free the tractor to prevent tractor upset.
2. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a maj or 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 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 c an hid e
such obstacles.
• Place the transmis sion 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 manufactu rers 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 mac hine 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 slopes un less necessary; then,
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The mower could su ddenly turn
over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or
ditch, or if an edge caves in.

SECTION 2: OPERATION
ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)
This tractor is equipped with a foldable Rollover
Protection Structure (RO PS) and seat belts. When
used together they are effective in r educing inju ries
to the operator in the event of a n accidental tractor
rollover. 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.
Figure 12
WARNING: Always wear the seat belt
when operating the tractor equipped
with a ROPS. However, if the ROPS is in
the folded position or has been removed, the seat belt must not be used.
Use the following guidelines when using a tractor
equipped with a ROPS:
• Be aware of o ve rhead c le aranc es in t he ar ea o f
operation. Check for cl earan ce of door (or gate)
openings and other overhead objects such as
utility lines and tree branches. Overhead
objects could catch the ROPS and upset the
tractor.
• Do not modify th e RO PS b y dr il li ng ho le s for, or
welding accessories to the structure.
• Do not use the ROPS to pull objects with the
tractor. Use ONLY the tractor drawbar for
pulling.
• In the event of an accident, have the ROPS
carefully inspected and, if necessary, replaced
by your
Cub Cadet
dealer. Do not attempt to
repair the ROPS.
FOLDING THE ROPS
The foldable ROPS feature allows the operator to
quickly lower the ROPS to opera te in areas where
there is low overhead clearance. However, the
ROPS should be used in the lowered position only
when absolutely necessary. Operate with the
ROPS in the ‘up’ position whenever possible.
WARNING: A folded ROPS does not
provide rollover protection. When the
ROPS is in the folded position, the seat
belt must NOT be used.
Reposition the ROPS as follows:
• Slightly loos en the two hex screw s on the front
of the ROPS to relieve their pressure on the
ROPS. See Figure 13.
• Remove the two i nternal cotter p ins, and, while
supporting the ROPS, withdraw the c levis pins.
See Figure 13. Carefully lower the ROPS.
• Reinstall the clevis pins and cotter pins for
storage.

SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
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 inter lock syst em prevents
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 opera tor leaves the seat with the
PTO “ON”, regardless of whether the brake
lock is engaged.
NOTE:
The PTO switch must be moved to the
“OFF” position to restart the engine. If the
reverse override func tion had been a ctivated, 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
reverse control pedal
is depressed,
unless the reverse override function is
activated.
FUELING THE TRACTOR
Fill the fuel tank with only clean, fresh , 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 that can be us ed within
30 days.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE KEROSENE OR GASOLINE
in your diesel engine. Damage to the engine will
occur.
Generally a good grade Number Two Diesel Fuel
should be used in your diesel engin e. However, in
extremely cold temp eratures a qualit y Number One
Diesel Fuel, or a blend of Number One an d Num ber
Two Diesel fuels should be used. In most areas,
diesel fuel is prop erly blended for seasonal u se as
ambient temperatures change. Therefore, it is
important to monitor fuel purchases so that
seasonal grade fuels ar e 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 smoke while refueling t he tractor.
• Do not fill the fuel tank when the engine is
running or while the engine is hot.
• The fuel fill cap is located on the fender to the
left of the seat. Unscrew the fuel cap and fill
tank from an approved c ontainer. 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 possible wi tho ut fi ll in g to capacity. It is
a good practice to fi ll the f uel tank at the en d of
the day to reduce overnight condensation.
• Do not allow the fuel ta nk to run dry. Running
out of fuel req uires bleeding air and reprimin g
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 new
tractor.
• Never operate a new en gine i mmedi ately 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 luggi ng 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.

which the engine will run, as shown in the
lubrication table in the MAINTENANCE section of
this manual. Place the thro ttle 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

(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
e.
Operate the tractor up and down slopes, never
across slopes. Do not drive so that the tractor may
tip over sidewa ys.
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 driving on a s lope. If a turn must
be made, turn down the slope. 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 driving up a slo pe, 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 tractor to a complete stop. Push downward on the
parking brake lever and release the pedal to
engage the parking brake. Refer to Figure 15.

