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.

Stopping The Tractor

Fully depress the brake pedal to bring

the tractor to a complete stop, engage

the parking brake, disengage the

PTO, turn the ignition switch to “OFF’”

and remove the key from the switch

before dismounting.

Using the Hydraulic Lift System

To raise an attachment using the

hydraulic lift system, the engine must

be running. Generally, an attachment

can be lowered with the engine

running or off. Push the hydraulic lift

lever forward to lower an attachment

or pull the hydraulic lift lever back to

raise an attachment.

Opening Tool Box

A convenient tool box and manual

pouch is located under the seat. To

access this area, pivot the seat forward.

Engaging The PTO

• Move throttle control lever to ap-

proximately the mid throttle position.

• Pull the PTO switch to the “RUN”

position.

• Advance the throttle lever to the

operating speed (full engine speed).

• The operator must remain in the

tractor seat at all times. If the

operator should leave the seat

without turning off the PTO switch,

the tractor’s engine will shut off.

IMPORTANT: The PTO clutch can-

not be operated when the tractor is

driving in the reverse direction. The

PTO switch must be in the “OFF” posi-

tion when the reverse control pedal is

depressed, or the PTO clutch will auto-

matically disengage. To re-engage the

PTO clutch, release the reverse con-

trol pedal, move the PTO switch to the

“OFF” position, then again pull the

switch to the “RUN” position.

Using The Drawbar

Drawbar equipment must be hitched to

the tractor only at the hitch hole. See

Figure 13.

Mowing

WARNING: To avoid possi-

ble injury, never direct the

discharge of material toward

bystanders or allow anyone

near the machine while in op-

eration. Although the area

has been supposedly cleared

of foreign objects, small ob-

jects may be picked up and

discharged by the mower.

This tractor can be equipped with one

of Cub Cadet’s high quality mowing

decks. The following information will

be helpful when using a Cub Cadet

mowing deck with your tractor.

For best results it is recommended that

the first two laps be cut with the dis-

charge 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.

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.
