Fuse

WARNING!

Before servicing, repairing, or

inspecting, always disengage PTO, set parking

brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent

unintended starting.

A fuse is installed in your tractor’s wiring harness to protect the

tractor’s electrical system from damage caused by excessive

amperage.
If the electrical system does not function, or your tractor’s engine

will not crank, check to be certain that the fuse has not blown. It

is located under the hood, mounted behind the top of the dash

panel on the support bar.

CAUTION:

Always use a replacement fuse with the

same amperage capacity as the blown fuse.

Tires

WARNING!

Never exceed the maximum inflation

pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.

Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer’s

recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate.
Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to mow

unevenly.

Changing the Transmission Drive Belt

Several components must be removed and special tools used in

order to change the tractor’s transmission drive belt. See your

Cub Cadet dealer to have the transmission drive belt replaced.

Changing the Deck Belt

WARNING!

Shut the engine off and remove

ignition key before removing the cutting blade(s) for

sharpening or replacement. Protect your hands by

using heavy gloves when grasping blades and

pulleys.

WARNING!

The V-belts found on your tractor are

specially designed to engage and disengage safely.

A substitute (non-OEM) V-belt can be dangerous by

not disengaging completely. For a proper working

machine, use factory approved belts.

replaced if any signs of wear are present. To change or replace
