L GENERAL OPERATION

* Read, understand, and follow all instruc-tions in the manual and on the machine

before starting.Only allow responsible adults, who arefamiliar with the instructions, to operatethe machine.

, Clear the area of objects such as rocks,toys, wire, etc., which could be pickedup and thrown by the blade.Be sure the area is clear of other peoplebefore mowing. Stop machine if anyoneenters the area.

, Never carry passengers., Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely necessary. Always look down andbehind before and while backing.

Be aware of the mower discharge direc-tion and do not point it at anyone. Donot operate the mower without eitherthe entire grass catcher or the guard inplace.Slow down before turning.Never leave a running machine unat-tended. Always turn off blades, setparking brake, stop engine, and removekeys before dismounting.Turn off blades when not mowing.Stop engine before removing grasscatcher or unclogging chute.Mow only in daylight or good artificiallight.Do not operate the machine while underthe influence of alcohol or drugs.Watch for traffic when operating near orcrossing roadways.Use extra care when loading or un-loading the machine into a trailer ortruck.

Data indicates that operators, age 60years and above, are involved in a largepercentage of riding mower-related in-juries. These operators should evaluatetheir ability to operate the riding mowersafely enough to protect themselves andothers from serious injury.Keep machine free of grass, leaves orother debris build-up which can touchhot exhaust / engine parts and burn. Donot allow the mower deck to plow leavesor other debris which can cause build-

up to occur. Clean any oil or fuelspillage before operating or storing themachine. Allow machine to cool before

storage.

H. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which canresult in severe injury or death. All slopesrequire extra caution. If you cannot backup the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, donot mow it.

3

DO:

Mow up and down slopes, not across.Remove obstacles such as rocks, treelimbs, etc.Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Un-even terrain could overturn the machine.

Taft grass can hide obstacles.Use slow speed. Choose a low gearso that you will not have to stop or shiftwhile on the slope.Follow the manufacturer's recommend-ations for wheel weights or counter-weights to improve stability.Use extra care with grass catchers orother attachments. These can changethe stability of the machine.Keep all movement on the slopes slowand gradual Do not make suddenchanges in speed or direction.Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. Iftires lose traction, disengage the bladesand proceed slowly straight down theslope.

DO NOT:

o Do not turn on slopes unless neces-sary, and then, turn slowly and graduallydownhill, if possible.Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches,or embankments. The mower could

suddenly turn over if a wheel is overthe edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edgecaves in.

Do not mow on wet grass. Reducedtraction could cause sliding.Do not try to stabilize the machine byputting your foot on the ground.Do not use grass catcher on steepslopes.

ill. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operatoris 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 youlast saw them.

Keep children out of the mowing areaand under the watchful care of anotherresponsible adult.Be alert and turn machine off if childrenenter the area.

Before and when backing, look behindand down for small children.

Never carry children. They may fall offand be seriously injured or interfere withsafe machine operation.Never allow children to operate themachine.Use extra care when approaching blindcorners, shrubs, trees, or other objectsthat may obscure vision.

iV, SERVICE

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTmNG HEmGHT

The cutting height is controlled by turn-ing the height adjustment knob in desireddirection.

,, Turn knob clockwise (f_) to raise cut-ting height.

,, Turn knob counterclockwise (_) tolower cutting height.

The cutting height range is approximately1-1/2" to 4-1/2". The heights are mea-sured from the ground to the blade tip withthe engine not running.These heights are approximate and mayvary depending upon soil conditions,height of grass and types of grass beingmowed.

,, The average lawn should be cut toapproximately 2-1/2 inches during thecool season and to over 3 inches duringhot months. For healthier and betterlooking lawns, mow often and aftermoderate growth.

