• Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Use only accessories approved for this machine by the manufacturer. Read, understand and fol low all instructions provided with the approved accessory.

• Before starting the tractor, engage the parking brake, place the PTO switch in the "OFF" position, place the li ft control lever in the down position, and make certain any remote control valve levers are in the neutral position.

• Always sit in the tractor seat when starting the engine or operating controls. Do not start the engine or operate controls while standing beside the tractor.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Chec k their proper operation regularly. Contact your Cub Cadet dealer if safety devices malfunction.

• Avoid accidental contact with control pedals while the engine is runni ng, as this can cause unexpected movement of the tractor.

• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, and stop engine before dismounting.

• Never park the tractor on a steep incline.

• Pull only from a drawbar or the l ower h itch lin ks in the down position. Mak e certain the drawbar pin is locked in p lace. Pull ing from the rea r axl e of the tractor or any point abov e the axle could cause the tractor to overturn.

• Maintain the weight balance of the tractor. Install front end weights to counterbalance heavy implements attached to the three point hitch. Do not operate the tractor with a light front end.

• Any towed vehicle with a total weight exceeding that of the tractor should be equipped its own braking system that is operational from the tractor seat.

• Do not leave equipment in the raised position.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. If local laws permit road travel, use the flashing hazard lights and SMV signs when traveling on public roadways.

• Make certain all tractor lights are illuminated when operating at night.

• Always watch where you are going, espe cially at blind corners, trees, or other objec ts that ca n obscure your vision.

• Check overhead clearance carefully before driving under power l ines, wires, bridge s 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.

• To avoid upsets , drive the tracto r with care an d at a safe speed. Use extra caution when operating over rough ground, when crossing ditches or slopes, and when turning corners.

• If the tractor becomes stuck, use reverse to free the tractor to prevent tractor upset.

2. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a maj or factor related to los s 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 y ou feel uneasy on it, do not operate this unit on that area or serious injury could result.

DO:

• Operate up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes , ruts or bumps. U neven terrain could overturn the mac hine. Tal l grass can hid e such obstacles.

• Place the transmi ssion in the low range. when climbing or descending slopes. Always keep machine in gear when going down slopes to take advantage of engine braking action.

• Follow the manufa cturers recommendations for counterweights to improve stability.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid engagement or braking could cause t he front of the machine to

lift and rapidly fli p over backwards which coul d cause serious injury.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disen gage the PTO and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

DO NOT:

• Do not turn on slope s unless necessary; then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

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

3. CHILDREN

• Tragic accide nts ca n occu r if the oper ator i s not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine. Never assume children will remain where you last saw them.

• Keep childr en out of the operating area an d in watchful care of an adult other than the operator.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind and down for small children.

• Never carry children . They may fal l off and be seriously injur ed or interfere with safe machin e operation.

• Never allow children under 16 years old to operate the machine. Bylaws may stipulate a different minimum age. Children 16 years and over should only op erate machine under close parental supervision and proper instruction.

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

Dealer. The safety i nterlock syst em prevents

Cadet

the engine from cranking or starting unless the brake pedal is fully depressed, and the PTO is

“OFF”.

• The safety interlock system will shut off the engine if the operator leaves the seat before engaging the parking brake.

• The safety interlock system will shut off the engine if the ope rator leaves the seat with the PTO “ON”, regardless of whether the brake lock is engaged.

NOTE:

The PTO switch must be moved to the

Cub

“OFF” position to restart the engine. If the reverse override fu nction had bee n activated, it will remain activated until the ignition switch is turned to the "OFF" position.

• The safety interlock system will shut off the PTO if the unless the reverse override function is activated.

FUELING THE TRACTOR

Fill the fuel tank with only clean, fre sh, diesel fuel. Fuel with a cetane number of 45 is recommended, but fuel with a minimum cetane number of 40 is acceptable. To ensure the freshness of the fuel, purchase fuel in a quantity tha t can be used within 30 days. NOTE:

DO NOT USE KEROSENE OR GASOLINE

is depressed,

in your diesel engine. Damage to the engine will occur.

