IMPORTANT: If removing the battery for any reason,
disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it's terminal
first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. When re-
installing the battery, always connect the POSITIVE (Red)
wire to its terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black)
wire. Be certain that the wires are connected to the correct
terminals; reversing them could change the polarity and
cause damage to your engine's alternating system.
Cleaning Battery and Terminals
1. Remove battery from vehicle. Always remove negative
cable first when disconnecting.
2. Wash battery with solution of four tablespoons of baking
soda to one gallon of water.
3. Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.
4. Clean terminals and battery cable ends with wire brush
until bright.
5. Apply petroleum jelly or silicone spray to terminals to
prevent corrosion.
6. Install battery. Always install negative cable last when
connecting.

battery. Warm to 60 degrees F (16 degrees C). Do not
smoke near battery and wear eye protection and
gloves when handling battery.

Charging Battery
WARNING:
Charge battery in a well ventilated area
and keep away from an open flame or pilot light as
on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes
dryer or other gas appliances.
If the vehicle has not been put into use for an extended period of
time, charge the battery with an automotive type 12-volt charger
for a minimum of one hour at six amps.

Tire Pressure

WARNING:
Explosive separation of tire and rim
parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly.
Do not stand in front or over tire assembly when
inflating.
The recommended operating tire pressure is approximately
14-18 psi for all tires. Overinflating above recommended tire
pressure can reduce the life of the tire. Check tire pressure before
driving the vehicle.
Operator Protective Structure (OPS)
Periodically (at least every six months) visually inspect the OPS
and seat belt assemblies for damage and loose fasteners. If
damage is noted, contact your Cub Cadet dealer.
If an accident has occurred which may have damaged the OPS,
have the OPS thoroughly inspected by your Cub Cadet dealer.
WARNING:
To ensure the structural integrity of the
OPS to provide operator protection, do not attempt
to straighten or weld the OPS. A damaged OPS
should be replaced.
If the OPS is removed for any reason, make sure the proper
hardware is used to reinstall it, and that the recommended
torque values are applied to the fasteners.
If you are not installing new bolts when replacing or reinstalling
the OPS, apply Loctite ® 242 to the threads of the bolts that were
removed. Torque the bolts to 32 to 36 ft. lbs.
