SECTION 1: IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
This symbol points out important safety instructions which, if not followed, could endanger the personal safety and/or
property of yourself and others. Read and follow all instructions in this manual before attempting to operate this machine.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in personal injury. When you see this symbol—HEED ITS WARNING.
This mower deck was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this manual. As with any type of power
equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in injury. This mower deck is capable of amputating
hands and feet or throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
Turn off blades when not mowing.
GENERAL OPERATION
1.
Read, understand and follow all instructions in the manual
and on the machine before starting. Keep this manual in a
safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering
replacement parts
Only allow responsible individuals familiar with the instructions
2.
to operate the machine. Know the controls and how to stop the
machine quickly.
Do not put hands or feet under the cutting deck or near
3.
rotating parts.
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc. which
4.
could be picked up and thrown by the blades. A small object
may have been overlooked and could be accidentally thrown
by the mower in any direction and cause injury to you or a
bystander. To help avoid a thrown objects injury, keep children,
animals, bystanders and helpers at least 75 feet from the
mower while it is in operation. Always wear safety glasses
with side shields or safety goggles during operation or while
performing an adjustment or repair, to protect eyes from
foreign objects. Stop the blades when crossing gravel drives,
walks or roads.
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop
5.
machine if anyone enters the area.
Never carry passengers.
6.
Disengage the blades before shifting into reverse and backing
7.
up. Always look down and behind before and while backing.
Be aware of the mower and attachment discharge direction
8.
and do not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower
without either the entire grass catcher or the chute guard in
place.
Slow down before turning. Operate the machine smoothly.
9.
Avoid erratic operation and excessive speed.
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off
10.
the blades, place the transmission in neutral, set the parking
brake, stop the engine and remove key before leaving the
area.
11.
Stop the engine and wait until the blades come to a complete
12.
stop before (a) removing the grass catcher or unclogging
chute, or (b) making any repairs, adjusting or removing any
grass or debris.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
13.
Do not operate the machine while under the influence of
14.
alcohol or drugs.
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
15.
Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine onto
16.
a trailer or truck. Be sure truck is wide enough and on a firm,
level surface. Use loading ramps and attach them properly to
the truck bed. Use a heavy-duty trailer to transport the tractor.
Never make a cutting height adjustment while the engine is
17.
running if the operator must dismount to do so.
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting slacks
18.
and shirts. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewelry. They
can be caught in moving parts. Never operate a unit in bare
feet, sandals or sneakers.
Check overhead clearance carefully before driving under
19.
power lines, wires, bridges or low hanging tree branches,
before entering or leaving buildings, or in any other situation
where the operator and /or roll bar may be struck, which could
result in serious injury.
Disengage the power take-off, set the parking brake and shift
20.
into neutral before attempting to start the engine.
Your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass. Do not
21.
attempt to mow through unusually tall, dry grass (e.g. pasture)
or piles of dry leaves. Debris may build up on the mower deck,
presenting a potential fire hazard.
Use only accessories approved for the machine by Cub Cadet
22.
Yanmar. Read, understand and follow all instructions provided
with approved accessories.

SLOPE OPERATION
1.
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.
2.
For your safety, use the slope gauge (provided in tractor
Operator’s Manual) to measure slopes before operating the
unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15
degrees, as shown by the slope gauge, do not operate the unit
on that area or serious injury could result.
DO:
Mow up and down slopes, not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc.
Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Use slow speeds. Choose a low enough gear so that you will not
have to stop or shift while on the slope. Always keep the machine
in gear when going down slopes to take advantage of engine
braking action.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or
counterweights to improve stability.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These
can change the stability of the machine.
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.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
DO NOT:
Do not turn on slopes unless absolutely necessary. If necessary,
turn slowly and gradually across and down slope, if possible.
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 or
ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the
ground.
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. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.
Keep children out of the mowing area and in watchful care of
1.
an adult other than the operator.
Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the area.
2.
Before and when backing up, look behind and down for small
3.
children.
Never carry children, even with the blades off. They may fall
4.
off and be seriously injured or may interfere with safe machine
operation.
Never allow children under 14 years old to operate the
5.
machine. Children 14 years and older should only operate
the machine under close parental supervision and proper
instruction.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees
6.
or other objects that may obscure your vision of a child or
other hazard.
