5. When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak
the element in a mixture of 2 oz. detergent dis¬
solved in 1 gallon of water for 15 minutes, then
wash it several times in water, rinse with clean
water and air dry completely. After element is
fully dried, inspect inside of the element with a
light and check if it is damaged. (Refer to the

cleanings.
IMPORTANT
Install the dust cup with the keyed edge

cup is mounted incorrectly, dust or dirt does
not collect in the cup, and dust will cause
severe engine damage.
HYDROSTATIC DRIVE HYDRAULIC FLUID FILTER
■i^ NOTE
Clean the outside area before removing the
filter to keep dirt from getting into the
transmission case. If a mower is mounted
on the tractor, the mower must be lowered
to facilitate removal of the filter.
Remove the throw-away-can-type filter and replace
with a new filter after the first 10 and 50 hours of
operation, and every 100 hours of operation
thereafter. The filters can be obtained through your
Cub Cadet Dealer under part number 723-3014.
To remove the filter, turn the filter counterclockwise
using an automotive-type filter wrench.
Before installing the new filter, apply a coating of oil on
the filter gasket. Thread the new filter on by hand until
tight enough to seat the gasket. Loosen the filter.
Then turn it until the gasket contacts the base.
Tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn. Start engine
and allow it to run for a few minutes. Shut engine off
and check for leaks; check oil level in transmission
case.