,, For best cutting performance, grass over6 inches in height should be mowedtwice. Make the first cut relatively high;the second to desired height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS

Gauge wheels are properly adjustedwhen they are slightly off the ground whenmower is at the desired cutting height inoperating position. Gauge wheels thenkeep the deck in proper position to helpprevent scalping in most terrain conditions.NOTE: Be sure tractor is on a flat levelsurface.1. Lower mower and adjust mower to

desired cutting height.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 holesin bracket and gauge wheel bar andinsert clevis pin. Gauge wheels shouldbe slightly off the ground.

4. Replace retainer spring into clevis pin.5. Be sure all gauge wheels are in the

same setting.mMPORTANT: Be sure to readjust gaugewheels if you change the cutting heightof the mower deck.

TOWmNG CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH=MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recom-mended by and comply with specificationsof the manufacturer of your tractor. Usecommon sense when towing. Too heawof a load, while on a slope, is dangerous.Tires can lose traction with the ground andcause you to lose control of your tractor.

BEFORE STARTmNG THE ENGmNE

CHECK ENGmNE OraL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has beenshipped, from the factory, already filledwith summer weight oil.1. Check engine oil with tractor on level

ground.2. Unthread and remove oil fill cap/

dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert thedipstick into the tube and rest oil fillcap on the tube. Do not thread the caponto the tube. Remove and read oil

level. If necessary, add oil until "FULE'mark on dipstick is reached. Do notoverfill.

* For cold weather operation you shouldchange oil for easier starting (See theoil viscosity chart in the Maintenancesection of this manual).To change engine oil, see the Mainte-nance section in this manual.

ADD GASOUNE

* Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Donot overfill. Use fresh, clean, regularunleaded gasoline with a minimum of87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline willincrease carbon and lead oxide depositsand reduce valve life). Do not mix oilwith gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan-tities that can be used within 30 days toassure fuel freshness.

_CAUTmON: Wipe off any spilled oil orfuel. Do not store, spill or use gasolinenear an open flame.mMPORTANT: When operating in temper-atures below32°F(0°C), use fresh, cleanwinter grade gasoline to help insure goodcold weather starting.CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (calledgasohol or using ethanol or methanol) canattract moisture which leads to separa-tion and formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas can damage the fuel systemof an engine while in storage. To avoidengine problems, the fuel system shouldbe emptied before storage of 30 daysor longer. Drain the gas tank, start theengine and let it run until the fuel linesand carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuelnext season. See Storage Instructions foradditional information. Never use engineor carburetor cleaner products in the fueltank or permanent damage may occur.

7. When engine starts, slowly push chokecontrol in until the engine begins torun smoothly. If the engine starts torun roughly, pull the choke control outslightly for a few seconds and thencontinue to push the control in slowly.

The attachments and ground drive cannow be used. If the engine does notaccept the load, restart the engine andallow it to warm up for one minute usingthe choke as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F andbelow)

7. When engine starts, slowly push chokecontrol in until the engine begins to runsmoothly. Continue to push the chokecontrol in small steps allowing the en-gine to accept small changes in speedand load, until the choke control is fullyin. If the engine starts to run roughly,pull the choke control out slightly for afew seconds and then continue to pushthe control in slowly. This may requirean engine warm-up period from severalseconds to several minutes, dependingon the temperature.

NOTE: In extreme cold conditions, ifengine will not start you may need to dis-engage the motion drive belt as follows:1. Be sure parking brake is engaged.2. Remove retainer spring from the drive

belt tension handle to relieve belt ten-sion.

3. Start engine and allow it to warm up forthree (3) minutes.

4. Shut-off engine and engage parkingbrake.

5. Engage drive belt tension handle andreplace the retainer spring.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

Before driving the unit in cold weather,the transmission should be warmed up asfollows:

1. Be sure the tractor is on level ground.2. Place the motion control lever in

neutral. Release the parking brake andlet the brake slowly return to operatingposition.

3. Allow one minute for transmission to

warm up. This can be done during theengine warm up period.

The attachments can be used duringthe engine warm-up period after thetransmission has been warmed up andmay require the choke control be pulledout slightly.

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32 F)the carburetor fuel mixture may need tobe adjusted for best engine performance(see "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in theService and Adjustments section of thismanual).

