The gear shift lever is located on the upper right hand
side of the instrument panel. This lever is used to
select various gear ratios provided in the transmission.
There are five forward speeds and one reverse speed.
Refer to "SPECIFICATIONS." (Refer to Figure 8.)
K. INTERLOCKS
This tractor is equipped with a safety interlock system
for the protection of the operator. If the interlock sys¬
tem should ever malfunction, do not operate the trac¬
tor. Contact your authorized Cub Cadet dealer.
The safety interlock system prevents the engine from
cranking or starting unless the brake/clutch pedal is
fully depressed, and the PTO switch is in the "OFF"
position.
The safety interlock system will automatically shut off
the engine if the operator leaves the seat before plac¬
ing the gear shift lever in neutral ("N") and engaging
the brake pedal lock.
The safety interlock system will automatically disen¬
gage the PTO if the operator leaves the seat with the
PTO on, or the unit is shifted into reverse with the
PTO in the "RUN" position. To re-engage the PTO,
shift into neutral ("N"), move the PTO switch into the
"OFF" position, and then engage the PTO while
seated.
FUEL TANK AND GAUGE
The fuel tank is on the pedestal, under the hood. The
fuel tank cap gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the
tank. Remove the cap gauge to fill the tank. Reinstall
cap after filling fuel tank. (Refer to Figure 9.)
