НВ is a safety device designed tor protection of the operator. A WARNING Operator must be seated before starting the tractor. =) NOTE This tractor is equipped with a safety inter- lock system for the protection of the opera- tor. The safety interlock system prevents the engine from cranking or starting unless the brake pedal is fully depressed, and the PTO engagement switch is in the "OFF" position. The safety interlock system will automati- cally shut oft the engine if the operator leaves the seat before engaging the brake lock. =) NOTE The safety interlock system will automati- cally disengage the PTO if the operator leaves the seat with the PTO in the "RUN" position, or the unit is shifted into reverse with the PTO in the "RUN" position. To reengage the PTO, shift into neutral ("N"), move the PTO switch into the "OFF" position and then engage the PTO while seated. Operator must be seated. Pull choke control knob to full choke position. Less choking may be necessary due to variations in temperature, grade of fuel, etc. Little or no choking will be needed when the engine is warm. . Place the throttle midway between the "SLOW" ‘and "FAST" position. Place the PTO switch in the "OFF" position. Place the speed control lever in neutral ("N"). Fully depress the brake pedal. =) МОТЕ The speed control lever will automatically return to neutral when the brake pedal is pressed all the way down, and the linkage is properly adjusted. . Turn the ignition key clockwise to the "START" position and release it as soon as the engine starts; however do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds at any one time. engine does not start within this time, turn the key "OFF" and wait a few minutes, then try again. After the engine starts, slowly release the brake pedal and gradually push the choke control knob all the way in. Do not use the choke to enrich the fuel mixture, except as necessary to start the engine. | If the 15 STOPPING THE ENGINE A CAUTION Remove the key to prevent accidental start- ing and battery discharge if equipment is left unattended. Move the throttle lever to the "SLOW" position and allow the engine to idle for a short time before stop- ping. Then turn the key to the "OFF" position. Remove key from ignition switch. TRACTOR BREAK-IN PROCEDURE ÁN caurion Never operate a new engine immediately under full load. Break it in carefully as shown in the table below. — Engine Throttle Control Lever | Perlod Position Load a Y Full 1st hour X | None X Light drawbar load or 2 hour | X Mowing with tractor at slow speed X Medium draw- bar load 3rd through or 13th hour | AX Normal mowing COLD WEATHER STARTING A WARNING During operation do not run the engine. in confined area such as storage building any longer than is necessary. Immediately move the tractor outside into the air. AN папе Ш Operator must be seated before starting the tractor. | =) NOTE In cold weather the starting motor may disengage prematurely. This is caused by the engine firing once but failing to continue running. If this happens several times, the engine will be flooded and it will be neces- sary to leave the throttie in the "SLOW" posi- tion but push the choke in all the way; then turn the ignition key to the "START" position and slowly pull the choke out to the position which will cause the engine to start and con- tinue running. If the engine falters after put- ting tractor into motion, pull the choke out part way until the engine runs smoothly, then gradually push the choke back in as > the engine warms. | Engine starting is possible in cold weather providing the correct weight of engine oil is used, the battery is fully charged, and the proper starting procedure is fol- lowed. The best procedure for starting at tempera- tures near or below freezing are as follows: 1. Operator must be seated. 2. Pull the choke all the way out into the full choke position. 3. Move the throttle lever midway between the "SLOW" and "FAST" position. Place the PTO switch in the "OFF" position. Place the speed control lever in neutral ("N"). Fully depress the brake pedal. No os Move the key switch into the "START" position and hold until the engine starts; however, do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds at any one time. As soon as the engine starts, slowly push the choke in part way. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AN AuTION Avoid sudden starts, excessive speed, and sudden stops. М} слот Do not leave the seat of the tractor without disengaging the PTO, depressing the brake pedal and engaging the brake lock. If leav- ing the tractor unattended, also turn the igni- tion key off and remove the key. | 16 = МОТЕ When using power take-off operated equip- ment, best performance is achieved with the throttle lever in the "FAST" position. 