Generally a good grade Number Two Diesel Fuel should be used in your diesel en gine. However, in extremely cold temp eratures a qualit y Number One Diesel Fuel, or a blend of Number O ne an d Num ber Two Diesel fuels should be used. In most areas, diesel fuel is prop erly blended for seasonal use as ambient temperatures change. Therefore, it is important to monitor fuel purchases so that seasonal grade fuels are not carried over after the average ambient temperature has changed.

WARNING: Never fill the fuel tank to the top of the filler neck. Expansion could result in overflow through the vents in the cap, allowing fuel to come in contact with the operator.

• Do not fill the fuel tank when the engine is running or while the engine is hot.

• The fuel fill c ap is located on the fen der to the left of the seat. Unscrew the fuel cap and fill tank from an approve d container. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room for expansion.

• Tighten the fuel c ap securely, and immediately wipe up any spilled fuel.

• To minimize condensation, keep the fuel tank as full as possibl e wi tho ut fi ll in g to ca pac ity . I t is a good practice to fill the f uel tank at the en d of the day to reduce overnight condensation.

• Do not allow the fu el tank to run dry. Running out of fuel requires bleeding air and repriming the fuel system.

WARNING: Fuel in the engine injection system is under high pressure. If not a qualified mechanic, do not attempt to service the fuel injection system. Do not use your hand to check for leaks.

NEW TRACTOR BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

Proper care during the first hours of operation will help to assure optimal performance from your ne w tractor.

• Never operate a new engin e imm ediately under full load. Allow the engine to warm up.

• Avoid operating the engine for prolonged periods at either high or low speeds with no load.

• Use the transmission’s low speed range for heavy loads to avoid lu gging of the engine due to overload.

• Closely monitor the engine oil and coolant levels, and keep filled to the recommended levels.

• After the first ten hours of operation, check all of the front and rear wheel bolts. If necessary , retighten to the following torque:

Front Wheels — 74 Nm Rear Wheels — 108 Nm

• Perform all break-in maintenance procedures found in the MAINTENANCE section.

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.

• 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 b y your

If the engine does not start w ithin this time, turn the key to “OFF” and wait at least one minute to allow the engine’s starter motor to cool. Try again after waiting.

• After the engine has started, slowly move the throttle lever to the idle position. Allow the engine to idle for approximately three to five minutes before putting the engine under load.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

Ensure that the correct viscosity grade of lubricating oil is used for the ambient temperature range in which the engine will run, as shown in the lubrication table in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual. Place the th rottle co ntrol in the low idl e (SLOW) position if the temperature is below 32°F (0°C), then follow the normal engine starting instructions above. Allow the eng ine additional time to warm up.

USING JUMPER CABLES TO START ENGINE

WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gasses. Make certain the area is well ventilated, wear gloves and eye protection, and avoid sparks or flames near the battery.

If the battery loses power and is unable to adequately crank the engin e to start it, the aid of a booster battery may be necessary. Connect the booster battery as follows:

• Connect the ends of one jumper cable to the positive terminals of both the disabled tractor battery and the booster battery.

• Connect one end of the other cable to the booster battery’s negative terminal.

• Connect the other end of that cable to the engine block or frame of the disabled tractor, as far from the battery as possible.

• Start the disabled tractor following the normal starting instructions previously provided; then disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse order of connection.

• Have the tractor’s electrical system checked and repaired as soon as possible to eliminate the need for jump starting.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

• Place the PTO switch in the “OFF” position.

• Place the throttle control as follows:

- If the engine has been operated at low loads ,

place the throttle control lever in the “SLOW” position and allow th e engi ne to i dle for about one minute.

- If the engine has been operate d at high l oad,

run the engine at approximately 1/2 throttle for three to five minutes to reduce the en gine coolant and oil temperatu res. Then move the throttle control to the "SLOW" position.

