turn off blade(s), place transmission in neutral, set  
park brake, stop engine and remove key before  
dismounting.  
operator’s manual and on the machine before  
starting. Keep this manual in a safe place for future  
and regular reference and for ordering replacement  
parts.  
• Turn off blade(s) when not mowing.  
• Only allow responsible individuals familiar with the  
instructions to operate the machine. Know controls  
and how to stop the machine quickly.  
• Stop engine and wait until blade(s) comes to a  
complete stop before (a) removing grass catcher or  
unclogging chute, or (b) making any repairs,  
adjusting or removing any grass or debris.  
• Do not put hands or feet under cutting deck or near  
rotating parts.  
• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.  
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,  
etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the  
blade. A small object may have been overlooked  
and could be accidentally thrown by the mower in  
any direction and cause injury to you or a  
bystander. To help avoid a thrown objects injury,  
keep children, bystanders and helpers at least 75  
feet from the mower while it is in operation. Always  
wear safety glasses or safety goggles during  
operation or while performing an adjustment or  
repair, to protect eyes from foreign objects. Stop  
the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks or  
roads.  
• Do not operate the machine while under the  
influence of alcohol or drugs.  
• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing  
roadways.  
• Use extra care when loading or unloading the  
machine into a trailer or truck. This unit should not  
be driven up or down a ramp onto a trailer or truck  
under power, because the unit could tip over,  
causing serious personal injury. The unit must be  
pushed manually on a ramp to load or unload  
properly.  
• Never make a cutting height adjustment while  
engine is running if operator must dismount to do  
so.  
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before  
mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.  
• Never carry passengers.  
• Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-  
fitting slacks and shirts. Do not wear loose fitting  
clothes or jewelry. They can be caught in moving  
parts. Never operate a unit in bare feet, sandals, or  
sneakers.  
• Disengage blade(s) before shifting into reverse and  
backing up. Always look down and behind before  
and while backing.  
• Be aware of the mower and attachment discharge  
direction and do not point it at anyone. Do not  
operate the mower without either the entire grass  
catcher or the chute guard in place.  
• Check overhead clearance carefully before driving  
under power lines, wires, bridges or low hanging  
tree branches, before entering or leaving buildings,  
or in any other situation where the operator may be  
struck or pulled from the unit, which could result in  
serious injury.  
• Slow down before turning. Operate the machine  
smoothly. Avoid erratic operation and excessive  
speed.

• Disengage all attachment clutches, thoroughly  
depress the brake pedal, and shift into neutral  
before attempting to start engine.  
3. CHILDREN  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the  
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the  
machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that chil-  
dren will remain where you last saw them.  
• Your mower is designed to cut normal residential  
grass of a height no more than 10". Do not attempt  
to mow through unusually tall, dry grass (e.g.,  
pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may build up  
on the mower deck or contact the engine exhaust  
presenting a potential fire hazard.  
• Keep children out of the mowing area and 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.  
2. SLOPE OPERATION  
Slopes are a major 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 mow it.  
• Never carry children, even with the blades off. They  
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with  
the safe machine operation.  
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of  
this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on  
a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15° as  
shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this unit on that  
area or serious injury could result.  
• Never allow children under 14 years old to operate  
the machine. Children 14 years and over should  
only operate machine under close parental  
supervision and proper instruction.  
• Remove key when machine is unattended to  
prevent unauthorized operation.  
DO:  
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners,  
shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure  
your vision of a child or other hazard.  
• Mow 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  
obstacles.  
4. SERVICE  
• Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other  
fuels. They are extremely flammable and the  
vapors are explosive.  
• Use slow speed. Always keep machine in gear  
when going down slopes to take advantage of  
engine braking action.  
• Use only an approved container.  
• Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine  
running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes  
before refueling.  
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for  
wheel weights or counterweights to improve  
stability.  
• Replace fuel cap securely and wipe off any spilled  
fuel before starting the engine as it may cause a  
fire or explosion.  
• Use extra care with grass catchers or other  
attachments. These can change the stability of the  
machine.  
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other  
sources of ignition.  
• 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.  
• Never refuel the machine indoors because fuel  
vapors will accumulate in the area.  
• 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.  
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose  
traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly  
straight down the slope.  
• Never run a machine inside a closed area.  
• To reduce fire hazard, keep the machine free of  
grass, leaves or other debris build-up. Clean up oil  
or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool at least 5  
minutes before storing.  
DO NOT:  
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn  
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.  
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or  
embankments. The mower could suddenly turn  
over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or  
if an edge caves in.  
• Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make  
certain the blade and all moving parts have  
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep  
the wire away from the spark plug to prevent  
accidental starting.  
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could  
cause sliding.  
• Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at  
frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also,  
visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., excessive  
wear, bent, cracked). Replace with blade which  
meets original equipment specifications.  
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your  
foot on the ground.  
• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the  
equipment is in safe working condition.  
• Do not change the engine governor settings or  
overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds  
are dangerous.  
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their  
proper operation regularly. Use all guards as  
instructed in this manual.  
• Observe proper disposal laws and regulations.  
Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm  
the environment and the ecology.  
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,  
remove the wire from the spark plug and thoroughly  
inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the  
damage before restarting and operating the mower.  
• 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.  
• Grass catcher components are subject to wear,  
damage and deterioration, which could expose  
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For  
• 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.

