SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Fuses are installed to protect the tractor's electrical
system from damage caused by excessive amper-
age. Always use the same capacity fuse for
replacement. If the electrical system does not func-
tion, check for blown fuses. See Figure 37
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses,
have the tractor's electrical system checked by your
Cub Cadet dealer.
