TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/

REPLACEMENT

Should your transmission require removal

for service or replacement, it should be

purged after reinstallation and before op- erating the tractor. See "PURGE TRANS- MISSION" in the Operation section of this manual.

TO ADJUST STEERING WHEEL ALIGN- MENT

If steering wheel crossbars are not horizontal (left to right) when wheels are positioned straight forward, remove steer- ing wheel and reassemble with crossbars

horizontal. Tighten securely.

FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN/CAMBER

The front wheel toe-in and camber are not

adjustable on your tractor. If damage has occurred to affect the front wheel toe-in

or camber, contact your nearest Sears or other qualified service center.

TO REMOVE WHEEL FOR REPAIRS

1.Block up axle securely.

2.Remove axle cover, retaining ring and washers to allow wheel removal (rear wheels have a square key - Do not lose).

3.Repair tire and reassemble.

NOTE: On rear wheels only: align

grooves in rear wheel hub and axle. Insert square key.

4.Replace washers and snap retaining ring securely in axle groove.

5.Replace axle cover.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, purchase and use tire sealant from Sears. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.

TO START ENGINE WITH A WEAK BAT- TERY

_,WARNING: Lead-acid batteries gen- erate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from bat- teries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries.

If your battery is too weak to start the 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.

TO ATTACH JUMPER CABLES -

1.Connect one end of the RED cable

to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of each battery(A-B), taking care not to short against tractor chassis.

2.Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal (C) of fully charged battery.

3.Connect the other end of the BLACK

cable (D) to good chassis ground, away from fuel tank and battery.

TO REMOVE CABLES, REVERSE ORDER -

1.BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery.

2.RED cable last from both batteries.