feel the cruise latch engage).  
To turn the tractors headlights off:  
Turn the key either into the On position (to  
leave the engine running) or the Off position  
(to shut the engine off). Refer to Figure 4.  
If properly engaged, the cruise control button  
and the drive pedal should lock in the down  
position, and the tractor will maintain the same  
forward speed.  
IMPORTANT: Never move the key into the Start  
position while the engine is running. Doing so may  
cause damage to your engine’s starter.  
Disengage the cruise control using one of the  
following methods:  
STOPPING THE ENGINE  
Depress the brake pedal to disengage the  
cruise control and stop the tractor.  
Place the PTO knob in the disengaged (OFF)  
position.  
Lightly depress the drive pedal.  
Move the throttle control into the SLOW  
position and allow the engine to "idle down"  
for ten seconds, then turn the ignition key  
counterclockwise to the OFF position.  
To change to the reverse direction when operating  
with cruise control, depress the brake pedal to  
disengage the cruise control and bring the tractor to  
a complete stop. Then place the shift lever in the  
REVERSE position and depress the drive pedal.  
Remove the key from the ignition switch to  
prevent accidental starting.  
DRIVING ON SLOPES  
Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE on page 6 to help  
determine slopes where you may not operate safely.  
IMPORTANT: If you think you’ve struck a foreign  
object, stop the engine immediately. Remove the  
wire(s) from the spark plug(s), thoroughly inspect the  
unit for any damage, and repair the damage before  
restarting and operating the mower.  
WARNING: Do not mow on inclines with  
a slope in excess of 15 degrees (a rise of  
approximately 2-1/2 feet every 10 feet).  
The tractor could overturn and cause  
serious injury.  
USING THE LIFT LEVER  
To raise the cutting deck, move the lift lever to the  
left, then place it in the notch best suited for your  
application. Refer to SETTING THE CUTTING  
HEIGHT earlier in this section.  
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 any slope, walk the  
slope to look for possible hazards such as rocks.  
mounds, ruts, stumps or other surface irregularities  
which could cause the tractor to be upset.  
ENGAGING THE ELECTRIC PTO  
(POWER TAKE-OFF) KNOB  
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  
necessary to stop while driving up a slope, start up  
smoothly and carefully to reduce the possibility of  
flipping the tractor over backward.

