FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. GENERAL Jq OPERATION Ill. Read, understand, and follow all instructionsin the manual and on the machine before starting. Only allow responsible adults, \':_o 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 absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while backing. Be aware of the mower discharge directionand 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 unattended. 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. Keep children out Ofthe mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult. Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area, Before _.nd 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 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 unloading the machine into a trailer or truck. 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 cannotback up the slope or ifyou feel uneasy on it, do not mow it. DO: • • • • CHILDREN Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Neverassume that children will remain where you last saw them. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Remove obstacles such as recks, tree limbs, etc. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Use slow speed. Choose a tow gear sothat youwill nothave to stop or shift while on the slope. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability. Usa 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. • • 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 equipment in good condition. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris buUd-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool before storing. Stop and inspect the equipment if you stdke 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 w_ar gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them. Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required. I DO NOT: Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, 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. Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means CAUTION!I! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED. CAUTION: Always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it cannot contact spark plug in order to prevent accidental startin_ when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs. 2 CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a Sears Tractor.

The heights are measured 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 shouldbe 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. To stop ground drive, depress clutch/brake pedal into full BRAKE position. • Move gearshift lever to neutral (N) position. ENGINE • Move throttle control to slow position. NOTE: Failure to move throttle control to slow position and allowing engine to idle before stopping may cause engine to "backfire". • Turn ignition key to "OFF" position and remove key. Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized use. • Never use choke to stop engine. Press plunger with thumb and move lever to desired position. • 11 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, OPERATION TO OPERATE MOWER TO TRANSPORT (See Fig. 7) Your tractor isequipped with an operator presence sensing switch. Any attempt by the operator to leave the seat with the engine runningand the attachment clutchengaged will shut off the engine. • • Select desired height of cut. Start mower blades by engaging attachment clutch control. TO STOP MOWER BLADES - disengage attachment clutch control. • • Raise atts,chment lift to highest position with attachment lift control. • When pushing or towing yourtractor, be sure geamhitt 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 yourtractoron atruckoratrailer, be sure hood isclosed and secured totractor. Use an appropriate means oftying hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.). BEFOR'E STARTING THE ENGINE without either the entire grass catcher, CAUTION: operate or thethe mower on mowers Do so not equipped, discharge guard in place. ATTACHMENTCLUTCHLEVER "DISENGAGED"POSmON "ENGAGED" POSITION CHECK ENGINE'OIL ATTACHMENT LIFT LEVER HIGH POSITION LEVEL (See Fig. 12) • The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the factory, already filled with summer weight oil. • Check engine oilwith tractor on level ground. • Remove oil fillcap/dipstickand wipe clean, reinsertthe dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds, 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 Customer Responsibilities section of this manual). • To change engine oil, see the Customer Responsibilities section in this manual. ADD GASOLINE • Fill fuel tank. 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 quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fue_freshness. IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE AtsrOL NE TL_ HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING. DISCHARGE FIG. 7 TO OPERATE I WARNING: Experience indicates that 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. 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. ON HILLS | hills with slopes greater than 15° and CAUTION: not drive up or down do not drive Do across any slope. I | Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down hills. • • Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills. If slowing is necessary, move throttle control lever to slower position. If stopping is absolutely necessary, push clutch/brake pedal quickly to brake position and engage parking brake, ° Move gearshift lever to 1st gear. Be sure you have allowed room for tractor to roll slightly as you restart movement. • To restart movement, slowly release parking brake and clutch/brake pedal. Make all turns slowly. IAC, to TO. o"o I filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame. 12 OPERATION TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 6) MOWING TIPS 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. • • Sit on seat in operating position, depress clutch/brake pedal and set parking brake. • • Place gear shift lever in neutral (N) position. Move attachment clutch to =DISENGAGED" position. • Move throttle control to choke position. Mower should be propedy 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 been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the machine. This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting. NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting procedures below. • Insertkeymtolgnltionandtumkeyclockwlseto"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, move throttle controlto fast position, wait a few minutes and try again. If engine still does not start, move the throttle control back to the choke position and retry. When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one ortwo rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left hand turns until finished (See Fig. 8). If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dded clippings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height. WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and above) • • Tire cha,ins cannot be used when the mower housing is attached to tractor. When engine starts, move the throttle controltothe fast position. The attachments and ground drive can 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. 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. COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50 ° F and below) • When engine starts, allow engineto run with the throttle control in the choke position until the engine runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast position. This may require an engine warm-up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature. • The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period. 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. When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used.

(See "TO ADJUST BRAKE" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). FLAT WASHEF LOCK WASHER TIRES • Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 3 of this manual). • Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect controlchemicals which can harm rubber. • Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and other hazards that may cause tire damage. _-,, *A GRADE 8 HEAT TREATED BOLT CAN BE IDENTIRED BY SIX LINES ON THE BOLT HEAD FIG. 9 TO SHARPEN 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 • The engine shouTdnot start unless the clutch/brake pedal is fully depressed and attachement clutch control is in the disengaged position. When the engine is running,anyattempt bythe 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 attempt by the operator to leave the seat should shut off the engine. • The attachment clutch should never operate unless the operator is in the seat. BLADE (See Fig. X2) Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and eventual damage to mower and engine. SYSTEM • BLADE NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade - but ifyou do, be sure the blade is balanced. Be sure operator presence and interlock systems are working properly. If your tractor does not function as described, repair the problem immediately, • HEX BOLT (GRADE 8)* • 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.

Move throttlecontrol lever to slow position.With finger, rotate and hold throttle lever against idle speed screw. Turn idle speed screw to attain 1750 RPM. While still holding throttle lever against idle speed screw, turn idle mixture valve full travel clockwisethen counterclockwise until engine runs rough. Turn valve to a point midway between those two positions. Release throttle lever. CABLE IDLE SPEED TN.OTTLE (See Fig. 27) LEVER NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap, which allows some adjustment within the limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt to remove the limitercap. The limiter cap cannot be removed without breaking the adjusting needle. The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. 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 idle mixture valve in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine givinga leaner fuel/ air mixture. Turning the idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture. IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLE VALVE AND THE SEAT IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS TURNED IN TOO TIGHT. PRELIMINARY SETTING • Aircleaner assembly mustbe assembled tothe carburetor when making carburetor adjustments. Be sure the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see above). i UMgE_ FIG. 27 22 STORAGE ENGINE Immediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end of the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days or more.
