INSTRUMENT PANEL BULB REPLACEMENT
Referring to the instrument panel information pro-
vided in the CONTROL AND FEATURES section
of this manual, regularly check to ensure that the
instrument panel light bulbs are functioning.
To change a burned out instrument panel bulb:
• Raise the tractor hood to view the back side of
the instrument panel.
• Determine the position of the burned out bulb
and pull the seal plug from the back of the
instrument panel. See Figure 36.

• Using a small flat bladed screw driver in the slot
of the bulb socket, turn the socket approxi-
mately a quarter turn counterclockwise to un-
lock from the instrument panel. Carefully with-
draw from the panel. Note the position of the
bulb socket locking tabs.
• Insert the new bulb/socket assembly into the
instrument panel in the same manner, making
certain the locking tabs of the socket engage
the slots of the instrument panel.
• Turn the socket approximately a quarter turn
clockwise to lock in place and reinsert the seal
plug into the panel opening.
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.

Accessing the Fuse Center
The fuse center is located on the inside right of the
dash panel. To access the fuse center, remove the
dash panel insert by removing the two screws. See
Figure 38.
Reposition the dash panel insert in the dash and
secure with the two screws to cover the fuse center.
Instrument Panel Fuses
The instrument panel's circuitry is protected by the
two fuses in the fuse center. If the instrument panel
does not function properly, check the fuses.
• Pull the two fuses from the fuse center and
check their condition. Replace a blown fuse
with the same capacity fuse (3 Amp). Refer to
Figure 39.
Relays
The PTO relay and dash power relay, located in the
fuse center, maintain power to each of those
circuits. If one of the circuits is not functioning
properly, have your dealer electrically check the
relay. See Figure 39.
