Towing
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch
designed for towing. Do not attach towed
equipment except at the hitch point.
Follow the manufacturers recommenda-
tion for weight limits for towed equipment
and towing on slopes.
Never allow children or others in or on
towed equipment.
On slopes, the weight of the towed equip-
ment may cause loss of traction and loss
of control.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to
stop.
Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
Service
Safe Handling of Gasoline:
To avoid personal injury or property dam-
age use extreme care in handling gaso-
line.
Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive. Serious
personal injury can occur when gasoline
is spilled on yourself or your clothes which
can ignite. Wash your skin and change
clothes immediately.
Use only an approved gasoline
container.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic
liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment on
a trailer with a portable container, rather
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening at
all times until fueling is complete. Do not
use a nozzle lock-open device.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes
and other sources of ignition.
Never fuel machine indoors.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while
the engine is hot or running. Allow en-

gine to cool at least two minutes before
refueling.
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no
more than ½ inch below bottom of filler
neck to allow space for fuel expansion.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten
securely.
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the
engine and equipment. Move machine
to another area. Wait 5 minutes before
starting the engine.
To reduce fire hazards, keep machine
free of grass, leaves, or other debris
build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and
remove any fuel soaked debris.
Never store the machine or fuel
container inside where there is an open
flame, spark or pilot light as on a water
heater, space heater, furnace, clothes
dryer or other gas appliances.
Allow a machine to cool at least five
minutes before storing.
General Service
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly
ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odorless, and
deadly gas.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting,
make certain the blade(s) and all moving
parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark
plug wire and ground against the engine
to prevent unintended starting.
Periodically check to make sure the
blades come to complete stop within
approximately (5) five seconds after oper-
ating the blade disengagement control. If
the blades do not stop within the this time
frame, your machine should be serviced
professionally by an authorized Cub Cadet
Service Dealer.
Check brake operation frequently as it is
subjected to wear during normal opera-
tion. Adjust and service as required.
Check the blade(s) and engine mounting
bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness. Also, visually inspect blade(s)
for damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent,
cracked). Replace the blade(s) with
