29. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your customer service

representative for assistance.

SlopeOperation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this machine on

a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this machine on that area or serious injury could result.

Do:

1. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

3. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly. Always keep machine in gear when going down slopes to take advantage of engine braking action.

4. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.

5. Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine.

6. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid

engagement or braking could cause the front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could cause serious injury.

7. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down

the slope.

DoNot:

1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

2. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.

3. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

4. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.

5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

6. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. Over-speeding may cause the operator to lose control of the machine

resulting in serious injury or death.

7. Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded dump cart, lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5 degrees. When going down hill, the extra weight tends to push the tractor and may cause you to loose control (e.g.

tractor may speed up, braking and steering ability are reduced, attachment may jack-knife and cause tractor to

overturn).

4 I SECTION 2 -- IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. They do not understand

the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

a. Keep children out of the mowing area and in

watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

b. Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the

area.

c. Before and while backing, look behind and down for

small children.

d. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut off.

They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere

with safe machine operation.

e. Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,

doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects that may blockyour vision of a child who may run into the

path of the machine.

f. To avoid back-over accidents, always disengage

the cutting blade(s) before shifting into Reverse. If equipped, the "Reverse Caution Mode" should

not be used when children or others are around.

g. Keep children away from hot or running engines.

They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.

h. Remove key when machine is unattended to

prevent unauthorized operation.

Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this machine. Children 14 and over should read and understand

the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual and on the machine and should be trained and supervised by an adult.

Towing

1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.

2. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.

5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

6. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

Service

SafeHandling0f Gas01ine:

1. To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite. Wash your skin

and change clothes immediately.

a. Use only an approved gasoline container. b. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck

or trailer bed with a plastic linen Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle

before filling.

c. When practical, remove gas-powered equipment

from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on

a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

d. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel

tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other

sources of ignition.

f. Never fuel machine indoors. g. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine

is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.

h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 1/2

inch below bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.

i. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.

j. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and

equipment. Move machine to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.

k. To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of grass,

leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris.

I. Never store the machine or fuel container inside

where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

m. Allow a machine to cool at least five minutes before

storing.

GeneralService

1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless,

and deadly gas.

2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the

spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

3. Periodically check to make sure the blades come to complete stop within approximately (5) five seconds after operating the blade disengagement control. If the blades do not stop within the this time frame, your machine

should be serviced professionally by an authorized MTD Service Dealer.

Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected to wear during normal operation. Adjust and service as required.

SECTION 2 -- IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES S

5. Check the blade(s) and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade(s) for damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent, cracked). Replace

the blade(s) with the original equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) blade(s) only, listed in this manual. "Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety!"

6. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

7. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

8. Never tamper with the safety interlock system or other safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

9. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and ground against the engine. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage. Repair the damage before starting and operating.

10. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the machine while the engine is running.

11. Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components and replace immediately

with original equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual. "Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety!"

12. Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.

13. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

14. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.

Safety InterlockSwitches

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 Cub Cadet dealer.

The safety interlock system prevents the engine from cranking or starting unless the parking brake is engaged,

and the PTO (Blade Engage) knob is in the disengaged (OFF) position.

The engine will automatically shut off if the operator leaves the seat before engaging the parking brake.

The electric PTO (Blade Engage) clutch will automatically shut off if the operator leaves the tractor's seat with the

PTO (Blade Engage) knob in the engaged (ON) position, regardless of whether the parking brake is engaged.

With the ignition key in the NORMAL MOWING position, the electric PTO (Blade Engage) clutch will automatically

shut off if the PTO (Blade Engage) knob is moved into the engaged (ON) position with the drive pedal in position for

Mowing

WARNING! To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers,

children and pets at least 75 feet from the machine

while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

The following information will be helpful when using the cutting deck with your tractor.

discharge of materials toward roads, sidewalks,

WARNING! Plan your mowing pattern to avoid

bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction which may cause discharged material to ricochet back toward

the operator.

Do not mowat high ground speed, especially ira mulch kit or grass collector is installed.

Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass is prone to weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.

Always operate the tractor with the throttle lever in the FAST (rabbit) position while mowing

For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a

better appearance to the lawn. Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds or

extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns, NOT clear brush.

Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn.

SECTION S -- OPERATION

Maintenance&Adjustments

Maintenance

WARNING! Before performing any maintenance or

repairs, disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop

engine and remove key to prevent unintended

starting.

Refer to the Kohler Owner's Manual for all engine maintenance procedures and instructions.

