II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss ofcontrol and tip-over accidents, which canresult in severe injury or death. Opera-tion on all slopes requires extra caution. Ifyou cannot back up the slope or if you feeluneasy on it, do not mow it.• Mow up and down slopes, not across.• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or
other hidden objects. Uneven terraincould overturn the machine. Tall grasscan hide obstacles.
• Choose a low ground speed so thatyou will not have to stop or shift whileon the slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires maylose traction.Always keep the machine in gear whengoing down slopes. Do not shift toneutral and coast downhill.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning ona slope. If the tires lose traction, dis-engage the blades and proceed slowlystraight down the slope.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slowand gradual. Do not make suddenchanges in speed or direction, whichcould cause the machine to roll over.
• Use extra care while operating ma-chine with grass catchers or other at-tachments; they can affect the stabilityof the machine. Do no use on steepslopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine byputting your foot on the ground.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches,or embankments. The machine couldsuddenly roll over if a wheel is over theedge or if the edge caves in.
III, CHILDREN

BEFORE STARTINGTHE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL 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. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe
clean, reinsert the dipstick and screwcap tight, wait for a few seconds, re-move and read oil level. If necessary,add oil until "FULU' mark on dipstick isreached. Do not overfill.
• 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 GASOLINE• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck.
Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regularunleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will in-crease carbon and lead oxide depositsand reduce valve life). Do not mix oilwith gasoline, Purchase fuel in quanti-ties that can be used within 30 days toassure fuel freshness.
_CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil orfuel. Do not store, spill or use gasolinenear an open flame.IMPORTANT: When operating in tempera-tures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, cleanwinter grade gasoline to help insure goodcold weather starting.
NOTE: To protect hood from damage whentransporting your tractor on a truck or atrailer, be sure hood is closed and securedto tractor. Use an appropriate means oftying hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).

