The safety provided by the ROPS is minimized if the seat belt is not properly adjusted AND buckled. Refer to ADJUSTMENTS for seat belt adjustment.
SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM • Do not smoke while refueling the tractor. 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 brake pedal is fully depressed, and the PTO is “OFF”. • Do not fill the fuel tank when the engine is running or while the engine is hot.
STARTING THE ENGINE • WARNING: Always sit in the operator’s seat when starting the tractor, Never attempt to start the engine while standing beside the tractor. WARNING: Never use starting fluids, such as ether, as a starting aid. Severe engine damage or fire could result. • • • • Observe the instrument panel. If the battery indicator light, oil pressure light, or coolant temperature light comes on, immediately stop the engine. Have the tractor inspected by your Cub Cadet dealer.
• Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove the key from the ignition switch. NOTE: Always remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent accidental starting or battery discharge if the equipment is left unattended. Before operating the tractor on a slope, walk the slope to look for possible hazards such as rocks, mounds, stumps, or surface irregularities which could cause the tractor to be upset. Back the tractor with attachment up the steepest portion of each slope you intend to work.
LOW range — Shift the lever fully rearward in slot. Forward speed 0 to 10.2 km/h. Reverse speed 0 to 5.1 km/h. Low range is recommended for use with most PTO driven tractor attachments. Low range must be used when climbing or descending slopes. BRAKE PEDAL FORWARD/ REVERSE PEDAL Forward PARKING BRAKE LEVER NEUTRAL — Shift the lever to the center of slot. Disengages the transmission drive. Use ONLY for towing or moving the tractor when not under power.
USING THE HYDRAULIC LIFT LEVER • The hydraulic lift system provides power for raising and positioning three point hitch and belly mounted equipment. The system’s position control feature maintains the selected height or depth of the equipment. When the hydraulic lift lever is moved to a higher or lower setting, the system repositions the equipment and maintains that selected position. • To raise an attachment using the hydraulic lift system, the engine must be running.
The headlights use two halogen bulbs per side. The placement of the bulbs provide a broad light range for safer operation of the tractor in low light conditions. THROTTLE HANDLE Mid Throttle to Engage PTO SWITCH IMPORTANT: Normally the PTO will not operate when the tractor is driven in the reverse direction. The PTO reverse override switch must be activated to operate the PTO while traveling in reverse.
USING THE THREE POINT HITCH USING THE AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC VALVE WARNING: Always disengage the PTO, stop the engine, and set the parking brake before dismounting the tractor to connect, disconnect, or adjust three point hitch mounted implements. Some tractors may be equipped with an auxiliary hydraulic valve package. This package provides two hydraulic circuits for operating optional equipment that can be installed on the tractor.
When mounting optional Cub Cadet equipment on the rear of the tractor, such as a rotary tiller, rotary cutting deck, or a rear finish mower, the weight bracket and a minimum of four suitcase weights should be used. FLOAT HITCH FLOAT BOOM LOWER HITCH LOWER BOOM ANGLE RIGHT DUMP BUCKET For all other rear mounted equipment, follow the guidelines provided in the implement’s Operator’s Manual to determine how much weight is needed to counterbalance the equipment.
SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE SEAT Adjust the final length of the seat belt using the adjuster clip, buckle link, and upper belt webbing on the right half of the belt. For the comfort of the operator, a single lever adjustable seat is provided to set the fore to aft position of the seat. Adjust the seat to the most comfortable position that allows you to operate all controls and pedals.
• The length of the upper hitch link is normally determined by the design of each implement. To adjust the upper hitch link, loosen the locking lever and turn the adjustment tube as shown in Figure 28. After the appropriate length is attained, tighten the locking lever. If correctly adjusted, the upper hitch link will be parallel or nearly parallel to the lower hitch links. • Distance ‘A’ should be 0–0.5 cm less than distance ‘B’ if the toe-in is correct. If it is not, readjust the toe-in.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKES • The tractor brakes are adjusted at the factory and should experience minimal wear if the tractor is operated normally. However, all brake pads are subject to wear and at some point the brake linkage may have to be adjusted. Turn the adjustment ferrule onto the rod as needed to shorten the rod and acquire the 0.4 cm minimum gap. • Reinstall the ferrule and internal cotter pin in the brake link. • Engage the parking brake and recheck the brake rod gaps.
SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE The service life and reliability of any machine depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrication and maintenance is a vital part of that care. Using the Lubrication and Maintenance Chart as a guide, monitor the hourmeter on the instrument panel to ensure the required maintenance procedures are performed. The maintenance schedule reflects the minimal requirements to maintain the equipment. More frequent inspections and maintenance is preferable.

ACCESSING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT QUICK FASTENER WARNING: If the tractor has been recently operated, engine surfaces (including the radiator) will be HOT. Allow the engine to cool before opening the hood, or use extreme caution to avoid burns when the hood is open. Pivot Flip up Turn QUICK FASTENER To raise the hood, locate the latch release lever in the hood notch at the front of the tractor. Lift and hold the latch release lever while lifting the hood at the hood notch. See Figure 34.
BATTERY REMOVAL CHARGING THE BATTERY WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling. Test and, if necessary, recharge the battery after the tractor has been stored for a period of time. The battery is located at the front of the tractor beneath the hood, just forward of the radiator. • A voltmeter or load tester should read 12.6 volts (DC) or higher across the battery terminals.
