the desired turn. Turn the steering wheel back to the
center position
as the turn is completed.
NOTE: It is not necessary to release the drive pedal when
making a turn. The change to the transmission
linkage
occurs regardless of how far the drive pedal is depressed.
When the steering wheel is straightened,
the tractor will
return to the speed set by the drive pedal.
•
Turning the steering wheel fully to its stop in either
direction
will fully turn the front wheels, reverse the
direction
of the inner wheel and adjust the outer wheel
speed to execute a zero turn in the chosen direction.
Turn the steering wheel back to the center position
as
the turn is completed.
NOTE: As the steering wheel is turned further toward
its stop, the effort
needed to turn the steering wheel
increases.
IMPORTANT:
Making tight or zero turns on grass will
greatly increase the potential
for defacement
of the turf.
Driving On Slopes
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE on page 7 to
help determine
slopes where you may operate the tractor
safely.
•
Mow up and down slopes, never across.
•
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Avoid turns when driving
on a slope. If a turn must
be made, turn downhill
on the slope. Turning uphill
increases the possibility
of a tractor rollover.
•
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.
Engaging the Parking Brake
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running or the engine will
automatically
shut off.
To set the parking brake:
1. Press the brake pedal completely
down with you right
foot and hold it that position.
2. Push the parking brake lever downward
and hold it in
that position.
3. Remove your foot from the brake pedal.
4. Release pressure from the parking brake lever.
After completing
step 3, the brake pedal should remain
in the down position.
If it doesn't, the parking
brake is not
enaged. Repete steps 1-4 to engage the parking brake.
To disengage
the parking brake, lightly press the brake
pedal.
_
ARNING: Never leave a running
machine
unattended.
Always disengage
PTO, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended
starting
Engagingthe PTO
Engaging the PTO transfers power to the cutting
deck or
other (separately available) attachments.
To engage the
PTO:
1. Move the throttle
control lever to the FAST (rabbit)
position.
2. Pull the PTO/Blade Engage knob outward
into the
engaged
(ON) position.
NOTE: Always operate the tractor with the throttle
lever
in the FAST (rabbit) position
for the most efficient
use of
the cutting
deck or other (separately
available) PTO driven
attachments.
Mowing
_
ARNING: To help avoid blade contact or a
thrown
object injury, keep bystanders,
helpers,
children
and pets at least 75 feet from the
machine while it is in operation.
Stop machine
if anyone enters the area.
This tractor is equipped
with one of Cub Cadet's high
quality cutting
decks. The following
information
will be
helpful when using the cutting
deck with your tractor.
•
Do not mow at high ground
speed, especially if a mulch
kit or grass collector
is installed.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Under heavier conditions it may be necessary to go back
over the cut area a second time to get a clean cut.
•
Do not attempt
to mow heavy brush and weeds and
extremely
tall grass. Your tractor is designed
to mow
lawns, not clear brush.
•
Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when
worn. Refer to the "SERVICE" section of this manual for
proper blade sharpening
instructions.
IMPORTANT: When stopping
the tractor for any reason
while on a grass surface, always
•
Place the shift lever in neutral,
•
Engage the parking brake,
•
Shut engine off and remove the key
Doing so will minimize
the possibility
of having your lawn
"browned"
by hot exhaust from your tractor's running
engine