PURGE TRANSMISSION

_I, CAUTION: Never engage or dis=engage freewheel lever while the engineis running.To ensure proper operation and per-formance, it is recommended that thetransmission be purged before operatingtractor for the first time. This procedure willremove any trapped air inside the trans-mission which may have developed duringshipping of your tractor.IMPORTANT: Should your transmissionrequire 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 plac-

ing freewheel control in disengagedposition (See "TO TRANSPORT" in thissection of manual).

14

3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.After the engine is running, movethrottle control to slow position. Disen-gage parking brake.

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 nomovement of drive wheels. The air is beingremoved from hydraulic drive system.5. Move motion control lever to neutral

(N) position. Shutoff engine and setparking 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, movethrottle control to half (1/2) speed.Disengage parking brake.

8. Slowly move motion control lever for-ward, after the tractor moves approxi-mately five (5) feet, slowly move motioncontrol lever to reverse position. Afterthe tractor moves approximately five(5) feet return the motion control leverto the neutral (N) position. Repeat thisprocedure with the motion control leverthree (3) times.

Your transmission is now purged and nowready for normal operation.

MOWING TiPS

Tire chains cannot be used when the

mower housing is attached to tractor.Mower should be properly leveled forbest mowing performance. See "TOLEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustments section of thismanual.The left hand side of mower should be

used for trimming.Drive so that clippings are dischargedonto the area that has already beencut. Have the cut area to the right ofthe tractor. This will result in a more

even distribution of clippings and moreuniform cutting.When mowing large areas, start byturning to the right so that clippings willdischarge away from shrubs, fences,driveways, etc. After one or two rounds,mow in the opposite direction makingleft hand turns until finished.

( J,c J

If grass is extremely tail, it should bemowed twice to reduce load and pos-sible fire hazard from dried clippings.Make first cut relatively high; the secondto the desired height.Do not mow grass when it is wet.Wet grass will plug mower and leaveundesirable clumps. Allow grass to drybefore mowing.Always operate engine at full throttlewhen mowing to assure better mow-ing performance and proper dischargeof material. Regulate ground speed byselecting a low enough gear to give themower cutting performance as well asthe quality of cut desired.

, When operating attachments, select aground speed that will suit the terrainand give best performance of the at-tachment being used.

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharp-ening blade - but if you do, be sure theblade is balanced.Care should be taken to keep the bladebalanced. An unbalanced blade will causeexcessive vibration and eventual damageto mower and engine.

The blade can be sharpened with a fileor on a grinding wheel. Do not attemptto sharpen while on the mower.To check blade balance, you will need a5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a conebalancer. (When using a cone balancer,follow the instructions supplied withbalancer.)

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancingblade. The lobes of the center hole mayappear to be centered, but are not.

Slide blade on to an unthreaded portionof the steel bolt or pin and hold thebolt or pin parallel with the ground. Ifblade is balanced, it should remain in ahorizontal position. If either end of theblade moves downward, sharpen theheavy end until the blade is balanced.

5/8" Bolt

TO ADJUST CHOKE CONTROL

The choke control has been preset at thefactory and adjustment should not be nec-essary, check adjustment as described be-low before loosening cable. If adjustmentis necessary, proceed as follows:1. With engine not running, move choke

control (located on dash panel) to fullchoke position.

2. Remove air cleaner cover, filter andcartridge plate to expose carburetorchoke (See "AIR FILTER" in the Main-tenance section of this manual).

3. Choke should be closed. If it is not,loosen casing clamp screw and movechoke cable until choke is completelyclosed. Tighten casing clamp screwsecurely.