1. Depress the brake pedal to release the brake lock, and let the pedal up. Move the throttle lever to the position where the engine operates best for the load to be handled. 2. Start the tractor in motion by moving the speed control lever slowly forward or rearward to desired speed. DRIVING ON SLOPES (Refer to "SLOPE GAUGE" on page 41 in order to help determine slopes where you may not operate safely.) | AN anno Do not mow on inclines with a slope in excess of 15 degrees (a rise of approxi- mately 2-1/2 feet every 10 feet). A tractor could overturn and cause serious injury. AN vañninc Operate tractor up and down slopes, never across slopes. ДА слотом Always drive up or down the face of a slope. Do not drive so that the tractor may tip over sideways. Before operating the tractor on any slope, walk the slope to look for possible hazards such as rocks, mounds, ruts, stumps or other surface irregularities which could cause an upset. Back the tractor with implement up the steepest por- tion 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 slope. 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 neces- sary to stop while driving up a slope, start up smoothly and carefully to reduce the possibility of flipping the tractor over backward. STOPPING THE TRACTOR AA cru Always engage brake lock, lower equipment and shut off engine before dismounting. Never try to start engine from ground. Fully depress the brake pedal. When the tractor has stopped, make sure the speed control lever is in the neutral ("N") position. Before dismounting always disengage the PTO, engage the brake lock and turn the ignition "OFF." DRAWBAR Drawbar equipment must be hitched to the tractor only at the hitch hole in the drawbar. (See Figure 18.) OPERATING THE FRONT POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) CLUTCH mp note Be certain to follow break-in listed below. instructions 1. Move the throttle lever back to the medium or "SLOW" position. Flip the toggle switch to the "RUN" position. (See Figure 19.) Advance throttle to operating speed (full speed). The operator must remain in tractor seat at all times. If operator should leave tractor seat without turning off the power take-off switch, the PTO will automatically disengage.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS AN wanna If any adjustments are made to the engine while the engine is running (e.g., carbure- tor), disengage all clutches and blades. Keep clear of all moving parts and be careful of heated surfaces and muffler. A WARNING To avoid injury or an accident, engage brake lock, place speed control lever in neutral, and make sure equipment is disengaged before starting engine to make carburetor adjustments. A WARNING Carbon monoxide fumes can be fatal! Do not make any adjustments to the carburetor in a confined area such as a storage build- ing. Move the tractor outside into the air, 21 mm) NOTE Carburetor adjustments should be made only after the engine has warmed up. This engine is equipped with an adjustable jet car- buretor. (Refer to Figure 30.) LOW IDLE SPEED ADJUSTING SCREW LOW IDLE FUEL ADJUSTING NEEDLE HIGH IDLE ADJUSTING NEEDLE Figure 30. Adjustable Jet Carburetor The carburetor is designed to deliver the correct fuel- to-air mixture to the engine under all operating condi- tions. The main fuel jet is calibrated at the factory and is adjustable. The low idle fuel adjusting needie is also set at the factory and also normally does not need adjustment. If, however, the engine is hard-starting or runs roughly or stalls at low idle speed, it may be necessary to adjust or service the carburetor. Adjust carburetor 1. With the engine stopped, turn the low and high idle fuel adjusting needles In (clockwise) until they bottom lightly. | =) NOTE The tip of the low idle fuel and high idle fuel adjusting needles are tapered to critical dimensions. Damage to the needles and the seats in carburetor body will result if the needles are forced. Preliminary Settings: Turn the adjusting needle out (counterclockwise) from lightly bottomed to: High Idle 1-3/4 turns; Low Idle 2-1/2 turns. Start the engine and run at half throttle for five to ten minutes to warm up. The engine must be warm before making final settings. High Idle Fuel Needle Setting: Place the throt- tle control into the “fast” position. If possible, place the engine under load. ~ Turn the high idle fuel adjusting needle out (coun- terclockwise) from the preliminary setting until the engine speed decreases (rich). Note the position of the needle. Now turn the adjusting needle in (clockwise). The engine speed may increase, then it will decrease as the needle is turned in (lean). Note the position of the needle. Set the adjusting needle midway between the rich and lean settings. (See to Figure 31.) Low Idle Speed Setting: Place the throttle con- trol into the "idle" or "slow" position. Set the idle 22 speed to 1200 rpm* (+75 rpm) by turning the low idle speed adjusting screw in or out. Check the speed using a tachometer. = NOTE The actual low idle speed depends on the application-refer to equipment manufac- turers recommendations. The recom- mended low idle speed for basic engines is 1200 rpm. To ensure best results when set- ting the low idle fuel needle, the low idle speed must not exceed 1500 rpm. Low Idle Fuel Needle Setting: Place the throttle into the "idle" or "slow" position. Turn the low idle fuel adjusting needle out (coun- terclockwise) from the preliminary setting until the engine speed decreases (rich). Note the position of the needle. Now turn the adjusting needle in (clockwise). The engine speed may increase, then it will decrease as the needle is turned | in (lean). Note the position of the needle. Set the adjusting needle midway between the rich and lean settings. (See Figure 31.) Recheck the idle speed using a tachometer. Readjust the speed as necessary. LEAN ADJUSTMENT TO MIDPOINT Figure 31. Optimum Fuel Setting SECTION IV. MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL The engine-crankcase is filled with ship- away oil. This oil may be used for the first 5 hours of engine opera- tion at temperatures between 0° and 90°F. If tem- peratures are not within this range, drain the oil from the oil filter, if installed, and crankcase and replace with new oil as specified in the "LUBRICATION TABLE.” The engine oil must be drained and replaced with new oil after 5 hours of engine operation and then after every 100 hours. To aid starting, the selection of crankcase lubricating oils should be based on the. lowest anticipated tem- peratures until the next drain period. Cub Cadet Low Ash Engine Oil! meeting API Service Classification SF or SG is recommended. For max- imum engine life select API SF or SG oils with lowest levels of barium, calcium or magnesium additives and minimum ash content (approximately 0.5%). Lubri- cant suppliers will normally furnish this information on their engine oils. | Multi-viscosity numbered oils such as SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 can be used above 32°F. Regularly check the oil level of the engine crankcase to see that it is filled to the correct level. Always keep the oil level between the "FULL" and the "LOW" marks on the dipstick. When checking the oil level, engine must be cold, the dipstick must be withdrawn and wiped clean, then inserted all the way and withdrawn for a true reading. mn) NOTE Check the oil level only while the engine is stopped and tractor is level. | a NOTE During initial break-in period the engine oil level should be checked frequently. FILLING THE CRANKCASE To fill the crankcase with oil, place the tractor on a level surface. Clean the area around the oil fill tube and dipstick to prevent debris from entering the crankcase. Remove the oil fill cap and slowly pour 4 pints of oil into the crankcase. Replace the oil fill cap. When checking the oil level, push the dipstick assembly firmly but slowly until cap bottoms on tube. DO NOT OVERFILL. Dipstick assembly MUST BE PUSHED FULLY INTO TUBE AT ALL TIMES WHEN ENGINE IS OPERATING. IE) NOTE Never overfill the engine crankcase. Engine may overheat and/or damage may result if the crankcase is below the "LOW" mark or over the "FULL" mark. OIL CHANGE PROCEDURE EN) NOTE The engine oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of operation. Then oil should be changed after every 100 hours of operation. Refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART and the LUBRI- CATION TABLE for information regarding the fre- quency of oil change and the quantity and type of oil needed. While the engine oil is warm, proceed as fol- 23 lows: The oil filter is available from your Cub Cadet dealer as Part Number KH-12-050-01. A WARNING Oil may be hot. Use care to avoid burns from hot oil. o 1. Place the tractor on a level surface and engage brake lock. Remove the drain plug and collect the old oil in an adequate container. (Refer to Figure 32.) 2. Remove the oil filter by turning it counterclock- wise. 3. Apply a light coat of oil to rubber seal on oil filter. Install filter turning it clockwise. Filter should be snug plus 1/2 turn. | | 4.