The operator must remain in the tractor seat  
at all times. If the operator should leave the  
seat without pushing the PTO knob inward  
into the disengaged (OFF) position, the  
tractors engine will shut off.  
For best results it is recommended that the  
first two laps be cut with the discharge thrown  
towards the center. After the first two laps,  
reverse the direction to throw the discharge to  
the outside for the balance of cutting. This will  
give a better appearance to the lawn.  
IMPORTANT: The PTO knob cannot be in the  
engaged (ON) position when the tractor is driving in  
the reverse direction. The PTO knob must be in the  
disengaged (OFF) position when the shift lever is in  
REVERSE or the PTO will automatically shut off.  
Refer to SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCHES in this  
section.  
Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass  
invites weed growth and yellows quickly in dry  
weather.  
Mowing should always be done with the  
engine at full throttle.  
Do not mow at high ground speed, especially  
if a mulch kit or grass collector is installed.  
MOWING  
Under heavier conditions it may be necessary  
to go back over the cut area a second time to  
get a clean cut.  
This tractor is equipped with one of Cub Cadets  
high quality cutting decks. The following information  
will be helpful when using the cutting deck with your  
tractor.  
Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and  
weeds and extremely tall grass. Your tractor is  
designed to mow lawns, NOT clear brush.  
WARNING: To avoid possible injury, do  
not allow anyone in the area of the tractor  
while mowing. Even if the area to be  
mowed has been cleared of foreign  
objects, small objects may be picked up  
and discharged by the mower.  
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades  
when worn. Refer to the MAINTENANCE  
section of this manual for proper blade  
sharpening instructions.  
WARNING: Never direct the discharge  
of material toward bystanders or allow  
anyone near the machine while in  
operation.  
SECTION 9: ADJUSTMENTS  
With the tractor parked on a firm, level  
surface, place the lift lever in the top notch  
(highest position) and rotate the blade nearest  
the discharge chute so that it is parallel with  
the tractor.  
LEVELING THE DECK  
WARNING: Cutting blades are sharp.  
Always protect hands by wearing heavy  
leather work gloves to grasp blades.  
Measure the distance from the front of the  
blade tip to the ground and the rear of the  
blade tip to the ground. The first measurement  
taken should be between 1/4" and 3/8" less  
than the second measurement. Determine the  
approximate distance necessary for proper  
adjustment and proceed, if necessary, to the  
next step.  
NOTE: Check the tractors tire pressure before  
performing any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to  
TIRES in the maintenance section of this manual for  
further information regarding tire pressure.  
Front to Rear  
The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabi-  
lizer bar that can be adjusted to level the deck from  
front to rear. The front of the deck should be 1/4" to 3/  
8" lower than the rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary  
as follows:  
Loosen the two jam nuts on the rear side of  
the deck stabilizer bracket. See Figure 8A.  
Locate the two lock nuts on the opposite side  
of the stabilizer bracket. See Figure 8A.  
Tighten the lock nuts to raise the front of the  
deck; loosen the lock nuts to lower the front of  
the deck.  
WARNING: Turn the tractors engine  
off, remove the key from the ignition switch  
and apply the tractors parking brake before  
making any adjustments to the cutting  
deck.

