MAINTENANCE (CONT'D)
GEARCASE
1. THE GEAR CASE AND AREA AROUND
ALL THE
DRIVE SHOULD
BE KEPT CLEAN AND
FREE OF
BUILD-UP.
2.
To check gear case area:
a. Remove the drive cover by removing the two (2)
screws (See Fig. 16). Keep for re-use.
b. Clean trash from around gear case.
c. Put drive cover back, removed in (a) above.
NOTE:
The gear case is filled to proper level at the fac-
tory.
The only
time the lubricant needs attention is ff ser-
vice has been performed
on the gear case.
The gear case must be filled with grease after gear case
has been serviced. Use only multi-purpose
automotive
grease. Do not substitute.
LUBRICATION
MOWER
WHEELS:
Lubricating
wheels and/or
wheel
bearings is not necessary under normal conditions.
Should conditions require lubricaiton,
thoroughly
clean
wheels and/or wheel bearings and axles and apply a light
coating of dry lubricant.
REAR DOOR HINGE:
Put a few drops of the same oil
as used in the engine on hinge points of rear door once
or twice each year {See Fig. 24).
GEAR CASE: The gear case is filled at the factory and
does not require any addition of lubricant, unless the gear
case is opened and service performed.
Use only a multi-
purpose automotive grease for refilling after service has
been performed. Approximately
2 7/2 oz. required.
FRONT WHEEL ADJUSTERS:
Put a few drops of the
same oil as used in the engine on the front wheel adjusters
once or twice each year (See Fig. 25).
GRASS CATCHER
Check your grass catcher often for damage or deteriora-
tion. Through normal use it will wear. If catcher needs
replacing,
replace only with a manufacturer
approved
replacement catcher from Sears. Give the mower number
when ordering.
NOTE: The catcher may be hosed with water, but must
be dry when used.
ZOflE/CONTROLLEVER
Put one or two drops of the same oil as used in the engine
between the zone control lever and bracket located on
left rear of engine {See Fig. 26). Do this once or twice
each year.

CLEANING
CAUTION:
Disconnect
spark
plug wire
from
spark plug
and place wire where it cannot come in contact withthe
spark plug.
1. Turn mower on its side with carburetor
up.
2.
Clean the underside of your mower by scraping to
remove build-up
of grass and trash.
NOTE:
We recommend that you clean the underside of
your mower after each use.
3. Clean your mower and engine often to keep build-up
of trash from accumulating
around engine; a clog-
ged engine runs hotter and shortens engine life.
NOTE:
We DO NOT recommend using a garden hose
to clean mower unless the electrical system, muffler, air
filter and carburetor
are covered to keep water out.
Water in engine can result in shortening engine life.
