Low Gas Window
The low gas window is located at the rear of
the tractor. If the gas level is visible in this
window, the tank should be re-filled.
Transmission Bypass Rod
The transmission bypass rod is located at the rear of the tractor
on the lower right section of the frame.
When engaged, the rod opens a bypass within the hydrostatic
transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed short
distances by hand. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for
instructions on using the bypass feature.
NOTE: If the tractor will not move or does not move freely when
pushing check if the bypass lever is fully open.
NOTE: The transmission will NOT engage when the hydrostatic
bypass rod is pulled out. Return the rod to its normal position
prior to operating the tractor. If the tractor will not move when
pushing on the forward/reverse pedals, or moves slowly, check to
see of the bypass valve is on.
CAUTION:
Never tow your tractor. Towing the
tractor with the rear wheels on the ground may
cause severe damage to the transmissions.
Hydrostatic Transmission Oil Plug/Dipstick
The hydrostatic transmission oil plug/dipstick is located on the
back of the tractor frame and is used to check the level of the
hydrostatic transmission oil. The oil fill port is where hydrostatic
transmission oil can be added.

IN WINDOW
into the START position, the systems indicator monitor displays the
battery's output, in volts, on its LCD for approximately five seconds,
after which it displays an hour glass and the hours of tractor
operation. Once the tractor is started, the monitor continually
displays an hour glass and the hours of tractor operation on its LCD.
NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded any time the
ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position, regardless of
whether the engine is started.
The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of
maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The LCD will
alternately flash the recorded hours, "CHG" and "OIL" for five
minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded operation elapse. The
maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102,
150-152, etc.). The LCD will also flash as described above for five
minutes every time the tractor's engine has been started during
this maintenance interval. Before the interval expires, change the
engine oil as instructed in the Engine Operator's Manual.
Brake
If the Brake light illuminates when attempting to start the
tractor's engine, depress the brake pedal.
PTO (Blade Engage)
If the PTO light illuminates when attempting to start the tractor's
engine, move PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position.
Oil
It is normal for the Oil light to illuminate while the engine is
cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate's during operation,
while the engine is running, stop the tractor immediately and
check the engine oil level as instructed in this Owner's Manual.
Battery
It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the engine is
cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate's during operation,
while the engine is running, the battery is in need of a charge
or the engine's charging system is not generating sufficient
amperage. Charge the battery as instructed in the Service
section of this manual or have the charging system checked by
your Cub Cadet dealer.
