TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/

REPLACEMENT

Should your transmission require removal for

service or replacement, it should be purged

after reinstallation and before operating the

tractor. See "PURGE TRANSMISSION" 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

AI_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.