Remove the precleaner from the paper element. Gently tap the flat side of the paper element to dislodge dirt. Do not wash the paper element or use pressurized air, as this will damage the ele- ment. Replace a dirty, bent or damaged element. Handle new elements carefully; do not use if the sealing surfaces are bent or damaged. When servicing the air cleaner, check the air cleaner base. Make sure it is secured and not bent or damaged. Also check the air cleaner cover for damage or improper fit. Replace all damaged air cleaner components. Reinstall the paper element, precleaner, air cleaner cover and air cleaner cover retaining knob. Make sure the knob is tightened securely. Properly cleaned and installed air cleaner elements significantly contribute to prolonged engine life. CLEANING ENGINE This tractor has an air-cooled engine. “Air must be able to circulate freely around the engine, through the screen, shroud and over the fins of the cylinder head and cylinder block. Keep these areas free of accumu- lated dirt and trash or engine will overheat and result in damaged moving parts. SPARK PLUG У! Де To avoid possible injury, be sure engine is off and cool before making any adjustment or repairs. mm NOTE Remove all dirt from around the spark plug before removing. To remove spark plug, always use a spark plug wrench. Check gap after every 100 hours of opera- tion. Replace a defective plug with a new plug. Set gap at .040 inch. (See Figure 35.) Tighten plug to 28-32 ft- Ibs. See your authorized dealer for the correct replacement plug. | SS \ SN / Figure 35 1. Spark Plug FUEL FILTER A WARNING Do not change the fuel filter when engine is hot. The engine is equipped with an inline fuel filter. Visu- ally inspect the filter periodically, and replace when dirty. LIGHTS Refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" when replacement of head ‘amp bulb or taillight & bulb is necessary. A. WARNING Do not change head lamp bulbs when hot or when engine is hot.

BATTERY INFORMATION 7 e A. Battery acid must be handled with great care as contact with it can burn and blis- ter the skin. It is also advisable to wear protective clothing (goggles, rubber “gloves and apron) when working with it.* B. Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the eyes or onto the face, rinse the affected area immediately with clean cold water. If there is any further discomtort, seek prompt medical atten- tion. If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean water, then neutralize with a solu- ton of ammonia/water or baking soda/water. D. Since battery acid is corrosive, do not pour it into any sink or drain. Before dis- carding empty electrolyte containers, rinse them with a neutralizing solution. E. NEVER connect or disconnect charger clips to battery while charger is turned on as it can cause sparks. F. Keep all lighted materials (cigarettes, matches, lighters) away from the battery as the hydrogen gas generated during charging can be combustible. G. As a further precaution, only charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. *Always shield eyes and protect skin and clothing when working near batteries. A DANGER BATTERIES CONTAIN SULFURIC ACID AND MAY CONTAIN EXPLOSIVE GASES (when electrolyte has been added). KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. MAINTENANCE OF BATTERY 1. Check electrolyte level periodically (at least every two weeks). Keep the level to the split rings. Use only distilled water or a good quality drinking water. Never add acid or any other chemicals to the battery after initial activation. The battery should be checked with a hydrometer after every 25 hours of operation. If the specific gravity is less than 1.225, the battery should be recharged. Maximum charge rate is 5 amps. Coat the terminals and exposed wire with a thin coat of grease or petroleum jelly for longer serv- ice and protection against corrosion. The battery should be kept clean. Any deposits of acid should be neutralized with baking soda and water. Be careful not to get this solution in the cells. Avoid tipping the battery. Even a "sealed" battery will leak electrolyte when tipped. 27 STORAGE OF THE BATTERY 1. 4. When storing battery for extended periods, disconnect battery cables. Removing battery from unit is recommended. Keep the exterior of the battery clean, especially the top. A dirty battery must be stored with a full charge. A dirty battery will discharge itself. Check the battery with a hydrometer. The battery must be stored with a full charge. A discharged battery will freeze. В Specific Gravity Freezing Point 1.265 71°F | 1.250 —62°F 1.200 —16°F 1.150 5°F 1.100 16°F = МОТЕ All batteries discharge during storage. Recharge battery whenever the specific gravity is less than 1.225, before returning to service or every two months, whichever comes first. COMMON CAUSES FOR BATTERY FAILURE NON SON Overcharging Undercharging Lack of water Loose hold downs and/or corroded connections Excessive loads Battery electrolyte substitutes Freezing of electrolyte =) NOTE These failures do not constitute warranty. BATTERY REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION A WARNING When removing the battery, follow this order of disassembly to prevent your wrench from shorting against the frame. Battery removal: 1. Remove the Negative cable. 