IMPORTANT - BATTERY CARE
Proper attention to the battery on units so equipped
is of the utmost importance.
Your battery is of the some high standard as is
used in automobiles. Unfortunately it does not have
the advantage of automatic attention by the service
station attendant as the one in your car.
The following points are recorded to help remind you
to provide attention to the battery and gain full
advantage of the usable life built into the battery
and avoid costly replacements.
1. Check solution level in battery at least once
each week. Add distilled water when required
to retain the level of 3/16" over the separators.
After adding water, run the engine so that the
generator charge will mix the solution. Do not
over fill - retain 3/16" solution above plated.
2. Keep the battery clean. Remove any collection
of grease or other substance from the top of
the battery.
3. Keep top of battery clean and dry at all times.
4. Keep battery snug in its cradle or holder.
5.
Keep vent caps tight and small vent holes in
caps open.
6.
If battery should become discharged or fall
below a specific gravity of 1.225 remove battery
and have it recharged.
7.
When recharging, request service station to
SLOW CHARGE
the battery at a rate of 2
to 3 amperes.
FAST CHARGING IS NOT RE-
COMMENDED.
WINTER CARE
1.
If unit is not used regularly during winter
months it should be removed and stored in
a cool, dry place.
2.
If unit is used only infrequently during winter
months check at least once each thirty days to
be sure a full charge is maintained.
3.
A battery not fully charged can freeze result-
ing in the necessity to replace.
4.
A safe rule is to charge the battery monthly
or at least test and recharge if below 1.225
specific gravity.
Please remember the necessity of proper winter
care for the battery. Batteries not in use for several
months and not kept fully charged produce a sulpha-
tion of the plates which cannot be removed by
recharging.
Your guarantee is intended to provide you adequate
protection. It does not, however, cover recharging
or damage resulting from lack of care, freezing or
inability to perform after winter or long storage
periods without proper attention.
TIRES
Keep tires inflated to 15 pounds of air in front, 8
pounds in rear. To repair a punctured tire, front
wheel may be removed by unscrewing cap screw
from front spindle and sliding washer and front
wheel complete with tire from spindle. NOTE:
Bolt on L.H. front wheel has L.H. threads. Remove
rear wheel by unscrewing three hub bolts from
wheel and hub. A local automobile repair station
can repair tire in same manner cs an automobile.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
In the event your tractor is to be inoperative for
periods in excess of 30 days - prepare for storage
as outlined below:
1.
Drain gas tank.
2.
Drain carburetor by allowing engine to run out of gas-
oline. Then push in drain valve under carburetor bowl
to remove all gasoline from carburetor. Evaporating
gasoline will leave gum deposits if not drain complete-
ly. These deposits make fuel systems inoperative re-
sulting in a hard or non-starting engine when again
used.
3.
Do not save or store gasoline over winter.
GENERAL
1.
Just as your automobile needs professional
mechanical maintenance from time to time,
so does your air cooled engine. Cleaning and
adjustment of the carburetor and periodic re-
placement of the spark plug and ignition points
is made necessary by
NORMAL
use.
2. Professional air cooled engine service is as
close as
your nearest Sears Store.
3.
A yearly check up or tune up by Sears is a
good idea to avoid breakdowns or delays ...
Do it each fall, then you're ready for spring.
We even prepare it for storage for you.
HOW TO START IF BATTERY IS LOW
1. The quickest and best method is to use jumper
cables from your 12 Volt automobile battery to
the tractor battery.
CAUTION: Be sure to connect jumper cable from
(+) positive terminal of automobile battery to (.-)
positive terminal of tractor battery. Connect remain-
ing jumper cable to negative terminals of both
batteries.
If jumper cables are not available belt guard ass-
embly and starter-generator belt can be removed
from engine. A piece of rope about 3 ft. long can
be used to start engine. Fie a knot at one end of
ropeand a piece of woos at
the other end of the.rope
(to use as a handle). Wrap rope
around pulley
a.la
pull rope sharply to start engine. This method will
start engine but will not charge battery. Do not
attempt to enstall belt with engine running. We ad-
vise the use of jumper cables or remove and charge
battery. If belt has been removed, replace belt and
adjust tension properly. Replace belt guard.
