    Tractor Roll Over ROPS is a special safety unit. After an accident the ROPS must be replaced so that you will get the same protection as a new ROPS. ROPS, the seat, the seat belts and all the mounting, accessories and wiring inside the operator’s protective area must be carefully checked after a tractor accident and all parts with damage should be replaced immediately.
  • Page 19 ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS) Foldable ROPS Frame When improperly operated, this tractor can roll over or upset. Use of the ROPS and seat belt minimize the possibility of injury or death if rollover or upset occurs. For low clearance use only, the ROPS can be lowered.
  • Page 20 SAFETY/DECALS Low Clearance Positions For low clearance operation, such as operating in buildings, orchards or vineyards, the ROPS can be lowered and secured in the down position. No rollover protection is provided in the lowered positions and the seat belt should not be fastened. When the low clearance operation is completed, return the ROPS to the secured upright position for all other tractor uses and transport.

    BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE Before starting your tractor for the first time and before each operating period after that, make these checks: 1. Make sure all persons who operate or do maintenance on the tractor understand that clean fuel is important. 2.
  • Page 45 RUN – IN PROCEDURE If run-in instructions for a new engine are not followed, you can cause damage to piston rings and cylinder walls. LOAD Never operate an engine immediately under full load. Allow the engine to warm up before operating it at full load. Run-in the engine carefully as shown in the table.
  • Page 46 NORMAL STARTING PROCEDURE IMPORTANT: It is very important that enough lubricant reaches the engine parts before operating the engine at rated speed. Operate controls only when seated in the operators seat. Engine can start with transmission in gear when neutral or safety start switch is by-passed: 1.

  • Page 49 4. If the charge indicator comes on during operation, determine and correct the cause to avoid complete discharge of the battery and possible damage to other components of the electrical system. See your Dealer. 5. If the coolant temperature indicator comes on, remove the load and allow the engine to run at 1500 rpm until the indicator goes out.

  • Page 50: Stopping The Engine

    STOPPING THE ENGINE IMPORTANT: When stopping the engine after operating under heavy load, run the engine at 1500 RPM for a short period of time. This will allow the engine temperature to decrease gradually. STEP 1 STOP STOP STOP Move the engine speed control lever to run engine at idle speed for three to five minutes to decrease the temperature of engine.
  • Page 51 3. ENGINE OIL – Must have the correct viscosity for the ambient temperature range. 4. TRANSMISSION HYDRAULIC FLUID – Use Cub Cadet Hydraulic Transmission fluid. 5. COOLING SYSTEM – Must have ethylene glycol solution for protection. 6. TIRES – If there is liquid in the tires, the tires must have protection against temperatures below 0 C(32 F).
  • Page 52 IMPORTANT: During cold ambient temperatures, never run the engine at low idle speed for long periods of time. During cold ambient temperatures, if the engine will not heat to or keep the rated operating temperatures can cause damage to the engine can occur. Use the following procedures to warm the engine and transmission fluids, and to keep the correct operating temperatures.
  • Page 53 When towing a tractor, follow these rules: 1. Never tow the tractor faster than a ground speed of 16 Km/h (10MPH). 2. Make sure all controls are in the neutral or OFF position. 3. Because of a possible loss of steering and brakes when the tractor engine is not running, use only a rigid towing bar and safety chains to pull the tractor.

  • Page 54: Transmission Operation

    GEAR DRIVE TRANSMISSION The gear drive transmission has forward and a reverse gear section, a four-speed main shift gear section, and a three-speed range section. This arrangement gives 8 forward and 8 reverse speeds. Transmission Operation 1. Push the clutch pedal and stop the tractor. Move the gear shift lever to the gear needed.
  • Page 55 HYDROSTATIC DRIVE TRANSMISSION The Hydrostatic drive transmission has a forward/reverse hydrostatic section and a three-speed range section. This arrangement gives three forward and three reverse speeds ranges. Transmission Operation 1. Push the clutch pedal fully and stop the tractor.

The inflation pressure are based on cold inflation pressure recommendations by Tire and Rim Association Inc. For maximum tractor performance always adjust the tire pressure, within the minimum/maximum range to conform with the actual load on the tires.
  • Page 74 A tire can explode during inflation and cause serious injury or death. Never increase air pressure beyond 35 PSI to seat the bead on the rim. Replace a tire if it has a direct. Replace a wheel rim which has cracks, wear or severe rust. Make sure that all the air is removed from a tire before removing the tire from the rim.

    TRACTOR BALLAST Ballast for your tractor includes front-end weights, rear wheel weights and liquid ballast in the rear tires. Front-end weights improve the steering characteristic when heavy hitch loads cause a movement of tractor weight from the front to the rear wheels. Rear wheel weights and adding liquid to the rear tires increase traction by putting weight on the driving wheels.