2. Remove the Positive cable. Battery installation: 1. Attach the Positive cable. 2. Attach the Negative cable. JUMP STARTING AA Ann Failure to use this starting procedure could cause sparking, and the gases in either bat- tery could explode. 1. Attach the first jumper cable from the positive ter- minal of the good battery to the positive terminal of the dead battery. | 2. Attach the second jumper cable from the negative terminal of the good battery to the FRAME OF THE UNIT WITH THE DEAD BATTERY. TIRES Keep the pneumatic tires properly inflated. Over- inflation will cause operator discomfort. Underinflation will cause short tire life. 28 Inflate the front and rear tires for normal or heavy load operations as shown in the following table: Tire Size Pounds per Square Inch Front Tires 16 x 6.50-8 12 Rear Tires 23 x 10.50-12 10 Always see that the tire valve caps are in place and tightened securely to prevent loss of air and protect the valve core and stem. Do not overload the tractor tires by mounting equip- ment on the tractor which exceeds the load capacity of the size of the tires on the tractor. MOUNTING TIRES ON THE RIM After mounting a new or old tire on the rim, inflate it to 20 pounds pressure to seat the tire bead on the rim flange. Then deflate the tire to the correct operating pressure. IN) NOTE After the first 10 hours of operation, check and retorque the wheel lug nuts (both sides) to 35 ft-Ibs. to make sure they have seated properly. SECTION V. OFF-SEASON STORAGE If the machine is to be inoperative for a period longer than 30 days, the following procedures are recom- mended: | | | AN Fe Never store engine with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated enclosures, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc. Remove all gasoline from fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine. Run engine until engine starts to falter, then use choke to continue engine operation until all fuel in tank and carburetor is exhausted. Remove fuel line at tank or carburetor and drain any remaining gasoline from system. 29 A WARNING Drain fuel into approved container outdoors, away from open flame. Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems. Remove spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Crank engine several times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug. Clean the engine and the entire tractor thoroughly. Lubricate all lubrication points. Follow battery storage instructions on page 27. Protect tires and seat from sunlight. Inflate tires at regular intervals. SECTION VI. MOWING MOWING AN WARNING To avoid possible injury, do not allow any- one in the area opposite the discharge chute while mowing. Although the area has been supposedly cleared of foreign objects, small objects may be discharged by the mower. AN rine Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation. For best results it is recommended that the first two laps should be cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the first two laps, reverse the direc- tion to throw the discharge to the outside for the bal- ance of cutting. This will give a better appearance to the fawn. Do not cut the grass too short, as the mower will tend to scalp the grass. Short grass invites weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather. Mowing should be done with the engine at full throttle. Do not mow at high ground speed. During certain times of the year and under some con- ditions, the mower may leave streaks of uncut material. 30 Streaking may occur when attempting to mow heavy weeds and tall grass. Under these conditions it may be necessary to go back over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut. | The following practices will help eliminate streaking: 1. Mow the area more often so the grass doesn't get too tall and heavy. | Operate the tractor at full throttle and lower for- ward speeds. Keep the blades sharp and replace blades when worn. Follow the mowing procedure shown in Figure 37.

Proper lubrication is a very important part of that care. Be certain that all lubrication fittings are assembled in place, using the lubrication illustrations as a guide. Always lubricate the tractor thoroughly before taking it to the field. Use a pressure lubricating gun. Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint SO the lubricant is certain to enter the bearing. Always force the lubricant through the full length of each bearing until it emerges at the end, carrying with it the worn lubricant and any dirt that may have entered the bearing. Miscellaneous working parts not provided with lubrica- tion fittings should be oiled cally with a good grade of lubricating oil. Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can be expensive to replace. 36 Keep your supply of lubricating oil and grease stored in clean containers, and covered to protect from dust and dirt. Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean and wipe dirt from grease fittings before lubricating. “The symbols in the illustration indicate the method of application and the hourly intervals to apply the lubri- cant.
