SECTION 2: FOREWORD
The Cub Cadet Commercial Hydro Walk-Behind Commercial Rotary Mower has been developed for use by professional landscapers, commercial lawn service companies, professional turf managers and golf course superintendents. The machine incorporates many safety features that should be studied by all operators and maintenance personnel before use.
The list of safety precautions should receive particular attention. This manual presents the operating and maintenance instructions necessary to keep your Cub Cadet Commercial mower at peak efficiency. If properly operated and maintained, your Cub Cadet Commercial mower will give dependable and trouble-free service. Although hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent upon the design and configuration of the equipment, these factors are also dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the equipment.
The Cub Cadet Commercial Hydro Walk-Behind Commercial Rotary Mower should only be operated and maintained by thoroughly trained individuals. The machine could cause serious injury to anyone who misuses it or does not understand its operation. All operators and maintenance personnel are urged to read this entire manual for their personal safety.

SECTION 3: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A. GENERAL:
1.Read this Operator’s Manual before starting the mower. Study the controls and learn the proper sequence of operation.
2.Do not allow anyone to operate or maintain this machine who has not read the manual. Never permit children to operate this machine.
3.Always have your feet and hands clear of the cutter deck when starting the engine.
4.Do not remove any shields, guards, decals or safety devices. If a shield, guard, decal or safety device is damaged or does not function, repair or replace it before operating the mower.
5.Always wear safety glasses, long pants and safety shoes when operating or maintaining this mower. Do not wear loosefitting clothing.
6.Never run the engine indoors without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
7.To avoid serious burns, do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is running or until it has cooled after it has been shut off.
8.When looking for oil leaks, never run your hand over hydraulic hoses, lines or fittings. (High-pressure oil can easily penetrate the skin.) Never tighten or adjust hydraulic hoses or fittings while the system is under pressure.
B. RELATED TO FUEL:
1.Gasoline is highly flammable. Respect it.
2.Do not smoke or permit others to smoke while handling gasoline.
3.Always use approved containers for gasoline.
4.Always shut off the engine and permit it to cool before removing the cap of the fuel tank.
5.If the fuel container spout will not fit inside the fuel tank opening, use a funnel.
6.When filling the fuel tank, stop when the gasoline reaches one inch from the top. This space must be left for expansion.
Do not overfill.
7.Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
C. WHEN MOWING:
1.Keep adults, children and pets away from the area to be mowed.
2.Never use this mower without the grasscatcher or discharge chute installed and set in the down position.
3.Mow only in daylight.
4.Always check the area to be mowed and remove debris and other objects prior to mowing.
5.Watch for holes, sprinkler heads and other hidden hazards.
6.Reduce speed when making sharp turns.
7.Always have proper footing on slopes and hillsides and never operate when conditions are slippery. Be very careful on wet grass.
8.Always keep both hands on the handles. Always walk, never run.
9.Never engage the blade clutch when the engine is running unless you are on grass that you intend to mow.
10.Be careful when crossing gravel paths or roadways. Always disengage the blade clutch and wait until the blades stop rotating.
11.Never leave the mower unattended without disengaging the blade clutch, placing the ground speed control levers in neutral, placing the neutral latch levers in the neutral lock position, shutting off the engine, taking the key from the ignition switch and closing the fuel shutoff valve.
12.Always park the mower and start the engine on a level surface with the ground speed control levers in neutral, the blade clutch disengaged and the neutral latch levers in the neutral lock position.
13.Shut off the engine and wait for the blades to stop rotating before removing the grass catcher.
4
14.If you hit a solid object while mowing, disengage the blade clutch, place the ground speed control levers in neutral, place the neutral latch levers in the neutral lock position and stop the engine. Disconnect the spark plug wire and inspect for damage. Repair any damage and make sure the blades are in good condition and the blade bolts are tight before restarting the engine.
15.Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Mow across the slope, not up and down the slope.
16.Never raise the mower deck while the blades are rotating.
17.Never walk or stand on the discharge side of a mower with the engine running. Disengage the blade clutch if another person approaches while you are operating a mower.
18.Always disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent the engine from accidentally starting before performing any maintenance on this mower.
19.Keep the mower and especially the engine/pump area clean and free of grease, grass and leaves to reduce the chance of fire and to permit proper cooling.
20.The operator presence control levers located at each handle are designed for your safety. Do not try to defeat their operation. If the blade clutch is engaged or either of the ground speed control levers are out of the neutral position, releasing both handles will shut off the mower’s engine.

A. CONTROLS
1.Ignition Switch: Located in the center of the control panel between the handles. A clockwise 45° turn closes the ignition circuit. If the neutral latch levers are in the neutral lock position, the ground speed control levers are in neutral and the blade clutch is disengaged the engine can be started by pulling the recoil starter rope. The engine can be shut off by turning the ignition key 45° counterclockwise.
2.Fuel Shutoff Valve: Located under the fuel tank in the opening of the handle mount frame. The handle turns 90 degrees. When the handle is in a horizontal position, it will shut off the flow of fuel to the engine. When it is turned to a vertical position, it will open and allow fuel to flow to the engine. Anytime the mower is being trailered or, if the mower will not be in use for 30 minutes or more, close the fuel shutoff valve to prevent flooding the engine.
3.Engine Throttle: Located on the far right side of the control panel between the handles. Moving the throttle lever from the front to the rear will increase the engine speed from slow to fast. To start the engine, set the throttle all the way to the rear in the “Choke” position. After the engine starts, move the throttle halfway between slow and fast. Always mow at full throttle.
4.Traction/Steering Levers: There is a right-hand lever located beneath the outer end of the right handle and a left-hand lever located beneath the outer end of the left handle. Each lever operates independently and when squeezed against spring tension, freed from the neutral lock position (see Neutral Latch Levers below) and released, permits the pump to send oil to the wheel drive motor at the rate set by the ground speed control lever. When both traction/steering levers are released, the mower will move ahead in a straight line if the engine is running and the ground speed control levers have been moved forward out of the neutral position. Steering is accomplished by squeezing the traction/steering lever on the side to which the turn is to be made. If both traction/steering levers are squeezed at the same time, the mower will stop and then backup. The mower can then be steered in reverse by squeezing one of the traction/steering levers closer to the handle than the other.
5.Ground Speed Control Levers: Located on the right side of the control panel. These two levers control the maximum output of the two hydraulic pumps to the two wheel drive motors and thus the ground speed of the mower independent of the engine speed. Moving the right lever forward increases the output of the right side pump and moving the left lever forward increases the output of the left side pump. Normally these levers are moved in unison. In order to start the engine both levers must be pulled back to the neutral position.
