manual. Learn to operate this machine
SAFELY. Do not risk
INJURY or DEATH. Allow only those who have become
competent
in its usage to operate this tractor.

operation,
be familiar
with the controls. The operator should be in the operator's
seat. The PTO switch must be in the disengaged
position,
the parking brake engaged, and the RH and LH drive control
levers moved fully outward
in the neutral position.
Keep all shields in place. Keep away from moving
parts.
NO RIDERS! Keep all people and pets a safe distance away.
Look behind and down to both sides of the tractor
before
and while backing
up.
DO NOT direct the mower
discharge
at people.
Avoid slopes where possible. Never operate on slopes
greater than 15°. Slopes with a greater incline present
dangerous
operating
conditions.
Tractors can be rolled over.
Before leaving the operator's
seat: Shut off the PTO, move
the RH and LH drive control
levers fully outward
in the
neutral
position,
engage the parking
brake, shut offthe
engine and remove the ignition
key. Wait for all movement
to stop before servicing
or cleaning.
Operate the drive control
levers smoothly
and avoid
any sudden
movements
of the levers when starting
and
stopping.
Keep a firm grip on the control
levers.
Be careful when operating
near roadways.
Stop the tractor
motion
and wait for vehicles
to pass before operating
along the road.
Do not operate the tractor with the mower deck removed.
Removal
of the deck will change the balance
of the tractor,
and could contribute
to a tractor
rollover.
Avoid operation
on traction
surfaces that are unstable;
use
extreme
caution
if the surface is slippery.
Slow down before turning
and come to a complete
stop
before any zero turn maneuver.

over
combustible
materials
such as dry grass, leaves, debris, etc.
Do not fill the fuel tank when the engine is running
or
while the engine is hot. Allow the engine
several minutes
to cool before refueling.

the fuel cap securely.
BeforeOperatingYourTractor
Before you operate the tractor,
study this manual carefully
to familiarize
yourself
with the operation
of all the
instruments
and controls.
It has been prepared
to help you
operate and maintain
your tractor
efficiently.
This engine is certified
to operate
only on clean, fresh,
unleaded
regular gasoline.
For best results, fill the fuel
tank with only clean, fresh, unleaded
gasoline
with a pump
sticker octane
rating of 87 or higher.
Unleaded
gasoline is recommended
because it leaves less
combustion
chamber
deposits and reduces harmful exhaust
emissions. Leaded gasoline is not recommended
and must
not be used where exhaust emissions are regulated.
NOTE: Purchase gasoline
in small quantities.
Do not use
gasoline
left over from the previous
season, to minimize
gum deposits
in the fuel system.
Gasohol (up to 10% ethyl alcohol,
90% unleaded
gasoline
by volume)
is an approved
fuel. Other gasoline/alcohol
blends are not approved.
Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) and unleaded gasoline
blends (up to a maximum
of 15% MTBE by volume) are
approved fuels. Other gasoline/ether
blends are not approved.
Check the engine
oil level.
Clean the air cleaner element
if necessary.
Check the tire inflation
pressures.
Adjust the seat for operator's
maximum
comfort,
visibility
and for maintaining
complete
control
of the tractor.
SafetyinterlockSystem
This tractor
is equipped
with a safety interlock
system for the
protection
of the operator.
If the interlock
system should
ever
malfunction,
do not operate the tractor. Contact your authorized
Cub Cadet Dealer.
The safety interlock
system prevents
the engine from
cranking
or starting
unless the RH and LH drive control
levers are moved fully outward
in the neutral
position,
the
parking
brake is engaged,
and the PTO is disengaged.
To avoid sudden
movement
when disengaging
the parking
brake, the safety interlock
system will shut offthe
engine
if the RH and/or LH drive control
levers are moved to a
position
other than the fully out in the neutral
position
when the parking
brake is engaged.
The safety interlock
system will shut off the engine if the
operator
leaves the seat before engaging
the parking brake.
The safety interlock
system will shut off the engine
if the
operator
leaves the seat with the PTO engaged,
regardless
of whether
the parking
brake is engaged.
NOTE:The
PTO switch
must be moved to the "STOP"
position
to restart the engine.
The safety interlock
system will shut off the PTO and the
mower
blades will stop if both drive control
levers are
moved into the reverse position.
The PTO will re-engage
when one or both of the levers are moved back to the
