ments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications of the man-
ufacturer of your tractor. Use common

sense when towing. Operate only at the

lowest possible speed when on a slope.
Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is

dangerous. Tires can lose traction with
the ground and cause you to lose control

of your tractor.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• 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.

II. 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, net 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:

• 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.

III. 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 adult.

• 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 closed
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.

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 (_I) to raise cutting

height.

• Turn knob counterclockwise (v--,)to

lower cutting height.

!4

The cutting height range is approximately

1-1/2" to 4o1/2". 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: Be sure tractor is on a flat level
surface.

1. Lower mower and adjust mower to de-

sired cutting height(See 'qO 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.

1. Select desired height of cut.

2. Lower mower with attachment lift con-
trol.

3. Start mower blades by engaging at-
tachment clutch control.

TO STOP MOWER BLADES -
_ngage attachment clutch control.

AUTION: Do not operate the mower
without either the entire grass catcher,
on mowers so equipped, or the deflector

shield in place.

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

Tires can lose traction with the ground and

cause you to lose control of your tractor.

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

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

• 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.

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,
depress clutch/brake pedal and set

parking brake.

2. Place gear shift lever in neutral (N)

position.

3. Move attachment clutch to disengaged

position.

4. Move throttle control to fast position

5. Pull 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.

6. 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 con-

trol out and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and
above)

7. 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.

16

• The attachments and ground drive can f

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)

7. 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.

• The attachments can be used during .
the engine warm-up period and may

require the choke control be pulled out

slightly.
NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000
feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32 F)

the carburetor fuel mixture may need to

be adjusted for best engine performance. •
See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the

Service and Adjustments section of 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, tences,
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 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.

dust and dirt that will shorten the life of
the self-lubricating bearings. If you feel

they must be lubricated, use only a dry,
powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when per-
forming any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION
If tractor requires more than six (6) feet

stopping distance at high speed in highest

gear, then brake must be 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

Be sure operator presence and interlock

systems are working properly, If your trac-
tor does not function as described, repair

the problem immediately.

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

attachement clutch control is in the
disengaged 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.

BLADE CARE
For best results mower blades must be

kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged
blades.

BLADE REMOVAL

1. Raise mower to highest position to al-
low access to blades.

2. Remove blade bolt, lock washer and
flat washer securing blade.

3. Install new or resharpened blade
with trailing edge up towards deck as

shown.

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper assembly,
center hole in blade must align with star

on mandrel assembly.

4. Reassemble blade bolt, lock washer
and flat washer in exact order as
shown.

5. Tighten blade bolt securely (27-35 Ft.

Lbs. torque).

IMPORTANT: Blade bolt is grade 8 heat
treated.

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 llanced.

TO ADJUST ATTACHMENT CLUTCH
The electric clutch should provide years

of service. The clutch has a built-in brake
that stops the pulley within 5 seconds.

Eventually, the internal brake will wear

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).

loosen casing clamp screw and move
choke cable until choke is completely
closed. Tighten casing clamp screw

securely.

4. Reassemble air cleaner.

Closed for Full

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).

2. 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 1200 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. De
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 Sears or other qualified
service center, which has proper equip-
ment and experience to make any neces-

sary adjustments.

29

Immediatelyprepareyourtractorforstor-
ageattheendofthe seasonorif thetrac-

_will notbe usedfor30 daysor 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.

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 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 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 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.
