BATTERY
Your tractor has a battery charging system
which is sufficient for normal use. However,
periodic charging of the battery with an au-
tomotive charger will extend its life.
• Keep battery
and terminals
clean.
Keep battery
bolts tight.
Keep small vent holes open.
• Recharge
at 6-10 amperes
for 1 hour.
NOTE:
The original
equipment
battery
on
your tractor
is maintenance
free.
Do not
attempt to open or remove caps or covers.
Adding
or checking
level of electrolyte
is
not necessary.
TO CLEAN
BATTERY
AND TERMINALS
Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals
can cause the battery to "leak" power.
1. Disconnect
BLACK
battery
cable
first
then
RED
battery
cable
and remove
battery from tractor.
2. Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.
3. Clean terminals
and battery cable ends
with wire brush until bright.
4. Coat terminals
with grease or petroleum
jelly.
5.
Reinstall

(See
"REPLACING

in the SERVICE
AND AD-
JUSTMENTS
section
of this manual).
TRANSAXLE
COOLING
The transmission fan and cooling fins should
be kept clean to ensure proper cooling.
Do not attempt to clean fan or transmission
while engine
is running or while the trans-
mission is hot. To prevent possible damage
to seals, do not use high pressure water or
steam to clean transaxle.
• Inspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades
are intact and clean.
• Inspectcoolingfinsfordirt,
grass clippings
and other materials.
To prevent damage to
seals, do not use compressed
air or high
pressure
sprayer to clean cooling fins.
TRANSAXLE
PUMP
FLUID
The transaxle
was sealed at the factory and
fluid maintenance
is not required
for the life
of the transaxle.
Should the transaxle
ever
leak or require servicing, contact your nearest
Sears or other qualified
service
center.
V-BELTS
Check V-belts for deterioration
and wear after
100 hours of operation
and replace if neces-
sary. The belts are not adjustable.
Replace
belts if they begin to slip from wear.
ENGINE
LUBRICATION
Only use high quality detergent
oil rated with
API service classification
SG-SL.
Select the
oil's SAE viscosity
grade according
to your
expected
operating
temperature.
18
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30,
10W30 etc.) improvestartingin coldweather,
they will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32°1-, Check your engine
oil level more frequently to avoid possible
enginedamage from running low on oil.
Change the oil after every 50 hours of opera-
tion or at least once a year if the tractor is
not used for 50 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting
the engine and after each eight (8) hours of
operation. Tighten oil fill cap/dipstick se-
curely each time you check the oil level.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Determine
temperature
range expected
before oil change. All oil must meet API
service classificationSG-SL.
• Be sure tractor
is on level surface.
• Oil will drain more freely when warm,
• Catch oil in a suitable container.
1. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick.
Be careful
not to allow dirt to enter the engine when
changing oil.
2. Slide oildrain extensionfrom the docking
position on the engine blower housing
and extend outward from engine.

After oil is drained
completely, replace
cap and twist clockwise
until it stops.
5.
Re-attach
oil drain extension
to engine
blower housing.
6.
Refill engine with oil through oil fill dipstick
tube. Pour slowly. Do not overfill. For ap-
proximate
capacity see "PRODUCT
SP-
ECIFICATIONS"
section of this manual.
7.
Use gauge
on oil fill cap/dipstick
for
checking
level.
For accurate
reading,
tighten
dipstick
cap securely
onto the
tube before removing
dipstick.
Keep oil
at "FULE' line on dipstick.
Tighten
cap
onto the tube securely
when finished.