• Turn the ignitio n key to the “OFF” position an d remove the key from the ignition switch.

NOTE:

Always remove the ke y fro m th e ig ni tio n switch to prevent accidental starting or battery discharge if the equipment is left unattended.

DRIVING THE TRACTOR

WARNING: Avoid sudden starts, excessive speed and sudden stops. Do not leave the seat of the tractor without disengaging the PTO and engaging the parking brake. If leaving the tractor unattended, turn the ignition key off and remove key.

• Adjust the operator ’s seat to the most comfortable position that allows you to operate all controls and pedal s. See seat adjustment in th e

ADJUSTMENTS section.

WARNING: DO NOT use the seat belt if the ROPS is in the folded position or has been removed from the tractor.

• Adjust the se at bel t to fit s nugly but c omfortab ly around your lap, then buckle the seat belt. Refer to ADJUSTMENTS section.

• Shift the transmi ssion Hi/ Lo range sh ift lever on the right fender to the desired speed setting. Refer to USING THE HI/LO RANGE SHIFT LEVER in paragraphs below.

• Use the trac tor and /or the auxiliary hydrauli c lift lever(s) to raise all tractor attachments from the ground if transporting the tractor to a work site.

• Depress the brake pedal to release the parking brake, then slowly release the brake pedal.

• Move the throttle handle to the position where the engine operates best for the load to be handled (normally full throttle).

• Slowly depress either the front or rear of the forward/rever se pedal to move t he tractor in the desired direction. Refer to USING THE

FORWARD/REVERSE PEDAL.

DRIVING ON SLOPES

WARNING: Do not operate on inclines with a slope in excess of 15 degrees (a rise of approximately 25 cm every 1 Meter). The tractor could overturn and cause serious injury.

IMPORTANT:

Always shift the transmission into the LOW speed range BEFORE beginning the climb or descent of any slop

Operate the tractor up and down slopes, never across slopes. Do not drive so that the tractor may tip over sideways.

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. If the tractor cannot negotiate the slope in reverse, the slope is too steep to be worked.

Avoid turns when drivin g on a slope. If a turn must be made, turn down the slo pe. Turning up a slope greatly increases the chance of a roll over.

Avoid stopping when driving up a slope. If it is necessary to stop while drivin g up a slope, start up smoothly and carefully to reduce the possibility of flipping the tractor over backward.

STOPPING THE TRACTOR

• Fully depress the brake pedal to bring the tra ctor to a complete stop. Push downward on the parking brake lever and release the pedal to engage the parking brake. Refer to Figure 15.

• Disengage the PTO using the PTO switch.

USING THE HYDRAULIC LIFT LEVER

The hydraulic lift sy stem 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 hy draul ic li ft lev er is mov ed to a higher or lower s et tin g, t he sy s tem r epo si tio ns the equipment and maintains that selected position.

• To raise an attachment using the hydraulic lift system, the engine must be running.

• Generally, an attachment can be lowered with the engine running or off.

• There is a direct relationship between the height of the equi pment and the positio n of the lever in its slot. Operate the equipment to determine your preferred height setting and, consequently, the positio n of the lift lever in its slot.

• Move the lift lever forward in the slot to the position that lowers the equipment to the desired height setting. See Figure 18.

“ON DEMAND” FOUR WHEEL DRIVE

The “On Demand” Four Wheel Drive system automatically delivers power to the front axle whenever the need for add itional traction is sen sed by the transmissi on. No action from the operator is required for engagement.

TRACTOR WEIGHTING

When implements are installed on either the front or rear of the tractor, the normal balance of the tr actor is altered.

• As a rear mounted implement is raised to the transport position, the balance point of the tractor shifts rearward, which may result in a loss of steering control and tractor stability.

• When a front mounted imple ment is raised, the balance point shif ts forwar d and may r esult in a loss of traction and stability.

To counterbalance these weight shifts, weight should be added to the tracto r in the form of either cast iron weights or liquid ballast. However, only enough weight should be added to obtain good traction, control, and stability. Exces sive weight will unnecessarily load down the tractor’s engine and transmission.

