1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 3. Precautions Before Operating Your Tractor your local Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer for technical assistance. 4. Always fasten the seat belt while operating the tractor with the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) up. Check the seat belt for any damage. Replace the damaged seat belt immediately. Contact your local Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer for technical assistance.
PAGE 12
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 14. Use the handholds and running board steps when getting on and off the tractor to help prevent accidental falls. Keep the running boards clear of mud and debris. 15. Only use the implements that satisfy the requirements in this manual or are approved by your Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer. (See “4. IMPLEMENT CAPACITIES”) 16. When using front or rear mounted implements, install an appropriate weight(s) to the front or rear of your tractor to prevent upsetting of the tractor.
PAGE 13
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 3. Considerations for Safety of Children 8. Avoid accidental contact with control pedals while the engine is running, as this can cause unexpected movement of the tractor. 9. Never leave a running machine unattended. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume they will remain where you last saw them. 2. Working with Your Tractor 1.
PAGE 14
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 5. Operating Your Tractor on Slopes DO NOT: On a slope, the tractor is less stable and more prone to tip-over, possibly leading to serious injury or death. Remain very cautious when your tractor is on any slope. ●Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in. WARNING ●Before approaching a slope, select an appropriate speed setting.
PAGE 15
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 6. Traveling on a Road 8. Avoid engaging differential lock while traveling on a road. It may cause you to lose control of the tractor. 9. While traveling on a road, do not suddenly turn the steering wheel. Such an action can lead to loss in the stability of the tractor, and can cause an extremely dangerous situation. 10. While on a road, do not attempt to operate an implement.
PAGE 16
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 8. Operating the Power Take Off (PTO) 3. Before installing or operating Power Take Off (PTO)-driven implement, carefully study the manufacturer’s operator’s manual and the safety decals on the implement. 4. When installing stationary Power Take Off (PTO)drive implements, be sure to engage the parking brake securely and securely place chocks in front and behind the rear wheels. Do not approach or access any rotating component. 1.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 11. Safe Practices for Servicing Your Tractor 10. Carefully loosen the radiator cap to the first stop, and allow excessive pressure to escape, and only then remove the radiator cap. If the tractor is equipped with a coolant reserve tank, add coolant or water to the reserve tank, not to the radiator (See “Checking the Cooling System”).
PAGE 18
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 19. Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds are dangerous. 20. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Prior to disposal, determine the proper method to dispose of waste from your local Environmental Protection Agency. Recycling centers are established to properly dispose of materials in an environmentally safe fashion. 21. Use proper containers when draining fluids.

12. TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST 3. Ballast ■ Front Ballast To improve stability and traction, add ballast as needed. Heavy pulling and rear-mounted implements can cause the front wheels to lift. To cope with this situation, add ballast so that reliable steering control is maintained and tip-over of the tractor is prevented. Remove the ballast when no longer necessary. Front End Weights (option) The front end weights can be installed on the bumper.
PAGE 79
12. TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST ■ Maximum Weight Usually, five 44 lb (20 kg) weights can be installed on the tractor. If the extension is used, four additional 44 lb (20 kg) weights can be installed. In other words, a total of nine 44 lb (20 kg) weights can be installed on the tractor for an additional total weight of 396 lb (180 kg). For the information about the extension and weights being installed, contact your local Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer.
