La operación de cualquier tractor puede hacer que salten objetos extraños dentro de sus ojos, lo que puede producir daños graves en éstos. Siempre use anteojos de seguridad o protecciones para los ojos mientras opere su tractor o cuando haga ajustes o reparaciones. Recomendamos gafas de seguridad o una máscara de visión amplia de seguridad usada sobre las gafas.

TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and termi- nals can cause the battery to “leak” power.

1.

Remove terminal guard.

2.

Disconnect BLACK battery cable first

 

then RED battery cable and remove

Change the oil after every 50 hours of op- eration or at least once a year if the tractor is not used for 50 hours in one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before start- ing the engine and after each eight (8) hours of operation.

COMO USAR SU TRACTOR

PARA AJUSTAR EL FRENO DE ESTACIONA- MIENTO

Su tractor viene equipado con un interruptor sen- sor que exige la presencia del operador. Cuando el motor está funcionando, si el operador trata de bajarse del asiento sin primero aplicar el freno de estacionamiento, se apagará el motor.

1.Presione el pedal (B) del freno completa- mente y sostengalo.

2.Jale hacia arriba la palanca del freno de mano (C) y manténgala en esa posición; suelte gradualmente el pedal del embrague/ freno (B), y luego suelte la palanca del freno de mano. El pedal tiene que quedar en la posición de freno. Asegúrese que el freno de estacionamiento va a sujetar el tractor en forma segura.

PARADA

CUCHILLAS DE LA SEGADORA -

Mueva el interruptor del embrague del accesorio a la posición desenganchado ().

( ) “Enganchado” ( ) “Desenganchado”

(Engaged)(Disengaged)

IMPULSIÓN DE RECORRIDO -

Para parar el mecanismo impulsor, presione el pedal del freno completamente.

IMPORTANTE: Los pedales de marcha adelante y atrás vuelven a la posición neutra cuando no están apretados.

MOTOR -

Mover la palanca (D) de mando entre la pos- ición de velocidad media y máxima (rápida).

AVISO:Si no se mueve la palanca de mando entre la posición de velocidad media y máxima (rápida), antes de pararse, se puede causar un “retorno de llama” del motor.

Gire la llave de ignición (F) a la posición de apagado “STOP” y remueva la llave al abandonar el tractor para evitar el uso no autorizado.

Nunca use la estrangulación (N) para parar el motor.

IMPORTANTE: Dejando el interruptor de la ignición en cualquier posición otra que “STOP” causar i que la batería se descargue (muerta).

AVISO: Bajo ciertas condiciones, cuando el trac- tor está parado con el motor andando en vacío, los gases de escape del motor caliente pueden hacer que el césped se ponga “café.” Para eliminar esta posibilidad, siempre pare el motor cuando pare el tractor en áreas con césped.

PRECAUCIÓN: Siempre pare el tractor com- pletamente, según se ha descrito anteriormente, antes de abandonar la posición del operador.

PARA USAR EL CONTROL DE LA ACELER- ACIÓN (D)

Siempre opere el motor a una aceleración completa.

Si el motor funciona a una velocidad inferior a la máxima (rápida), su rendimiento disminuye.

El rendimiento óptimo se obtiene a la velocidad máxima (rápida).

TRANSAXLE MAINTENANCE

The transmission fan and cooling fins should be kept clean to assure proper cooling. Do not attempt to clean fan or transmission while engine is running or while the transmission 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.

Inspect cooling fins for dirt, 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 near- est 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.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Determine temperature range expected before oil change. All oil must meet API service classification SG-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.Remove yellow cap from end of drain valve and install the drain tube onto the fitting.

3.Unlock drain valve by pushing inward slightly and turning counterclockwise.
