1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3.Precautions Before Operating Your Tractor
1. Understand the performance and limitations of
your tractor. Carefully study this operator’s
manual and learn the instructions in it before
operating or servicing your tractor. Keep the
Operator’s Manual in an easily accessible place.
2. Strictly follow the statements given in the
DANGER, CAUTION and WARNING safety
decals attached to the tractor.
3. Do not operate the tractor with the Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) in the folded
position.
Keep the seat belt fastened while operating the
tractor with the Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) up. This practice will reduce the
possibility of injury or death in the event of rollover accident.
If the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) has
been removed for any reason, be sure to reinstall
all the associated parts before operating the
tractor.
Do not alter the Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS). The altered Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) may fail to provide the
designed protection.
Replace the damaged Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) immediately. Contact your
local Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer for technical
assistance.
The foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) may be temporarily folded down when
absolutely necessary for areas with height
limitations. Remember that when the Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) is in the folded
position, the Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) does not provide operator protection and
the seat belt should not be worn.
For operator safety, always keep the Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) in the upright and
locked position.
NEVER alter or repair the Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS). Welding, bending, drilling,
grinding, or cutting may weaken the Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) structure. Contact
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.
Do not use the seat belt if the foldable Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) is in the folded
position or the tractor does not have the RollOver Protective Structure (ROPS).
5. Check overhead clearance carefully before
driving under power lines, wires, bridges or low
hanging tree branches, before entering or leaving
building, or in any other situation where the
operator and/or Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) may be struck, which could result in
serious injury.
6. Make sure that any person (other than a usual
operator) who will operate the tractor studies this
operator’s manual before operation. Know the
controls and how to stop the machine quickly.
7. Make sure that any person or obstacle is not
under or around the tractor before and during
operation. Be sure to maintain sufficient
overhead clearance above the tractor.
8. Do not operate your tractor and/or implement
installed to it while you are under the influence of
alcohol, drug, medicine or controlled
substance(s) or when you are not fit for operation
of your tractor.
9. For operation, wear close-fitting clothing. When
operating the tractor or working around the
tractor, do not wear loose-fitting clothes or
jewelry, or baggy or damaged clothing. When
caught by a moving part of the tractor, an
accident can result. Cut-off pants or shorts do not
provide protection against flying debris. Never
operate the tractor in bare feet, sandals, or
1-3
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
sneakers. Wear additional protections including
non-slip safety boots or shoes, and safety
goggles and gloves, etc. as appropriate or
required by currently applicable local laws and
regulations. Wear ear protection in a noisy
environment to prevent hearing damage and
reduce operator fatigue.
10. NEVER allow a passenger on any portion of the
tractor.
11. Remain seated in the operator’s station when
operating the tractor.
12. Make sure that the brakes, clutch and other
mechanical components are free from
misadjustment and excessive wear. Replace any
excessively worn or damaged component
immediately. At regular intervals, check that all
the nuts, bolts and screws are appropriately
tightened. (For details, see “MAINTENANCE”)
13. Always keep your tractor clean. Dust, grease or
grass clippings accumulated on your tractor can
lead to fire accidents or personal injury.
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.
If you choose to use the front loader, mount an
implement or ballast to the 3-point hitch in order
to get the tractor to stabilize. Observe the
instructions about safety in the manual for the
implement to be used.
17. Remember that a narrower tread width can lead
to greater possibility of upsetting of the tractor. To
positively stabilize your tractor, select a maximum
possible tread width appropriate for your intended
application. (For details, see the “Wheel
Adjustment” on page 12-2)
18. Do not attempt to modify your tractor.
Modification can deteriorate the performance
and/or safety of your tractor, possibly leading to
personal injury or property damage.
4.Safe Practices for Operating Your Tractor
1. Starting Your Tractor
1. Remain seated in the operator’s station when
starting the engine, or actuating the levers or
controls. Do not start the engine or operate
controls while standing beside the tractor.
2. Before starting the engine, make sure that all the
levers are in the neutral positions, the parking
brake is engaged securely, and the clutch and
the Power Take Off (PTO) are disengaged.
3. Always keep the seat belt fastened around your
waist whenever the Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) is in the upright and locked
position.
4. If you must start the tractor where there is a
height limitation, as soon as possible return the
Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) to the
upright and locked position and fasten the seat
belt.
5. Start the engine of your tractor only by using the
starter key switch. Do not attempt to start the
tractor engine by short-circuiting across the
starter solenoid terminals with a jumper wire, or
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
1-4
by bypassing the safety start switch. This defeats
the safety interlock circuit and the tractor may
begin to move and/or the Power Take Off (PTO)
shafts may begin to rotate, possibly leading to
personal injury or property damage.
6. Do not run or idle the engine in a confined area
that is poorly ventilated or not ventilated at all.
The engine emits carbon monoxide gas that is
colorless, odorless and can cause death.
