A LOW BATTERY

If your Battery is too tow to start the engine it should be recharged. If Jumper Cables are used for emergency starting

foilow this procedure: NOTE: YOUR TRACTOR IS EQUIP- PED WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM

THE OTHER VEHICLE MUST ALSO BE A 12 VOLT NEGA- TIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM.

LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EX- PLOSIVE GASES. KEEP SPARKS, FLAME,

AND SMOKING MATERIALS AWAY

FROM BATTERIES, ALWAYS WEAR EYE

PROTECTION AROUND BATTERIES.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Make sure all nuts on bolts are tight and cotter pins are secure. Observe all safety precautions° Keep Tractor well lubricated

(refer to page 8)_

ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE

DIAGNOSTIC TERMINAL BOX

Your Tractor is equipped with a Tractor Diagnostic Terminal

Box which is used to simplify electrical system diagnosis. The

Iocation of the Diagnostic Terminal Box is shown in Fig. 14. The Diagnostic Terminal Box provides access to a number of test points within the electrical system of the tractor.

WHEN USING THE DIAGNOSTIC TER- MINAL BOX - ENGINE TO BE STOPPED AND IGNITION OFF,

USE PROPER EQUIPMENT IN THE

CHECKING OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

THROUGH THE DIAGNOSTIC TERMIN- AL BOX.

The Diagnostic Terminal Box is designed to accept the Diag- nostic Terminal Adapter (optional) (Fig° t5), which is avail-

able from Sears (Part No. 677A823)_ If you order the Adap- ter, also order the Test Procedure Manual (Manual Nor 8441J), showing diagnostic procedures and components of electrical

circuits°

To perform the testing with the Diagnostic Terminal Box, a

quality multimeter or automotive analyzer is required.

FIRST HOURS

1_ CHECK BELT ADJUSTMENT

New Belts may stretch after the first few hours of operation resulting in lossof power. amWith engine running, transmission in neutral, place Vari-

drive Control Lever in "FAST" position (Fig. 11) and check if Secondary Belt (Fig. 16 - Inset) ridesflush with

outside of Variator Sheave (DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON CLUTCH PEDAL).

b, If Secondary Belt is riding down in groove of Variator

Sheave adjustment is required,

2. V-BELT ADJUSTMENT a With engine running, Transmission in "NEUTRAL"

position, move Varidrive Control Lever to full "FAST"

position (Fig. 11)

b. Shut engine off and loosen Adjustment Nut on Bolt "A"

for Variator Stop Plate (Fig. 16).

c, Start engine and run at idle Speed d Slowly move Vafidrive Control Lever (Fig. 11) forward

or backward until Secondary Belt is riding flush to

1/16" outside of Variator Sheave (Fig 16 - Inset).

NOTE: DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON CLUTCH PEDAL.

e., Shut engine off holding Varidrive Control Lever in posi-

tion as described in step d and tighten Adjustment Nut on Bolt "A" (Fig. 16).,

f, Start engine and move Varidrive Control Lever to

SLOW posttlon (F_g. 11). Primary Belt should ride

flush to 1/16" out of Variator Sheave (Fig. 16 - Inset).

g Adjustment is complete when the Secondary Belt rides

in the same position on the Variator Sheave in full "FAST" position, as the Primary Belt does in the

"SLOW" position,

h Re-adjust as needed thereafter

i f Be t cannot be adjusted as described in step g replace

tions with Vasoline.

7_ TIRE CARE

a,, Maintain tire pressure in front at 14 pounds and rear tires

at 10 pounds.

b Keep tlres free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemi-

cals which can destroy rubber,,

c, Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts and other hazards that

may cause tire damage,

d. Removing front wheel for tire repair (Fig= 35),,

-- Block up front axle securely or use a Sears Tractor

Jack.

.- Remove Klip Ring and Washer to allow wheel re-

moval.

.- Repair tire and reassemble. Replace washer and snap

Klip Ring securely in axle groove.