Remove the key when the machine is left unattended to
7.
prevent unauthorized operation.
SERVICE
Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They
1.
are extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Use only an approved container.
a.
Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine hot
b.
or running. Allow the engine to cool at least two minutes
before refueling.
Replace the fuel cap securely and wipe off any spilled
c.
fuel before starting the engine as it may cause a fire or
explosion.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
d.
of ignition.
Never refuel the machine indoors because fuel vapors
e.
will accumulate in the area.
Never store the fuel container or machine inside where
f.
there is an open flame or spark, such as a gas hot water
heater, space heater or furnace.
Never run a machine inside a closed area. Engine exhaust
2.
fumes can be lethal.
To reduce fire hazard, keep the machine free of grass, leaves
3.
or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow the
machine to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, stop the engine and
4.
remove key. Make certain the blades and all moving parts
have stopped.
Frequently check all nuts, bolts and screws for proper
5.
tightness to ensure the equipment is in safe working condition,
especially the blade nuts. Also visually inspect blades for
damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent, cracked). Replace only
with blades that meet original equipment specifications.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper opera-
6.
tion regularly. Use all guards as instructed in this manual.
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine and thoroughly
7.
inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage before
restarting and operating the mower.
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear
8.
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing blades.
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as
9.
required.
Muffler and engine become hot during operation and can
10.
cause a burn. Allow to cool down before touching.
Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the
11.
engine. Excessive engine speeds are extremely dangerous.

Installing Subframe and Lift Bracket Assemblies
NOTE: The RH and LH subframe assemblies can be installed
without removing the rear wheels. But limited space to remove
and reinstall fasteners makes it more difficult and increases the
possibility of an improper installation. It is recommended that the
respective rear wheel be removed from that side of the tractor
when installing the RH or LH subframe assembly.
WARNING!: When raising any part of the tractor
from the ground, use appropriate jack stands to
support the tractor. Do not work on the tractor
when supported only by a lifting jack.
Installing RH Subframe and RH Lift Bracket Assemblies
• Use a jack to raise the right rear of the tractor so that the tire
is off of the ground. Position a jack stand to support the tractor. Remove the right rear tire from the tractor and roll aside.
• If a lower hitch link sway spring is installed between the two
lift links of the 3-point hitch, unhook the chain from the links.
• Remove the klik pin from the end of lower hitch link pin.
While supporting the sway chain clevis links, slide the link pin
inward (to the left) to disengage the pin from the two clevis
links and the hitch link pin suppor t bracket. See Figure 4.
• Locate the three holes in a triangular pattern on the tractor’s
clutch housing. Remove the protective plugs from the lower
two holes. Refer to Figure 5.
• Raise the front of the RH subframe assembly and align its two
upper holes with the two lower holes of the clutch housing.
Insert the two hex cap screws(4) and thread into the clutch
housing. Do not fully tighten now. Refer to Figure 5.
• ONLY If the RH Loader Mount is installed. Remove the two
lower screws fastening the rear of the loader mount to the
tractor clutch housing. Align the upper holes of the RH loader
adapter bracket (installed on RH subframe assembly earlier)
with the loader mount holes. Insert the longer hex screws( 5)
and thread into the clutch housing. Do not fully tighten now.
Scrap (or store for possible future use) the screws removed
from the loader mount.
Figure 4
• Continue to slide the hitch link pin to the left to remove the
spacers and disengage the RH lower hitch link. See Figure 4.
• Remove the four screws (3 short and 1 long) securing the
hitch link pin support bracket to the tractor’s RH rear axle
housing and remove the suppor t bracket. Retain the four
screws and discard (or store) the bracket and spacers.
• Position the RH subframe assembly (1) along the right side of
the tractor.
• Loosen, but do not remove the four hex flange lock nuts and
screws securing the subframe mounting bracket to the plate
on the front of the subframe rail. Refer to Figure 5.
Figure 5
• Lift the rear of the RH subframe assembly and align the three
holes in the rear subframe mtg./link pin support bracket with
the three holes in the RH rear axle housing. Insert the shorter
hex screws removed earlier and thread partially into the axle
housing holes. Do not tighten the screws now. See Figure 6