NOTE: Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control devices and systems which are being done at owner's expense may be performed by any engine repair establishment

or individual. Warranty repairs must be performed by a Cub Cadet Dealer.

Changingthe EngineOil

WARNING! If the engine has been recently run, the

engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will

be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise caution to avoid burns.

NOTE:The oil filter should be changed at every oil change interval. To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:

1. Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil in the crankcase to warm up. Warm oil will flow more freely and carry away more of the engine sediment which may have

settled at the bottom of the crankcase. Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.

2. Open the tractor's hood and locate the oil drain port on the right side of the engine.

3. Pop open the protective cap on the end of the oil drain valve to expose the drain port. See Fig 6-1.

4. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick from the oil fill tube.

5. Push the oil drain hose (packed with this manual) onto the oil drain port. Route the opposite end of the hose into an

appropriate oil collection container with at least a 2.5 quart capacity, to collect the used oil.

6. Pinch the tabs on the oil drain valve, then pull outward to begin draining oil. See Fig 6-1.

7. After the oil has finished draining, push the end of the oil drain valve back in, until the tabs click into place. Re-cap

the end of the oil drain valve to keep debris from entering the drain port.

Replace the oil filter as instructed in the Kohler Owner's Manual.

Refill the engine with new oil. Refer to the Kohler Owner's Manual for information regarding the volume and weight of engine oil

Adjustments

WARNING! Shut the engine off, remove the

ignition key and engage the parking brake before making adjustments. Protect your hands by using

heavy gloves when handling the blades.

NOTE: Check the tractor's tire pressure before performing any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires on page 25 for

information regarding tire pressure.

Levelingthe Deck(FrontToRear)

The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabilizer bar that can be adjusted to level the deck from front to rear. The front of

the deck should be between 1/4-inch and %-inch lower than the rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:

1. Park the tractor parked on a firm, level surface and place the deck lift lever in the top notch.

2. Rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is parallel with the tractor.

3. Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground. The

first measurement taken should be between 1/4-inch and %-inch less than the second measurement.

Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper adjustment and proceed, if necessary.

1. Loosen (thread outward) the hex lock nut on the end of each deck hanger rod. See Fig. 6-5.

2a. To raise the front of the deck, tighten (thread inward) each

inner hex nut against the front hanger bracket.

2b. To lower the front of the deck, loosen (thread outward)

each hex nut, away from the front hanger bracket. See Fig. 6-5.

Retighten each lock nut against each hex nut when proper adjustment is achieved.

......... .........

Figure 6-5

SECTION 6 -- MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS 21

Levelingthe Deck(Sideto Side)

if the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side to side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary as follows:

1. With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the deck lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and rotate

both blades so that they are perpendicular with the tractor.

2. Measure the distance from the outside of the left blade tip to the ground and the distance from the outside of the

right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken should be equal. If they're not, proceed to the next step.

3. Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex bolt on the left deck hanger bracket. See Fig. 6-6.

/ ?

SteeringAdjustment

If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the other, or if the ball joints are being replaced due to damage or wear, the steering drag links may need to be adjusted.

Adjust the drag links so that equal lengths of each are threaded into the ball joint on the left side and the ball joint on the right

side:

1. Remove the hex nut on the top of ball joint. See Fig. 6-7.

Figure 6-6

4. Using a wrench, raise or lower the left side of the deck by turning the adjustment gear. See Fig. 6-6.

The deck is properly leveled when both blade tip measurements taken earlier are equal. Retighten the hex bolt on the left deck hanger bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.

ParkingBrakeAdjustment 2.

If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor's rear wheels can

roll with the parking brake applied (and the hydrostatic relief 3. valve open), the brake is in need of adjustment. See your Cub

Cadet dealer to have the brake properly adjusted.

Adjusting the Seat 4.

Refer to the Set-Up and Assembly section of this manual for seat adjustment instructions.

WARNING! Before operating the tractor, make sure the seat is engaged in the seat-stop. Engage the

parking brake. Stand behind the machine and pull back on seat until it clicks into place.

Figure 6-7

Thread the ball joint inward to shorten the drag link. Thread the ball joint outward to lengthen the drag link.

Replace the hex nut after proper adjustment is achieved. NOTE:Threading the ball joints too far onto the drag links

will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far. Proper toe-in is between 1/16" and 5/16".

Front

tire toe-in can be measured as follows:

Place the steering wheel in position for straight ahead travel.

In front of the axle, measure the distance horizontally from the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note the distance.

Behind the axle, measure the distance horizontally from the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note the distance.

The measurement taken in front of the axle should be between 1/16" and 5/16" less than the measurement taken

behind the axle.