trailers, etc.) or dragging loads.
Raise the lower links o f the three po int h itch to their
highest position to prevent interference with the
towed equipment.
IMPORTANT:
When transporting pull-behind
equipment, always use a safety chain to supplement the connection between the tractor and
towed equipment. The safety chain must have
a strength rating equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the equipment being towed.
USING THE AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC VALVE
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.
The male and female hydraulic couplers, located
beneath the right running board, are marked with
color coded washers that should match the color
coded hydraulic lines of
Cub Cadet
equipment. See
Figure 23.
IMPORTANT: If color coding is not present, note

“ON DEMAND” FOUR WHEEL DRIVE
The “On Demand” Four Wheel Drive system
automatically delivers power to the front axle
whenever the need for additi onal traction is sen sed
by the transmission. No action from t he 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 trac tor
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 forward an d may res ult in a
loss of traction and stability.
To counterbalance these weight shifts, weight
should be added to the tractor 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. Excess ive 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 m uc h w eig ht is ne ede d t o
counterbalance the equipment.
If guidelines are not avai lable, 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 weight are fi lling the rear 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 minimum
of approximately 5.8 cm rearward of the rear
axle, and be carried n o mo re tha n 30 .4 c m fro m
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.

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 linkag e
may have to be adjusted.
Check the brake linkage as follows:
• Place the tractor on a level surface.
• Stop the tractor engine a nd engage the parkin g
brake.
• From the right/rear side of the tractor, check the
gap between the flange of the brake rod and
the ferrule connected to the tra nsmission brake
arm. The gap should b e a minimum of 0.4 cm .
See Figure 32.
• Check the gap of the brak e rod on the l eft side
of the tractor in the same manner.
• If either gap is less than 0.4 cm , the brake rod
should be adjusted.
Adjust the brake linkage as follows:
• Disengage the parking brake.
• Remove the internal cotter pin and disengage
the adjustment ferrule at the front of the brake
rod from the brake link. See Figure 32.
Figure 32
• 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. Repeat the abo ve procedures
as necessary to obtain the specified minimum
gap.
ADJUSTING HYDRAULIC LIFT FEEDBACK ROD
Correct adjustment of the feedback rod (Refer to
Figure 33) is instr umental in proper operati on of the
position control hydraulic lift system.
The feedback rod is adjusted at the factory and
should not require further adjustment. Because of
the precise nature of the feedback rod adjust ment,
it is recommended that any adjustment be performed by a qualified mecha nic at your Cub Cadet
dealer.
If a high pitched squ eal continues to emit from the
lift valve after repositioning the lift, or the position
control feature is no t functioning properly , have the
position control link age inspe cted by y our local Cu b
Cadet dealer. Refer to Figure 33.

SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
The service life and reliability of any machine
depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubric ation 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 ins pections and maintenance is preferable.
Make certain that a ll lubric ation fitting s are instal led
and functioning. Wipe away al l old grease and dirt
from the lube fittings to prevent foreign materials
from entering as the new grea se is applied. Use a
pressure lubricating gun to force in new grease.
Apply pressure until c lea n gr ea se eme rg es fro m th e
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 taking it to a
remote location for a prolonged period of time.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Wo rn parts can
be expensive to replace.
Store your supply of lubricating grease and oil in
clean, covered containe rs t o protec t them from d ust
and dirt. Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean.

the reverse order.
WARNING: Always connect the positive lead to the battery before connecting the negative lead.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Test and, if necessary, recharge the battery after
the tractor has been stored for a period of time.
• A voltmeter or load tester should read 12.6 volts
(DC) or higher across the battery terminals.
• Charge the battery with a 12-volt battery
charger at a MAXIMUM rate of 10 amps.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The battery is filled with battery acid and then
sealed at the factory. However, even a
“maintenance free” battery requires some
maintenance to ensure its proper life cycle.
• Spray the terminals and exposed wire with a
battery terminal sealer, or coat the terminals
with a thin coat of greas e or petroleum jelly, to
protect against corrosion.
• Always keep the battery cables and terminals
clean and free of corrosion.
• Always keep the terminal covers in place and
closed over the battery terminals.

