If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest speed in highest gear on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, then brake must be serviced.

You may also check brake by:

1.Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, depress brake pedal

all the way down and engage parking brake.

2.Disengage transmission by placing

freewheel control in "transmission dis-

engaged" position. Pull freewheel con- trol out and into the slot and release so

it is held in the disengaged position. The rear wheels must lock and skid

when you try to manually push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then the brake needs to be serviced. Contact a Sears or other qualified service center.

FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN/CAMBER

Your new tractor front wheel toe-in and

camber is set at the factory and is normal. The front wheel toe-in and camber are

not adjustable. If damage has occurred to affect the factory set front wheel toe-in or

camber, contact a Sears or other qualified service center.

teries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries.

engine, it should be recharged. (See "BAT- TERY" in the MAINTENANCE section of

this manual).

If "jumper cables" are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure: IMPORTANT: Your tractor is equipped with a 12 volt system. The other vehicle must also be a 12 volt system. Do not use your tractor battery to start other vehicles.