NOTE:

When adding weight to the tractor, it may be necessary to increase the inflation pressure in the tires.

Front Weights

To counterbalance three point hitch mounted equipment, a weight bracket/bumper kit and cast iron weights are available from your

Cub Cadet

dealer.

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.

For all other rear mounted equipment, follow the guidelines provided in the implement’s Operator’s Manual to determine ho w much weight is needed to counterbalance the equipment.

If guidelines are not av ailable, ballast th e tractor so that a minimum of approximately 40% of the machine weight is on the front wheels.

Weighting the Rear of the Tractor

Adding weight to the rear of the tractor is not required for most

Cub Cadet

front mounted equipment currently available for this tractor. However, if installing only the optional front end loader (without the back hoe), weight must be added to the rear of the tractor. The most common methods of adding wei ght are fi lling the re ar wheels with liquid ballast (usually a calcium chloride and water solution) or mounting a rear weight box.

Liquid Ballast

Properly filling the rear tires with liquid ballast increases the weight of each rear wheel to approximately 90 kg, which should provide adequate counterbalance.

Because special equipment and a familiarity with the practice is required, only a qualified tire technician should perform this procedure. Consult with your

Cub Cadet

dealer about having liquid ballast added to your tires, and for any special maintenance instructions after the procedure is performed.

Rear Weight Box

A weight box will provide adequat e counterbalance if the following criteria is met:

• The weight box and contents must total a

minimum of 90 kg.

• The weight b ox must be posi tioned a minimu m

of approximately 5.8 cm rearward of the rear axle, and be carried n o more than 30.4 cm from the ground.

If the weight box is positioned closer to the rear axle or carried higher, additional weight must be added to effectively counterbalance the front loader.

SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE SEAT

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.

WARNING: Do not adjust the seat when the tractor is moving, as this could cause the operator to lose momentary control of the tractor and result in an accident.

• To adjust the seat, pivot the seat adjustment lever to the left and hold while r epositioni ng the seat to the desired position.

• After repositi oning th e seat, releas e the lever to lock the seat in position. Slide the seat either slightly forward or rearward to assure it is locked or until engagement of the lock is felt. See Figure 25.

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 Mai ntenance 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.

Make certain tha t all lubric ation fitting s are inst alled and functioning. Wipe aw ay all old grease and dirt from the lube fittings to prevent foreign materials from entering as the new gr ease is applied. Use a

pressure lubricating gun to force in new grease. Apply pressure un til c lea n grea se emerges from the lubrication point.

Miscellaneous working parts not provided with lubrication fittings should be oiled regularly with a good grade of lubricating oil.

Lubricate the tractor thorou ghly before taki ng it to a remote location for a prolonged period of time.

Lubricant is cheap. Use plen ty of it. Worn parts can be expensive to replace.

Store your supply of lubricating grease and oil in clean, covered conta iners t o pro tect th em from d ust and dirt. Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean.

LUBRICATION OF FWD DRIVE SHAFT

Lubricate both ends of the FWD drive shaft with Cub Cadet 251H EP grease afte r every 50 h ours of operation. The FWD drive shaft can be accessed from beneath the tractor.

TIRE MAINTENANCE

Check the tire air pres sure after every 50 hours o f 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. Observe the following guidelines:

• Do not inflate a tire above the maximum pressure shown either on the sidewall of the tire or the Tire Inflation chart.

• Do not reinflate a ti re that has been run flat or seriously under inflated. Have a qualified tire mechanic inspect and service the tire.

WARNING: Servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should service and mount tires.

WHEEL BOLT TORQUE

The front and rear wheel bolts should be retorqued after the first ten hours of operation and every 100 hours thereaft er, or if the wheel assembly has been removed. Using a torque wrench, retighten the bolts as follows:

Rear Wheels—In a staggered pattern, retor qu e th e rear wheel bolts to 108 Nm.