CUTTING BLADES  
WARNING: Cutting blades are sharp.  
Always protect hands by wearing heavy  
leather work gloves to grasp blades.  
Worn Blade Edge  
Blade Separation  
The blades may be removed for sharpening or  
replacement as follows.  
Wind Wing  
Remove the deck from beneath the tractor,  
(refer to DECK REMOVAL earlier in this  
section for detailed instructions) then gently  
flip the deck over to expose its underside.  
Sharpen Edge Evenly  
Figure 21  
Place a block of wood between the center  
deck housing baffle and the cutting blade to  
act as a stabilizer. See Figure 20.  
It is extremely important that each cutting blade  
edge be ground equally to maintain proper blade  
balance. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive  
vibration when rotating at high speeds, may cause  
damage to the tractor and result in personal injury.  
The blade can be tested by balancing it on a round  
shaft screwdriver. Grind metal from the heavy side  
until it balances evenly.  
Use a 15/16" wrench to remove the hex flange  
nut that secures the blade to the spindle  
assembly. See Figure 20.  
NOTE: The hex flange nut has a right-handed  
thread pattern. Do NOT attempt to force the nut in  
the incorrect direction. Doing so may damage the  
nut and create a safety hazard.  
When replacing the blade, be sure to install the  
blade with the side of the blade marked ‘‘Bottom’’ (or  
with a part number stamped in it) facing the ground  
when the mower is in the operating position.  
Block of Wood  
Hex Flange Nut  
IMPORTANT: Use a torque wrench to tighten the  
blade spindle hex flange nut to between 70 foot-  
pounds and 90 foot-pounds.  
BATTERY  
The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid  
levels cannot be checked.  
Spindle  
Assembly  
Cutting Blade  
Figure 20  
Always keep the battery cables and terminals  
clean and free of corrosive build-up.  
To properly sharpen the cutting blades, remove  
equal amounts of metal from both ends of the blades  
along the cutting edges. See Figure 21.  
Sharpen the cutting edge straight across, parallel to  
the trailing edge, at a 25° to 30° angle. See Figure  
21.  
After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply  
a light coat of petroleum jelly or grease to the  
terminals and over the positive terminal boot.  
Always keep the boot positioned over the  
positive terminal to prevent shorting.  
IMPORTANT: If removing the battery for any  
reason, disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from  
its terminal first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red)  
wire. When re-installing the battery, always connect  
the POSITIVE (Red) wire its terminal first, followed  
by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire. Be certain that the  
wires are connected to the correct terminals.  
reversing them could change the polarity and cause  
damage to your engines alternating system.  
IMPORTANT: If the cutting edge of the blade has

Charging  
FUSE  
If the unit has not been put into use for an extended  
period of time, charge the battery with an  
automotive-type 12-volt charger for a minimum of  
one hour at six amps.  
A fuse is installed in your tractors wiring harness to  
protect the tractors electrical system from damage  
caused by excessive amperage. Always use the  
same capacity fuse for replacement. If the electrical  
system does not function, or your tractors engine  
will not crank, first check to be certain that the fuse  
has not blown. It can be found under the hood  
mounted behind the top of dash panel on the  
support bar. Pull the fuse out and compare it with  
Figure 22 to determine if it is good or bad.  
WARNING: Batteries give off an  
explosive gas during and for some time  
after charging. Charge battery in a well  
ventilated area and do not allow a spark or  
an open flame near the battery.  
TIRES  
The recommended operating tire pressure is  
approximately 10 psi for the rear tires and 14 psi for  
the front tires. Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire  
manufacturers

SECTION 11: LUBRICATION  
WARNING: Always stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and ground against the  
engine before performing any maintenance.  
ENGINE  
Lubricate the engine with motor oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit.  
PIVOT POINTS  
Lubricate all pivot points (drive pedal, brake pedal, etc.) at least once a season with light oil.  
LINKAGE  
Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive, brake and lift linkage at least once a season with SAE 30 engine oil.  
STEERING GEAR  
Lubricate the teeth of the steering gear with an all-purpose automotive grease every 25 hours of operation or  
once a season.  
WHEELS  
Both the front wheels and the rear wheels should be removed from the axles once a season. Lubricate the  
axles and the rims well with an all-purpose automotive grease before re-installing them.  
FRONT AXLES  
Your tractor is equipped with grease fittings on the ends of the front pivot bar. See Figure 10. Lubricate both  
the left and the right front axles with a grease gun at least once a season.  
BLADE SPINDLES  
Your tractors cutting deck is equipped with grease fittings on the sides of the blade spindle assemblies.  
Lubricate each spindle with a grease gun at least once a season.

Blown fuse  
Refer to operators manual for fuse location. Replace fuse with automotive type fuse of  
the proper amperage. Fuses seldom fail without a reason. The problem must be  
corrected. Check for loose connections in the fuse holder. Replace fuse holder if nec-  
essary. A dead short may be in the cranking or charging circuit where the insulation  
may have rubbed through and exposed the bare wire. Replace the wire or repair with  
electrician's tape if the wire strands have not been damaged.  
Note: Look for a wire pinched between body panels, burned by the exhaust pipe or  
muffler or rubbed against a moving part.