7. Before operation, check that all the safety
features are functioning correctly. Never tamper
with safety devices. Check their proper operation
regularly. Contact your Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer
if safety devices malfunction.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
2. Working with Your Tractor
1. Tow an implement only with the drawbar. Do not
hitch via the axle housing. The tractor can upset,
leading to serious injury or death. Make certain
the drawbar pin is locked in place.
2. Any towed vehicle with a total weight exceeding
that of the tractor should be equipped with its own
braking system that is operational from the tractor
seat.
3. Make sure that all the covers and guards are in
position. Replace any missing or damaged cover
immediately.
4. Before turning or when traveling on a rough
terrain, or before stopping, decrease the tractor
speed in order to prevent upsetting.
5. Use extra caution when operating over rough
ground, when crossing ditches or slopes, and
when turning corners.
6. Do not attempt to turn with the differential lock
engaged. Attempting to turn the tractor while the
differential lock is engaged can lead to a roll-over.
7. Stay clear of ditches, holes, embankments or
ponds. A hazard of tractor upset can occur more
easily if the ground is soft or wet. Before entering
an area covered with tall grass, walk the area to
detect any obstacles.
8. Always watch where you are going, especially at
blind corners, trees, or other objects that can
obscure your vision. Remain alert when you are
approaching the end of a row, trees or any
obstacle.
9. When two or more people are working in one
area, always keep in good communication with
each other.
10. Do not get on or off a moving tractor.
11. Make certain all tractor lights are illuminated
when operating at night.
3. Considerations for Safety of Children
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.
1. Keep children out of the operating area and in the
watchful care of an adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert if a child enters the work area, stop your
tractor immediately.
3. Never allow a child to ride on the tractor. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere
with safe machine operation.
4. Never allow children under 16 years old to
operate the machine. Children 16 years and over
should only operate machine under close
parental supervision and proper instruction.
5. Be extremely careful when backing the tractor.
Before and during backing, look back and
downward. A child may be in your path.
6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure
your vision of a child or other hazard.
7. Never allow a child to play on the tractor or
implement.
8. Keep children away from hot or running engines.
They may suffer burns.
9. Park your tractor on a solid, flat and level place.
Engage the parking brake securely, remove the
starter key switch to prevent unauthorized
operation. If parking on a slope is unavoidable,
park the tractor across the slope and chock the
wheels.
1-5
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
5.Operating Your Tractor on Slopes
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.
A2019005
DO:
●Operate 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
such obstacles.
●Place the transmission 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.
●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 tires lose
traction, disengage the Power Take Off (PTO) and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
●To avoid upset, move backward up a steep slope.
If backing on the slope is not comfortable, do not
attempt to continue. Avoid an extremely steep
slope.
●When moving forward to escape from a ditch, or
deep mud, or when traveling on a steep slope, the
risk of the tractor upsetting backward is high.
Always move backward to escape these situations.
In the four-wheel drive mode, special caution is
needed to avoid false confidence in the tractor’s
ability to climb slopes.
●To improve stability on a slope, select the widest
possible tread. Observe the instructions for
appropriate ballasting. (For details, see “TIRES,
WHEELS AND BALLAST”)
DO NOT:
●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. Be sure to run the
tractor at a lower speed on slopes. NEVER
attempt a shift change action on a slope.
Otherwise, the tractor can suddenly go
downhill out of control.
●On a slope, do not set the range shift lever to
the “N” (neutral) position.
●When climbing or descending a slope, do not
disengage the clutch or shift the gears.
Disengaging the clutch or shifting the gears to
neutral position can cause the tractor to be out
of control.
●Suddenly starting the tractor on an uphill can
cause the front wheels to jump off the ground,
and this situation poses an extreme danger. To
avoid this problem, run the engine at a lower
speed, and gently start the tractor.
●Do not park the tractor on a slope. If parking on
a slope is unavoidable, chock the tires, and
engage the parking brake securely.

6.Traveling on a Road
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Disengagement of the 4-wheel drive is
recommended.
2. Remember that the braking characteristics differ
between the two and four wheel drive modes. Be
aware of the current drive mode and use
carefully.
3. Before turning, always slow down the tractor.
High-speed turn may cause the tractor to tip over.
4. When traveling on a road, be sure that the Slow
Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is on the tractor
and is clearly visible. Use the hazard lights and
turn lights as required by the currently effective
local laws or regulations.
5. Strictly observe all the currently effective local
traffic and safety laws and regulations.
6. Turn ON the headlights as required by the
currently effective local laws or regulations.
7. Always travel at a speed that allows you to
maintain control of the tractor.

8.Operating the Power Take Off (PTO)
1. Before getting off the tractor, connecting/
disconnecting an implement, adjusting, cleaning
or servicing a Power Take Off (PTO)-driven
implement, make sure that all the moving
components are at a standstill.
2. Ensure that the Power Take Off (PTO) shaft
cover is always in place. Replace the Power Take
Off (PTO) shaft cap only when the shaft is at a
standstill.
9.Using the 3-Point Hitch
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. Use the 3-point hitch only in conjunction with the
implement that is specifically designed for use
with the 3-point hitch.
