1

How often should I replace the air filter on the RER 1000?

The air filter should be replaced every 100 operating hours or more frequently in dusty conditions. Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air filter element, as this can cause damage. (Page 2)

2

What is the maximum slope I can safely operate the Craftsman RER 1000 on?

Do not operate this machine on a slope greater than 12 degrees. On slopes, the weight of towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control. If turning on a slope is necessary, turn slowly and gradually. (Page 2)

3

How do I engage the mower blades on the RER 1000?

To engage the blades, move the throttle/choke control lever to the FAST position before engaging the PTO (Blade Engage) lever. Keep all bystanders, helpers, children, and pets at least 75 feet away from the machine while the blades are in operation. Never operate without the discharge chute or grass collector in place. (Page 2)

4

How should I safely store the Craftsman RER 1000?

Never store a gasoline-powered lawn tractor with fuel in the tank in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area, where gasoline fumes can reach fire, sparks, or pilot lights. This applies to indoor storage as well as poorly ventilated outdoor structures. (Page 2)

5

How do I perform basic maintenance on the battery?

The battery is sealed and maintenance-free, but ensure the cables and terminals are clean and free of corrosive build-up. Avoid charging the battery in areas with explosive gases. When reconnecting, connect the negative cable end to the tractor's engine block away from the battery, attaching it to a non-painted area for a good connection. (Page 2)

6

What safety precautions should I follow before performing maintenance on the RER 1000?

Before starting any maintenance, ensure the engine is shut off and cool, and disengage all controls. Allow the engine to cool for at least 30 minutes before cleaning or servicing, and be careful not to touch the muffler, as it can cause severe burns or death. Never attempt adjustments while the engine is running, except disengaging the PTO lever and moving the shift lever into neutral. (Page 2)

Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

    HOWTO USEYOURTRACTOR TO SET PARKING BRAKE Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing switch. When engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake will shut off the engine.

  • • Turn ignition key to =OFF" positionand remove key. Always remove key when leaving tractor to prevent unauthorized USe.
  • • Never use choke to stop engine. IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch

    • in any position other than =OFF" will cause the battery to be discharged, (dead). NOTE: Under certain conditions when tractor is standing idle with the engine running, hot engine exhaust gases may cause =browning" of grass. To eliminate this possibility,always stop engine when stopping tractor on grass areas. A CAUTION: Always stop tractor completely, as described above, before leaving the operator's position;to empty TO USE THRO'I'FLE CONTROL Always operate engine at full throttle.

  • • Operating engine at less than full throttle reduces the battery charging rate.
  • • Full throttle offers the best bagging and mower performance.

    ADD GASOLINE

    • FUlfuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular

    unleaded gasoline with a minimum of

    87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide

    deposits and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

    IMPORTANT: When operating in temperatures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure good cold weather starting.

    • The attachments and ground drive can now be used. If the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke as dascribed above.

    a, WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

    using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids duringstorage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run untilthe fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructionsfor additional information. Never usa engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. _11CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spillor use gasoline near an open flame.

    COLD WEATHER STARTING ( 50° F and below)

  • When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttle control in the choke position untilthe engine runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast position. This may require an

    • engine warm-up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature.

    MULCHING MOWING TIPS IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep mower housing free of built-up grass and trash. Clean after each use.

    MOWING TIPS

  • • Mower should be properly leveled for

    • best mowing performance. See "TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

    Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

  • • The left hand side of mower should be used for trimming.
  • • Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut. Have

    • the cut area to the rightof the tractor. This will resutt in a more even distribu-

    tion of clippings and more uniform cutting.

    Page 18
    Craftsman Rer 1000 manual — page 18

  • • When mowing large areas, start by turning to the rightso that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left hand turns until finished.
  • • Ifgrass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and

    • possible fire hazard from dried clippings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height.

  • • Do not mow gross when it iswet. Wet grass will plug mower and leave undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry before mowing.
  • • Always operate engine st full throttle when mowing to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material Regulate ground speed by selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cuttingperformance as well as the quality of cut desired.
  • • When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used.

  • • The special mulching blade will rscut the grass clippings many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse intothe grass and not be noticed. Atso. the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch with your highest engine (bleds) speed as this will provide the best recuttingaction of the blades.
  • • Avoid cuttingyour lawn when it iswet. Wet grass tends to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action. The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area will not be exposed to the directsun.
  • • For best results, adjust the mower cuttingheight so that the mower cuts oft only the top one-third of the grass blades. For extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.
  • • Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a second fims to completely hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow across or perpendicularto the first cut path.
  • • Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to south one week

    • then change to east to west the next week. This will help prevent matting and graining of the lawn.

    NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. 33rosealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion. OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM Be sure operator presence and interlock systems are working properly. If your tractor does not function as described, repair the problem immediately.

  • • The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grindingwheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.
  • • To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a cone balancer, follow the instructionssupplied with balancer.)

  • • The engine should not start unless the brake pedal is fully depressed and attachement clutch control is in the disengaged position.
  • • When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first settingthe parking brake should shut off the engine.
  • • When the engine is running and the attachment clutch is engaged, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat should shut off the engine.
  • • The attachment clutch should never operate unless the operator is in the seat.

    • NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of the center hole may

    appear to be centered, but are not. • Slide blade on to an unthreaded

    portion of the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground. If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end untilthe blade is balanced.

    • (See belt replacement instructionsin the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

  • 3. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this manual.
  • 4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear. Replace il necessary.
  • 5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

    • engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizerto reach

    the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. ENGINEOIL

    Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual). CYLiNDER(S)

  • 1. Remove spark plug(s).
  • 2. Pour one ounce of oil through spark plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).

    • BATI'ERY

    Fully charge the batteryfor storage. After a period of time in storage, battery

    may require recharging.

  • • TO help prevent corrosionand power leakage during long periods of storage, battery cables should be disconnected

    • Page 33
    Craftsman Rer 1000 manual — page 33

    and battery cleaned thoroughly (see "TO CLEAN BATI-ERY AND TERMI-

    NALS" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

  • • After cleaning, leave cables disconnected and place cables where they cannot come in contact with battery terminals.
  • • If batteryis removed from tractorfor storage, do not store battery directly on concrete or damp surfaces.

  • • Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
  • • Replace your gasoline can if your can startsto rust. Rust and/or dirtin your gasoline will cause problems.
  • • If possible, store your tractor indoors and cover itto give protection from dust and dirt.
  • • Cover your tractor with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe which allows conden-

    • sation to form and will cause your tractorto rust.

    ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM IMPORTANT: it Isimpartant to prevent gum deposites from forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel hose, or tank during storage.

    IMPORTANT: Never caver tractor while engine and exhaust areas are stillwarm.
