Seat Adjustment

Refer to the Assembly section of this manual for seat adjustment instructions.
Parking Brake Adjustment
WARNING
Never attempt to adjust the brakes while the engine is running. Always
disengage PTO (blade engage) lever, move shift lever into neutral position,
stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake pedal is completely
depressed, or if the tractor's rear wheels can roll with the parking brake applied,
the brake is in need of adjustment. Contact the nearest Sears Service Center to have
your brakes properly adjusted.
To locate the nearest Parts & Repair Service Center or to schedule service,
contact 1-888-331-4569.

To remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:
1. Place the PTO (Blade Engage) lever in the disengaged (OFF) position and
engage the parking brake.
2. Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the bottom notch on the
right fender.
3. Remove the self-tapping screw (A) that secures the belt-keeper rod from
around the tractor's PTO pulley, then remove the belt keeper rod (B). See

Note: Make a mental note what hole the other end of the belt-keeper rod is
inserted in for reinstallation purposes.