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 system ofan engine while in storage.To avoid engine problems, the fuel systemshould be emptied before storage of 30days or longer. Drain the gas tank, startthe engine and let it run until the fuel linesand carburetor are empty.Use fresh fuel next season. See StorageInstructions for additional information.Never use engine or carburetor cleanerproducts in the fuel tank or permanentdamage may occur.
TO START ENGINE
When starting the engine for the first timeor if the engine has run out of fuel, it willtake extra cranking time to move fuel fromthe tank to the engine.1. Be sure freewheel control is in the
transmission engaged position.2. Sit on seat in operating position,
depress clutch/brake pedal and setparking brake.
3. Place motion control lever in neutral(N) position.
4. Move attachment clutch to disengagedposition.
5. Move throttle control to choke position.NOTE: Before starting, read the warmand cold starting procedures below.6. Insert key into ignition and turn key
clockwise to start position and releasekey as soon as engine starts. Donot run starter continuously for morethan fifteen seconds per minute. If theengine does not start after severalattempts, move throttle control to fastposition, wait a few minutes and tryagain. If engine still does not start,move the throttle control back to thechoke position and retry.
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F andabove)
7. When engine starts, move the throttlecontrol to the fast position.
• 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, allow engine
to run with the throttle control in thechoke position until the engine runsroughly, then move throttle controlto fast position. This may require anengine warm-up period from severalseconds to several minutes, dependingon the temperature.
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 brakeand let the clutch/brake slowly returnto operating position.
3. Allow one minute for transmission towarm up.This can be done duringthe engine warm up period.
• The attachments can also be used dur-ing the engine warm-up period after thetransmission has been warmed up.
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.)
PURGETRANSMISSION_CAUTION: Never engage or dis-engage freewheel lever while the engine isrunning.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 replacement,it should be purged after reinstallationbefore operating the tractor.1. Place tractor safely on level surface
with engine off and parking brake set.2. Disengage transmission by placing
freewheel control in disengaged posi-tion (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. Withmotion control lever in neutral (N)position, slowly disengage clutch/brakepedal.
4. Move motion control lever to full for-ward position and hold for five (5) sec-onds. Move lever to full reverse positionand hold for five (5) seconds. Repeatthis 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 set parkingbrake.
6. Engage transmission by placing free-wheel control in engaged position (See"TO TRANSPORT" in this section ofmanual).
7. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.After the engine is running, movethrottle control to half (1/2) speed.With motion control lever in neutral (N)position, slowly disengage clutch/brakepedal.
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
• Mower should be properly leveled forbest mowing performance. See 'TOLEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in theService and Adjustments section of thismanual.
• The left hand side of mower should beused for trimming.
• Drive so that clippings are dischargedonto the area that has already been cut.Have the cut area to the right of the trac-tor. This will result in a more even distri-bution of clippings and more uniformcutting.
• 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.
J00272
• If grass is extremely tall, 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. Wetgrass will plug mower and leave undesir-able clumps. Allow grass to dry beforemowing.
• 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 ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROLCABLE
The throttle control has been preset at thefactory and adjustment should not be nec-essary. Check adjustment as describedbelow before loosening cable. If adjust-ment is necessary, proceed as follows:1. With engine not running, move throttle
control lever from slow to choke posi-tion. Slowly move lever from choke tofast position.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
NOTE: The carburetor on this engine islow emission. It is equipped with an idlefuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap,which allows some adjustment within thelimits allowed by the cap. Do not attemptto remove the limiter cap. The limiter capcannot be removed without breaking theadjusting needle.The carburetor has been preset 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: 26
In general, turning idle mixture valve in(clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel tothe engine giving a leaner fuel/air mix-ture. Turning the idle mixture valve out(counterclockwise) increases the supplyof fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/airmixture.IMPORTANT: Damage to the needlevalve and the seat in carburetor may resultif screw is turned in too tight.
PRELIMINARY SE'rrlNG -1. Air cleaner assembly must be assem-
bled to the carburetor when makingcarburetor adjustments.
2. Be sure the throttle control cable isadjusted properly (see above).
FINAL SETTING -
1. Start engine and allow to warm for fiveminutes. Make final adjustments withengine running and shift/motion controllever in neutral (N) position.
2. Move throttle control lever to slow posi-tion. With finger, rotate and hold throttlelever against idle speed screw. Turnidle speed screw to attain 1750 RPM.
3. While still holding throttle lever againstidle speed screw, turn idle mixturevalve full travel clockwise then coun-terclockwise until engine runs rough.Turn valve to a point midway betweenthose two positions. Release throttlelever.
ACCELERATION TEST -4. Move throttle control lever from slow
to fast position, if engine hesitates ordies, turn idle mixture valve out (coun-terclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test andcontinue to adjust, if necessary, untilengine accelerates smoothly.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Donot adjust - damage may result.IMPORTANT: Never tamper with theengine governor, which is factory setfor proper engine speed. Overspeed-ing the engine above the factory highspeed setting can be dangerous. If youthink the engine-governed high speedneeds adjusting, contact a Sears or otherqualified service center, which has properequipment and experience to make anynecessary adjustments.

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._IIWARNING: Never store the tractorwith gasoline in the tank inside a buildingwhere fumes may reach an open flameor spark. Allow the engine to cool beforestoring in any enclosure.
TRACTORRemove mower from tractor for winterstorage. When mower is to be stored for aperiod of time, clean it thoroughly, removeall dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in aclean, dry area.1. Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING"
in the Maintenance section of thismanual).
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.
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 disconnectedand battery cleaned thoroughly (see 'q'OCLEAN BA-I-I'ERY AND TERMINALS" inthe 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.
ENGINEFUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to preventgum deposits from forming in essentialfuel system parts such as carburetor, fuelhose, or tank during storage.
Also, alcohol blended fuels (called gasoholor using ethanol or methanol) can attractmoisture which leads to separation andformation of acids during storage. Acidicgas can damage the fuel system of anengine while in storage.• Empty the fuel tank by starting the en-
gine and letting it run until the fuel linesand 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 empty the gas tank andcarburetor if using fuel stabilizer.ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replacewith clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" inthe 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 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 tofo?m and will cause your tractor to rust.
IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor whileengine and exhaust areas are still warm.