4. Reassemble air cleaner.

Closed for FullChoke

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been present at thefactory and adjustment should not be nec-essary. However, minor adjustment maybe required to compensate for differencesin fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If thecarburetor does need adjustment, proceedas follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needlesin (clockwise) decreases the supply offuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/airmixture. Turning the adjusting needles out(counterclockwise) increases the supplyof fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/airmixture.

mlVIPORTANT: Damage to the needlesand the seats in carburetor may result ifscrew is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

1. Be sure you have a clean air filter, andthe throttle control cable is adjustedproperly (see "TO ADJUST THROTTLECONTROL CABLE" in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual).

, With engine off turn idle fuel adjust-ing needle in (clockwise) closing itfinger tight and then turn out (counter-clockwise) 1 turn.

FINAL SETTING -

1. Start engine and allow to warm for fiveminutes. Make final adjustments withengine running and shift/motion controllever in neutral (N) position.

NOTE: The high idle is set at the factoryand cannot be adjusted.2. Idle speed setting - With throttle control

lever in slow position, engine shouldidle at 1200 RPM. If engine idles tooslow or fast, turn idle speed adjustingscrew in or out until correct idle is at-tained.

3. Idle fuel needle setting - With throttlecontrol lever in slow position, turn idlefuel adjusting needle in (clockwise)until engine speed decreases and thenturn out (counterclockwise) approxi-mately 3/4 turn to obtain the best lowspeed performance.

4. Recheck idle speed. Readjust if neces-sary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

5. Move throttle control lever from slow

to fast position. If engine hesitates ordies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle out(counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeattest and continue to adjust, if neces-sary, until engine accelerates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Donot adjust-damage may result.mlVIPORTANT: Never tamper with theengine governor, which is factory setfor proper engine speed. Overspeedingthe engine above the factory high speedsetting can be dangerous. If you think theengine-governed high speed needs ad-justing, contact a Sears or other qualifiedservice center, which has proper equip-ment and experience to make any neces-sary adjustments.

28

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.

WARNmNG: Never store the tractor

with gasoline in the tank inside a buildingwhere fumes may reach an open flameor spark. Allow the engine to cool beforestoring in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winterstorage. When mower is to be stored for aperiod of time, clean it thoroughly, removeaU dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in aclean, 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 inthe Service and Adjustments section ofthis manual).

3. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenancesection of this manual.

4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screwsare securely fastened. Inspect movingparts for damage, breakage and wear.Replace if necessary.

5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paintsurfaces; sand lightly before painting.

Fully charge the battery for storage.After a period of time in storage, batterymay require recharging.To help prevent corrosion and powerleakage during long periods of storage,battery cables should be disconnectedand battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TOCLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS" in

the Maintenance section of this manual).After cleaning, leave cables discon-nected and place cables where theycannot come in contact with batteryterminals.

If battery is removed from tractor forstorage, do not store battery directly onconcrete or damp surfaces.

FUEL SYSTEM

I_PORTANT: It is important to preventgum deposkes from forming in essentialfuel system parts such as carburetor, fuelhose, or tank during storage. Also, exper)-

ance indicates that alcohol blended fuels

(called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-nol) can attract moisture which leads toseparation and formation of acids duringstorage. Acidic gas can damage the fuelsystem of an engine while in storage.1. Drain the fuel tank.

2. Start the engine and let it run until thefuel lines and carburetor are empty.

Never use engine or carburetor cleanerproducts in the fuel tank or permanentdamage may occur.Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptablealternative in minimizing the formation offuel gum deposits during storage. Addstabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor-age container. Always follow the mix ratiofound on stabilizer container. Run engineat least 10 minutes after adding stabilizerto allow the stabilizer to reach the car-

buretor. Do not drain the gas tank andcarburetor if using fuel stabilizer.ENG(NE O(L

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replacewith clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" inthe Maintenance section of this manual).

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 seasonto another.

,, Replace your gasoline can if your canstarts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in yourgasoline will cause problems.If possible, store your tractor indoorsand cover it to give protection from dustand dirt.

Cover your tractor with a suitable pro-tective cover that does not retain mois-

ture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannotbreathe which allows condensation to

form and will cause your tractor to rust.(IVIPORTANT: Never cover tractor while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
