2, Observe all safety precautions3. Keep tractor well lubricated (refer to paqe 19)
First 2 Hours (Two Mowings)
1. Change Engine Oil
Changing oil after the first two hours (or two mowings) willhelp eliminate breakqn residue which might be damagingto your engine.,NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW DLRTTO ENTERTHE ENGINE WHEN CHANGING OIL.
a, Drain oil with engine warm,,
b., Loosen ofldrainplug (Fig !8) andremovedipstick(F_g, 19).,
c,, Catch oil in a suitable container.,
d.
e,.
NOTE:
L

Refill engine oil (see chart at right), Refill capacitywithout oil filter change is 3-1/2 pints (1.7 litres),With oil filter change (page 18), capacity is 4 pints(19 titres)_DO NOT OVERFILL,
Replace dipstick (Fig. 19) then remove dipstickand read oil level,, Make sure oil level is at the"FULL" mark on dipstick,, Add or remove oil asindicated on dipstick,,

1. Brake Adjustment
This Tractor is equipped with an adjustable brake systemmounted on the right side of the transax/e (Fig.. 20)_
!A IF TRACTOR REQUIRES MORE THAN1.8 METRES (SIX FEET) STOPPING DIS-TANCE IN HIGHEST GEAR, THENBRAKE MUST BE ADJUSTED.
a. Depress clutch/brake pedal and engage parkingbrake._
b. Measure distance between brake operating armand nut "A" on brake rod..
c If distance is other than 3.8 cm (1-1/2"), loosen jamnut (Fig.. 20) and turn nut until distance becomes3..8cm (1- I/2"). Retighten jam nut against nut ",4"
Road test tractor for proper stopping distance as statedabove._ Readjust ff necessary..
2. Tire Care
a. Maintain tire pressure in front at 14 PSI(1 Kg/cnf) and rear tires at 10 PSI (0.7 Kg/cnf)..
b Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect controlchemicals which can harm rubber.
c Avoidstumps, stones, deep rutsandother hazardsthat may cause tire damage.
3 Blade Sharpening
For best results mower blades must be kepl sharp. Theblades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a tile oron a grinding wheel We suggest they be sharpenedafter every 25 hours oi mowing Do not attempt tosharpen while on mower fl you mow in sandy soilcheck the bfades after each two mowings The sandwears lhe blades away rapidly,

There is a grease fitting on each front wheel and axle spindle.Use a grease gun to give each grease fitting two shots ofextreme pressure lubricating grease (available through yourSears Service Center)(Fig 24 [
6. Oil Pivot Points
Place several drops of SAE 30 off at points where metal partsmove against each other, especially:
a Hood hinges..
b_ Shifter shaft points.
SEE LUBRICATION CHART, PAGE 19.
7. Clean Air Screen
Air screen (Fig. 25) must allow free-flow of air to prevent enginedamage from overheating, Clean with a wire brush, compressedai/ orwaterpressure to remove dirt, chaff, stubborn dried gum andfibers._
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHENUSING COMPRESSED AIR.DO NOT TOUCH HOT MUFFLER, CYLIN-DER OR FINS AS CONTACT MAY CAUSEBURNS.
8. Inspect Muffler
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it could create a firehazard and/or damage (Fig 25)
9o Clean Engine Cooling Fins
Remove any dust, dirt or oil from engine cooling fins to preventengine damage from overheating. Air guide covers must be
removed(Fig, 25). Remove bolts to remove side and top covers_See HOOD REMOVAL, page 21.
[ _ DO NOT TOUCH HOT MUFFLER, CYLINDER [OR FINS AS CONTACT MAY CAUSE BURNS_
Every 100 Hours
DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRES TOPREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING BE-FORE MAKING ANY INSPECTION, ADJUST-MENT OR REPAIR (EXCEPT CARBURE-TOR). BE CAREFUL TO AVOID TOUCHINGHOT ENGINE OR MUFFLER COMPONENTS.
1o Replace Spark Plugs
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing season orevery 100 hours, whichever comes first. Gap should be set at0 030" (0. 762 mm). (Fig, 26)..
Z Replace Air Cleaner Paper Cartridge
Refer to page 17o
3o Replace In-Line Fuel Filter
if fuel filter is clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carburetor; replace-ment is required,.
a.. With engine cool, remove filter andplug fuelfine sectionsas removed from both ends of fuel filter (Fig_ 27).
b. Place new fuel filter in position in fuel fine.. Be sure thereare no fuel line leaks and that fuel line is in properposition in hose clamps..
BESURETHERE ARENO FUELLINE LEAKSAND THAT FUEL LINE iS IN PROPER POSI-TION IN HOSE CLAMPS.
4. Change Engine Oil Filter
a_ Drain crankcase of oil (refer to "CHANGE ENGINE OIL,"page 15, through step d)_ Remove old filter (Fig. 19) byturning counterclockwise°
b_ Before installing new filter, apply a thin coating of oil onsurface of the rubber seal
c Install new filter by turning clockwise until rubber sealcontacts the filter adapter, then tighten the filter anadditional 1/2 tum_
do Refill crankcase with engine o# (see page 15 for oilspecifications). Add an additional 1/2 pint (24 litres) oilfor the new filter capacity°
e. Start the engine.. Check for and correct any oil leaks..

a. Connect each end of the RED jumper cable to thePOSITIVE(+) terminals of each battery (taking carenot to short against chassis). (Fig.. 28)
b Connect one endof the BLACK jumper cable to theNEGATIVE (-) terminal of fully charged battery..
c Connectthe other endofthe BLACK jumpercableto the L.H. side panel bolt(Fig, 14) NOTE: KEEPAWAY FROM GAS TANK' AND BATTERY..

3, Carburetor Adjustment
In generat, turning the adjusting needles (Fig_29) in (clock-wise) decreases the supply of fuel to the carburetor_ Thisgives a leaner fuel/air mixture, Turning the adjustingneedles (Fig. 29) out (counterclockwise) increases thesupply of fuel to the carburetor. This gives a richer fuel/airmixture_ Setting the needles midway between the lean andrich positions will usually give the best results,,
Adjust the carburetor as follows;
a.. With the en_Tinestopped, turn the idle fuel adjust-ing needle m (clockwise) until it bottoms lightly.,NOTE: The tip of the idle fuel and main fueladjusting needles are tapered to critical dimen-sions_ Damage to the needles and the seats incarburetorbody will result ff the needles are forced
b Preliminary settings.: Turn the adjusting needlesout (counterclockwise) from lightlybottomed_ .Turnthe idle 1-1/4 turns, turn the matn i turn.
c,. StartttTeengineandrunathalfthrottleforfivetotenminutes to warm up.. The engine must be warmbefore making final settings (Steps d, e, f, and g),.
