the engine manufacturer is the

average gross power output at the specified RPM of a typical production engine for the engine model measured using SAE

589915101

Standards for engine gross power. Please refer to the engine manufacturer for details.

WARNING: This tractor is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forestcovered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator.

In the state of California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your nearest Sears service center (See ENGINE ASSEMBLY section of this manual).