HEAD LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT Replace a tail light bulb as follows: The tractor is equipped with four headlight bulbs. If one of the bulbs should burn out, replace the bulb as follows: • Turn the light socket counterclockwise to align the socket tabs with the notches in the tail light reflector. • Fully raise the hood so that the hood prop cylinders hold the hood in the raised position. • Once aligned, carefully pull the light socket out of the tail light reflector.
SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Fuses are installed to protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage caused by excessive amperage. Always use the same capacity fuse for replacement. If the electrical system does not function, check for blown fuses. See Figure 39 If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, have the tractor’s electrical system checked by your Cub Cadet dealer.
Hazard Light Flasher Relay The flasher relay controls the on/off flashing of the hazard lights. If the hazard lights do not function properly, the flasher relay is probably faulty. OIL FILL PLUG/DIPSTICK Replace the relay as follows: • Remove the dash panel insert by removing the two screws. Refer to Figure 40. • Pull the wire harness from the dash opening. Cut and remove the electrical tape holding the flasher relay to the harness.
CHANGING TRANSMISSION/HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL • Apply a light coating of clean transmission oil to the gasket of the new filter. Install the filter by turning it clockwise, by hand, until the gasket contacts the filter base on the transmission housing; then tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn. • Clean around the base of the hydraulic system oil filter and remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise. Refer to Figure 45.
NOTE: A large volume of oil may drain from the transmission while performing the 25 hour change of the oil filters. If collected in a clean container and kept free of debris, this oil may be reused in the transmission/ hydraulic system. Regularly Scheduled Oil Filter Changes Change the hydrostatic transmission and hydraulic system oil filters along with the hydrostatic transmission/hydraulic system oil after every 200 hours of operation.
Check Final Reduction Gear Case Oil Check the oil level at the two final reduction gear case fill plugs. • Locate the fill plugs approximately midway up on the front of the right and left gear cases. See Figure 47. • Remove the fill plugs and check that the oil level is at the bottom edge of the fill port opening. FRONT AXLE DRAIN PLUG Figure 48 FILL PLUG RH FINAL REDUCTION GEAR CASE • Fill the axle with Cub Cadet Gear Lube until the oil level reaches the full mark on the dipstick.
LUBRICATION OF MAIN DRIVE SHAFT TIRE MAINTENANCE Lubricate both ends of the main drive shaft after every 50 hours of operation as follows: Check the tire air pressure after every 50 hours of operation or weekly. Keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressures. Improper inflation will shorten the service life of a tire. See the tire side wall, or the Tire Inflation chart, for proper inflation pressures.
• DO NOT place any part of your body beneath the tractor or start the tractor engine while the tractor is raised off the ground with a jack. 4. Fill the fuel tank with FRESH high grade Number Two diesel fuel. 5. Remove the glow plugs and pour a small amount of engine oil into each cylinder. Reinstall the glow plugs and slowly crank the engine to distribute the oil.

SECTION 5: ENGINE MAINTENANCE WARNING: Use care when servicing any component in the engine area. If the engine has recently been operated, components will be hot and could cause burns. Allow the engine to cool before servicing. Reinsert the screen, making sure that it is in the slots of the radiator frame. CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL Before each use, the oil level in the engine crankcase should be checked to see that it is filled to the correct level.
ADDING ENGINE OIL CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER WARNING: Never overfill the engine crankcase. The engine may overheat and/or damage may result if the crankcase is below the “ADD” mark or over the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. For best results, fill to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick as opposed to adding a given quantity of oil. Always check the level on the dipstick before adding more oil. The engine oil and oil filter should be changed after every 250 hours.
• Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise using an automotive type filter wrench to loosen. See Figure 55. CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL Before each use, the engine coolant level in the overflow reservoir should be checked to ensure it is within the operating range. Engine coolant absorbs heat from the engine and transfers the heat to the air flowing through the radiator. If the coolant level becomes low, the engine may overheat and could cause severe damage to the engine.
• Start the engine and allow it to run for a short period. Stop the engine. • Recheck the coolant level in the overflow reservoir and refill as needed. Reinstall the reservoir cap. Coolant is a toxic substance. Dispose of in an environmentally safe manner. Contact your area EPA office for proper disposal methods and recycling center locations. INSPECTION OF COOLING SYSTEM HOSES Check the cooling system hoses and fan belt for any cracks or deterioration after every 100 hours of operation.
• Pull the air cleaner element from the housing. See Figure 58. Draining The Fuel Filter The fuel filter is equipped with a valve to drain condensate (water) that has separated from the diesel fuel and settled at the bottom of the filter. Drain the condensate from the fuel filter before each use (Refer to Figure 59). • Stop the engine and place a suitable container beneath the filter drain valve. See Figure 59.
• Clamp the fuel line just to the rear of the fuel filter. See Figure 60. Clamp Fuel Line FUEL LINE FILTER CARTRIDGE FILTER DRAIN AIR BLEED KNOB LOCK/ UNLOCK ICONS Open the filter drain and drain the filter into the container below. Close the filter drain. • Turn the filter approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise (as viewed from bottom) to align the unlock icons. Refer to Figure 60. • Pull the filter cartridge straight downward to remove from the filter body.
