• If the equipment should start to vibrate

abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and
check immediately for the cause. Vibra-

tion is generally a warning of trouble.

• Always wear safety goggles or safety

glasses with side shields when oper-
ating mower.

II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip &

fall accidents which can result in severe
injury. All slopes require extra caution. If

you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
DO:

• Mow across the face of slopes: never

up and down. Exercise extreme caution

when changing direction on slopes.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.Tall
grass can hide obstacles.

DO NOT:

• Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The operator could lose

footing or balance.

• Do not trim excessively steep slopes.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced
footing could cause slipping.

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. Neveras-

sume that children will remain where you
last saw them.

• Keep children out of the trimming area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children

enter the area.

• Before and while walking backwards,

look behind and down for small children.

• Never allow children to operate the

machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure vision.

IV, SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
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 an approved container.

• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with

the engine running. Allow engine to
cool before refueling.

• Never refuel the machine indoors.

• Never store the machine or fuel contain-
er where there is an open flame, spark

or pilot light such as a water heater or

on other appliances.

• Never fill containers inside a vehicle, on
a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner.

Always place containers on the ground

away from your vehicle before filling.

• Remove gas-powered equipment from

the truck or trailer and refuel it on the

ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment with a portable

container, rather than from a gasoline

dispenser nozzle.

• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening at
all times until fueling is complete. Do
not use a nozzle lock-open device.

• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change

clothing immediately.

• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas

cap and tighten securely.

_1_CAUTION: DO NOT overfill engine with

oil, or it will smoke on startup.

1. Be sure lawnmower is level.

2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.

3. You recieve a container of oil with the
unit. Slowly pour the entire container

down the oil fill spout into the engine.

4. Insert and tighten dipstick.

IMPORTANT:

• Check oil level before each use. Add oil

if needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.

• Change the oil after every 25 hours of

operation or each season. You may

need to change the oil more often
under dusty, dirty conditions. See "TO

CHANGE ENGINE Oil" in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck.

Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of
87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quantities that can be
used within 30 days to assure fuel fresh-

BESS.

• k CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
,_ar an open flame.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels

(called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-

nol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation 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. Empty 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 STOP ENGINE

• To stop engine, release operator pres-

ence control bar. Wait until blade and

all moving parts have stopped and turn
fuel valve to OFF position if you do not
intend to restart the engine soon.

TO START ENGINE

NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the

engine, a small amount of smoke may be
present during the initial use of the product

and should be considered normal.

1. Be sure fuel valve is in the ON position.

2. Move choke lever to ON ( N ) position.

3. Hold operator presence control bar
down to the handle and pull starter

handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.

NOTE: The choke lever automatically
begins moving to the OFF position when
operator presence control bar is held

down to handle.

OFF

Fuel valve lever

• Pores in cloth grass catchers can be-
come filled with dirt and dust with use

and catchers will collect less grass. To
prevent this, regularly hose catcher off

with water and let dry before using.

• Keep top ofengine around starterclear and

clean ofgrass clippings and chaff.This will
help engine airflow and extend engine life.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance,

keep mower housing free of built-up

grass and trash. See "CLEANING" in the

Maintenance section of this manual.

• The special mulching blade will recut the

grass clippings many times and reduce

them in size so that as they fall onto the

lawn they will disperse into the grass and
notbe noticed. Also, the mulched grass will
biodegrade quicklyto provide nutrients for

the lawn. Always mulch with your highest
engine (blade) speed as this will provide
the best recutting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it iswet. Wet

grass tends to form clumps and interferes
with the mulching action. The best time to

mow your lawn isthe early afternoon. Atthis
time the grass has dried, yet the newly cut

area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.

• Forbest results, adjustthe lawn mowercut-
ting height so that the lawn mower cuts off

only the top one-third of the grass blades.

Ifthe lawn isovergrown itwillbenecessary

to raise the height ofcut to reduce pushing

effort and to keep from overloading the
engine and leaving clumps of mulched

grass. For extremely heavy grass, reduce
your width of cutby overlapping previously
cut path and mow slowly.

