Warning - Craftsman PRO series Operator's Manual

Servicing Electrical System
A fuse is installed to protect the riding mower's electrical system from damage
caused by excessive amperage. Always use the same capacity fuse for replacement.
If the electrical system does not function, check for a blown fuse.
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, call 1-888-331-4569 to schedule
electrical system service from Sears Parts & Repair.
Relays and Switches
There are several safety switches in the electrical system. If a function of the safety
interlock system described earlier is not functioning properly, call 1-888-331-4569
to have the electrical system checked by Sears Parts & Repair.
Using the Deck Wash System
When using the deck wash system, never engage the deck from any
position other than the operator's seat of the riding mower. Do not use an
assistant or engage deck in the presence of any bystanders.
1. Attach the nozzle adapter to a standard garden hose connected to a water
supply.
2. Move the riding mower to an area within reach of the hose where the
dispersal of wet grass clippings is not objectionable to you. Disengage the
PTO, engage the parking brake, and stop the engine.
3. Pull back the lock collar of the nozzle adapter and push the adapter onto the
deck wash nozzle at the left end of the mower deck. Release the lock collar
to lock the adapter on the nozzle. Refer to Figure 17.

Hydrostatic Transmission
Your zero turn tractor is equipped with dual integrated hydrostatic pumps/
transaxles that are sealed and are maintenance-free. However, this model is
equipped with a transmission oil expansion reservoir. Under normal operating
conditions, the oil level in the expansion reservoir does not need to be checked and
no additional oil is needed. If checking the reservoir oil level, proceed as follows:
Check the oil level ONLY before starting the tractor when the transmission
oil is fully cooled.
1. Pivot the operator's seat forward and clean the reservoir cap and the area
around the cap to prevent debris from contaminating the transmission oil.
See Figure 18.
2. Turn the reservoir cap counterclockwise to re-move, then check the oil level in the
reservoir. Oil should be visible at the bottom of the cup, but the oil level must NOT be
above the "FULL COLD" line. See Figure 18. DO NOT FILL THE RESERVOIR.
3. If necessary to add oil because of some type of leakage, use a quality 20W50 motor
oil and add only enough oil to bring the level to the "FULL COLD" line. Reinstall the
cap and fully tighten.
NOTE: Prior to the initial operation of the tractor, the oil level in the reservoir
may be slightly higher than the maximum due to air in the oil lines.
Operation of the tractor will eventually purge the air from the lines and the
oil level will settle to the maximum.