2. Before using a 3-point hitch mounted implement,
the appropriate counterbalance may need to be
installed on the front of the tractor.
3. While on a road, do not attempt to operate an
implement. During transportation, put the 3-point
hitch control lever in its raised position and lock it
with the position stop knob.
Do not fully close the hydraulic flow control / stop
knob to hold an implement in the raised position
while the tractor is traveling with the implements.
Doing so could cause damage to the hydraulic lift
circuit.
Your tractor is equipped with a Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) which must be maintained in a fully
functional condition. Check overhead clearance
carefully before driving under power lines, wires,
bridges or low hanging branches, before entering or
leaving buildings, or in any other situation where the
operator and/or Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) may be stuck, which could result in serious
injury.
1. Never modify the Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) in any way.
2. Never attempt to straighten or reweld any part of
the main frame or retaining brackets that have
been damaged. Doing so may weaken the
structure and endanger your safety.
3. Never secure any parts on the main frame or
attach the safety frame with anything other than
the special fasteners specified.
4. Never attach ropes, chains, or cables to the RollOver Protective Structure (ROPS) for pulling
purposes.
5. Although the Roll-Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) provides you the maximum protection
possible, never take unnecessary risks.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
11. Safe Practices for Servicing Your Tractor
Before starting any servicing work, park your tractor
on solid, level ground, engage the parking brake
securely, lower the implement to the ground, set all
the levers to the neutral position, shut down the
engine and remove the starter key switch.
1. Always keep a first-aid kit and a fire extinguisher
readily available.
2. Before accessing the engine, muffler, radiator or
other possibly hot components, wait until the
tractor has fully cooled off.
3. Use extreme care in handling gasoline and diesel
fuels. They are extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Use only an approved
container.
4. Be sure to shut down the engine before refueling.
After refueling, replace fuel cap securely and
wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine
as it may cause a fire or explosion.
5. Do not smoke while refueling. Keep any spark or
open flame away from the fuel tank.
6. Never refuel the machine indoors because fuel
vapors will accumulate in the area.
7. Never store the fuel container or machine inside
where there is an open flame or spark, such as a
gas hot water heater, space heater or furnace.
8. Do not smoke while working around the battery.
Keep any spark or open flame away from the
battery. The battery emits hydrogen and oxygen
gas, in particular, during recharging and can pose
a hazard of explosion.
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”).
11. Before working on or around electric
components, first disconnect the battery ground
cable.
12. To prevent a spark occurring from short-circuit,
disconnect the battery grounding (–) terminal first
and reconnect last.
13. The operator must not mount a tire onto a rim.
Only qualified personnel should do this task.
14. Always keep the tires at a correct pressure level.
Do not exceed the recommended tire pressure
specified in the operator’s manual.
9. Prior to “jump starting” a tractor that has a fully
depleted battery, read and follow all the
instructions in the “7. OPERATING THE
ENGINE”.
15. Keep the tractor securely supported while
changing the wheels or adjusting the wheel tread
width. Be sure to tighten the wheel bolts at the
specified tightening torque.
1-9
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
16. Avoid working under any hydraulically supported
devices. Such devices can settle, suddenly leak
down, or be accidentally lowered. If working
beneath the tractor, or an implement, is
unavoidable, be sure to support the tractor or
implement with appropriate stands or lift
apparatus.
17. High pressure hydraulic fluid, when released, can
penetrate human skin, possibly leading to serious
personal injury. Before disconnecting any
hydraulic line, fully release the internal pressure.
Before exerting a pressure to the hydraulic
system, make sure that all connections are tight
and all the lines, pipes and hoses are free from
fissure/crack or any other damage.
18. Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and
service as required.
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. Do
not use food or beverage containers that may
mislead someone into drinking from them.
Properly dispose of the containers immediately
following the draining of fluids.
22. DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground,
down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or other
body of water. Observe Environmental Protection
Agency regulations when disposing of oil, fuel,
coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries, tires and
other harmful waste.
23. We do not recommend the use of a pressure
washer or garden hose to clean your unit. They
may cause damage to electrical components;
spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The
use of water will result in shortened life and
reduce serviceability.
WARNING: YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who
read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the
machine.

The tractor safety decals contain the words DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION together with the safety-alert
symbol. DANGER and WARNING stand for the most
serious hazards.
The Operator’s Manual also contains special safety
messages that explain potential hazards about which the
operator must remain cautious. These messages are
presented together with the word CAUTION and the
safety-alert symbol.
■ Care of DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION
Decals
1. Always keep all the danger, warning and caution
decals clean and clearly legible.
2. Clean the danger, warning and caution decals with
soap water, and wipe dry with clean soft cloth.
3. Replace damaged or missing danger, warning and
caution decals with new decals available from your
local Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer.
4. If a component having a danger, warning or caution
decals is replaced with a new one, make sure that a
new decal is on the same location as on the old
component.
5. Affix a new danger, warning or caution decals flat on a
clean, dry surface, squeezing out trapped air.