TIRE MAINTENANCE
Check the tire air pres sure 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. 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.
If you must service the tir es, 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.
• Inflate the tire to seat the beads. If the tire
beads have not seated at or before 2.4 bar,
allow the tire to defl ate. Reposition the tire on
the rim, lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges,
and reinflate until seate d – up to a maximum o f
2.4 bar.
• After the beads have seated, adjust the inflation pressure to the recommended operating
pressure.
• Do not use a damaged rim, or attempt to repa ir
a rim by brazing, welding, or pounding out.
• Make certain the ja ck used to raise the tractor
has a weight capacity adequate for lifting the
tractor.
• Place the tractor on a firm, level surface and
position jack stands to support the raised
tractor while repairing tires.

CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
The engine oil and oil filte r should be chang ed after
every 250 hours. Refer to the LUBRICATION
TABLE in the MAINTENANCE SECTION of this
manual for the quant ity of oil nee ded, and to determine the proper type of oil to u se for the c onditions
under which the engine will be operated.
WARNING: Because the engine is run
prior to draining the oil, the engine may
be hot. Use caution to avoid burning
yourself on engine surfaces.
Run the engine for a few minute s to allow the oil in
the crankcase to warm u p. Warm oil will flow more
freely and carry away more e ngine impurities. Use
care to avoid burns from hot oil. While the eng ine
oil is warm, proceed as follows:
• Place the trac tor on a level surfac e and engag e
the parking brake. Stop th e tractor engine and
remove the ignition key.
• Clean around th e base of th e oil fil ter, the oil fill

needed, add oil to bring the oil lev el up to the
"FULL" mark.
WARNING: Never overfill the engine
crankcase. The engine may overheat
and/or damage may result. 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.
Dispose of used oil in an environmentally
safe manner. If necessary, contact your
area EPA office for proper disposal
procedures and recycling cen t er loca tio ns .
IMPORTANT:
The oil fill cap and dipstick must
always be installed securely in place when the
engine is running. Severe engine damage could
result from failure to do so.
CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
Before each use, the engine coolant level in the
overflow reservoi r shou ld be che cked to e nsur e it is
within the operating range. En gine coolant absorbs
heat from the engin e and transfers the heat to the
air flowing through the radi ator. If the coolant level
becomes low, the engine may over heat 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 coo lant 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 over ti me an d s ever e en gin e
damage may result.
• Check th e coolant level wh en the engi ne is cold
and the tractor is on a level surface.
• Raise the tractor hood and check the coolant
level in the ov e r flo w r es erv o ir on th e
right
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 reser voir 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 sys tem 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 until th e
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 fil ler neck, then
reinstall the radiator cap.
• Fill the overflow reservoir to the "FULL" mark.

INSPECTION OF COOLING SYSTEM HOSE S
Check the cooling system hoses and fan belt for
any cracks or deterioratio n after every 100 hour s of
operation. Check for loose hose connections.
Replace any damaged hoses and tighten any loose
connections. Replace a worn or damaged fan belt.
CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT
The engine coolant sh ould b e draine d and r epla 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 when th e en gi ne is col d.
• 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 dr ain plug.
• Locate th e radiator drain plug in th e lower
right
rear corner of th e r a di at or. See F igu re 56.
Figure 56
• Place a suitable container beneath the drain
plug and remove the cap from the overflow
reservoir.
• Turn the drain plug counterclockwise to remove. Allow as much of the old coolant as possible to drain from the system.
Coolant is a toxic subs tance. Dispose of in
an environmentally safe manner. Contact
your area EPA office for proper disposal
methods and recycling center locations.
• Reinstall the drain plug and turn clockwise until
fully tightened.
• Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise to the
first stop, then push downward on the cap and
turn counterclockwise to remove. Refer to
Figure 50.
• In stages, SLOWLY pour the coolant solution
into the filler neck, allowing as much air as
possible to escape throu gh the neck. Fill to the
overflow flange of the filler neck.
• Wait a few minutes to allow air to escape
through the filler nec k and re fil l a s nee ded, 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.
CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER
Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the
engine. Check for loose or damaged components
and check the condition of the filter element.
Remove any buildup of dirt and debris in the air
cleaner housing.
Replace the paper air cleaner element after every
300 hours of operation. More ofte n if operating the