Front Wheels—In a staggered pattern, retorque the front wheel bolts to 74 Nm.

MAINTENANCE OF THE ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)

Periodically (at least every six months) visually inspect the ROPS for dama ge and loose faste ners. If damage is noted, contact your Cub Cadet dealer.

If an accident has occurred which may have damaged the ROPS, have the ROPS thoroughly inspected by your Cub Cadet dealer.

WARNING: To ensure the structural integrity of the ROPS to provide operator protection, do not attempt to straighten or weld the ROPS. A damaged ROPS should be replaced.

If the ROPS is removed for any reason, make su re the proper hardware is use d to reinstall it, and that the recommended torque va lues are applied to the fasteners.

When replacing or reinstalling the ROPS, apply

Loctite

242 to the thr eads of the bolts an d torque

the bolts to 88 to 94 Nm.

If you must service the t ires, observe the following safety precautions to avoid an injury or fatality:

• Make certain the rim is clean and free of rust.

• Lubricate the flanges of the rim and beads of the tire with soap solution.

WARNING: When seating the beads, never inflate a tire over 2.4 bar. Inflating a tire with unseated beads beyond

2.4 bar could break the bead or rim with sufficient explosive force to cause a serious injury.

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL

Before each use, the engine coolant level in the overflow reservoi r shou ld be c hecked to ens ure it is within the operating range. En gine coolant absorbs heat from the eng ine and transfers the heat to the air flowing through the ra diator. If the coolant level becomes low, the engine may overheat and could cause severe damage to the engine.

Use a permanent typ e antifreeze containing corrosion and rust inhibitors. Dilute the antifreeze with water at a 1:1 ratio to mix the coolant solution (50% antifreeze : 50% water).

NOTE:

Distilled water is recommend ed for the coolant solution IF your tap water has a high mineral content. Minerals cause scaling in the engine and the radiator coolant passages. System efficiency will be greatly red uc ed ov er ti me an d s ev ere engine damage may result.

• Check the coolan t level wh en the engi ne is cold

and the tractor is on a level surface.

• Raise the tractor hood and check the coolant

right

level in the ov e rflo w res er vo ir on th e

side of

the engine. Refer to Figure 55.

• If the coolant level is below the "LOW" mark,

remove the cap from the reservoir and add coolant solution to the "FULL" mark.

NOTE:

The cooling system is a closed type. Normally, to prevent air from entering the system, the radiator cap should not be removed.

If the overflow res ervoir is empty, the radiator cap should be removed and the coolant level in the radiator checked before adding coolant to the reservoir. If necessary, first refill the sy stem t hroug h the radiator filler neck as follows:

WARNING: It is dangerous to remove the radiator cap when the system is hot. Allow the system to cool before removing the radiator cap.

• Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise to the

first stop to release any pressure. Refer to Figure 50.

• Push downward on the cap and turn counter-

clockwise until the cap stops then lift cap off.

• Slowly pour coolan t into the filler neck unti l the

level reaches the bottom of the filler neck overflow flange.

• Wait a few minutes to allow as much air as

possible to escape through the filler neck, then reinstall the radiator cap.

• Fill the overflow reservoir to the "FULL" mark.

• Start the engin e 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.

INSPECTION OF COOLING SYSTEM HOSES

Check the cooling system hoses and fan belt for any cracks or deterioratio n after every 100 hours of operation. Check for loose hose connections. Replace any damaged hos es and tighten any loos e connections. Replace a worn or damaged fan belt.

CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT

The engine coolant sh ould b e dra ined a nd repla ced with new coolant solution yearly.

The dry capacity of the cooling system is approximately 5.2 Liter. Dilute the antifreeze with water at a 1:1 ratio to mix the coolant solution (50 % antifreeze : 50 % water).

Change the engine coolant as follows:

• Drain the coolant wh en the en gine is cold.

• Place the tractor on a level surface and raise the tractor hood .

• Slide the overflow reservoir upward and off the reservoir bracket to access the radiator drain plug.
