Gear Shift Lever - Craftsman CX Serie Manual Del Operador

Gear Shift Lever

Use this lever to select any of four forward ground speeds, neutral, or reverse.
Forward
Four forward speeds are available. Position one (1) is the slowest and position four
(4) is the fastest.
Reverse
To select reverse, put the lever in the Reverse (R) position.
Look behind the mower before and during reverse operation. Stop the
mower blades before operating in reverse.
Neutral
Place the lever in neutral (N) before starting the mower and when the mower is
not in use. In addition, the mower can be manually pushed or pulled by placing the
gear shift lever into N (neutral) position and pressing the drive control against the
handlebar grip.
Always release the drive control before changing speeds. Failure to do so
may result in serious damage to your transmission.
KNOW YOUR MOWER
WARNING
CAUTION
Systems Indicator Monitor/Hour Meter
LCD
When the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position but not into the START
position, the systems indicator monitor displays the battery's output, in volts, on
its LCD for approximately five seconds, after which it displays an hour glass and
the hours of mower operation. Once the engine is started, the monitor continually
displays an hour glass and the hours of mower operation on its LCD. See Figure 10.
NOTE: Hours of mower operation are recorded any time the ignition key is rotated
out of the STOP
position, regardless of whether the engine is started.
The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of maintenance intervals for
changing the engine oil. The LCD will alternately flash the recorded hours, "CHG"
and "OIL" for five minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded operation elapse. The
maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102, 150-152, etc.). The
LCD will also flash as described above for five minutes every time the mower's
engine has been started during this maintenance interval. Before the interval
expires, change the engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance section of this
Operator's Manual.
Battery
It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the engine is cranking during
start-up, but if it illuminates during operation, while the engine is running, the
battery is in need of a charge or the engine's charging system is not generating
sufficient amperage. Charge the battery as instructed in the Service section of this
manual or have the charging system checked by Sears or another qualified service
dealer.