MOWING TIPS

CAUTION: Do not use de-thatcher

blade attachments on your mower. Such
attachments are hazardous, will damage
your mower and could void your warranty.

• Under certain conditions, such as very

tall grass, it may be necessary to raise
the height of cut to reduce pushing effort
and to keep from overloading the engine
and leaving clumps of grass clippings.

It may also be necessary to reduce
ground speed and/or run the lawn

mower over the area a second time.

• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the

width of cut by overlapping previously
cut path and mow slowly.

• For better grass bagging and most cut-
ting conditions, the engine speed should

be set in the FAST position.

• Certain typesof grass and grass conditions
may require that anarea be mulched a sec-
ond time to completely hide the clippings.

When doing a second cut, mow across

(perpendicular) to the first cut path.

• Change your cutting pattern from week

to week. Mow north to south one week
then change to east to west the next
week. This will help prevent matting and

graining of the lawn.

Tabs

MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it

could create a fire hazard and/or damage.

SPARK PLUG

Replace spark plug at the beginning of

each mowing season or after every 100

hours of operation, whichever occurs

first. Spark plug type and gap setting
are shown in the "PRODUCT SPECIFIC-

ATIONS" section of this manual.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep •
mower housing free of built-up grass and

trash. Clean the underside of your mower

after each use. •

ACAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire

from spark plug and place wire where it •

cannot come in contact with plug.

• Clean the underside of your lawn mower

by scraping to remove build-up of grass
and trash.

Clean engine often to keep trash from
accumulating. A clogged engine runs

hotter and shortens engine life.
Keep finished surfaces and wheels free

of all gasoline, oil, etc.
We do not recommend using a garden

hose to clean lawn mower unless the
electrical system, muffler, air filter and

carburetor are covered to keep water
out. Water in engine can result in short-

ened engine life.

_WARNING: To avoid serious injury,

before performing any service or adjust-
ments:

1. Release control bar and stop engine.

2. Make sure the blade and all moving
parts have completely stopped.

3. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug and place wire where it cannot
come in contact with plug.

ENGINE
Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the

emission control devices and systems, which
are being done at the customers expense,
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.
ENGINE SPEED

Your engine speed has been factory set.

Do not attempt to increase engine speed

or it may result in personal injury. If you
believe that the engine is running too fast

or too slow, take your lawn mower to a

Sears or other qualified service center for
repair and adjustment.

CARBURETOR

Your carburetor is not adjustable. If your

engine does not operate properly due to
suspected carburetor problems, take your

lawn mower to a Sears or other qualified
service center for repair or adjustment.

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 a Sears or other

qualified service center, which has proper

equipment and experience to make any

necessary adjustments.

Immediately prepare your lawn mower for

storage at the end of the season or if the
unit will not be used for 30 days or more.

LAWN MOWER

When lawn 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 lawn mower (See

"CLEANING" in the Maintenance sec-
tion of this manual).

2. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance
section of this manual.

3. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and
pins are securely fastened. Inspect
moving parts for damage, breakage

and wear. Replace if necessary.

4. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint
surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

HANDLE
You can fold your lawn mower handle for

storage.

1. Squeeze the bottom ends of the lower
handle toward each other until the

lower handle clears the handle bracket,

then move handle forward.

2. Loosen upper handle mounting bolts
enough to allow upper handle to be

folded back.

IMPORTANT: When folding the handle for
storage or transportation, be sure to fold

the handle as shown or you may damage
the control cables.

• When setting up your handle from the

storage position, the lower handle will
automatically lock into the mowing posi-

tion.

engine manufacturer's service outlet.

14

FUELSYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel
filter, 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 damage 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

storage 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 carburetor. Do not empty 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

1. Remove spark plug.

2. Pour 29 ml of oil through spark plug
hole into cylinder.

3. Pull starter handle slowly a few times
to distribute oi1.

4. Replace with new spark plug.

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 unit indoors and

cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.

• Cover your unit with a suitable protective

cover that does not retain moisture. Do
not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe,

which allows condensation to form and
will cause your unit to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover mower while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.

_CAUTION: Never store the lawn mower
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.
