READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR LAWN MOWER. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. WHEN YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL, HEED ITS WARNING. WARNING: The Engine Exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. DANGER: Your lawn mower was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. This lawn mower is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death. 1. GENERAL OPERATION • Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the 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. • Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blade(s), place transmission in neutral, set park brake, stop engine and remove key before dismounting. • 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. • Turn off blade(s) when not mowing. • 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 closefitting 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. 3 3. CHILDREN • Disengage all attachment clutches, thoroughly depress the brake pedal, and shift into neutral before attempting to start engine. 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 children 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. 2. SLOPE OPERATION • Before and when backing, look behind and down for small children. Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tipover 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. 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 carry children, even with the blades off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with the safe machine operation. • 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. • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability. • Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling. • Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine. • Replace fuel cap securely and wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine as it may cause a fire or explosion. • 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. • Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition. • 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. 4 • Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds are dangerous. • Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. • 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 your safety protection, frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts when necessary. • 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. • Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing blade(s). • DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground, down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or other body of water. Observe Environmental Protection Agency regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries, tires and other harmful waste. • Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required. • Muffler, engine and belt guards become hot during operation and can cause a burn. Allow to cool down before touching.

Then place the shift lever in the REVERSE position and depress the AutoDrive pedal. • Remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent accidental starting. ™ 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. DRIVING ON SLOPES Refer to the SLOPE GAUGE on page 6 to help determine slopes where you may not operate safely. 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. 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. 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. 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. ENGAGING THE PTO (POWER TAKE-OFF) LEVER • Move the throttle control lever to the FAST (rabbit) position. • Move the PTO lever forward into the engaged (ON) position. • Keep the throttle lever in the FAST (rabbit) position for the most efficient use of the cutting deck and other attachments. • The operator must remain in the tractor seat at all times. If the operator should leave the seat without moving the PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position and setting the parking brake, the engine will shut off. OPERATING THE HEADLIGHTS To turn the tractor’s headlights on: • Start the engine following the instructions earlier in this section. IMPORTANT: The PTO lever cannot be in the • Turn the key one notch counterclockwise into the On/Lights position of the ignition switch.

The safety interlock system will automatically shut off the engine if the PTO lever is moved into the engaged (ON) position with the shift lever in the REVERSE position. Refer to SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCHES earlier in this section. 13 MOWING • Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass invites weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather. 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. • 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. 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. • 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. WARNING: Never direct the discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation. • Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for proper blade sharpening instructions. • 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. SECTION 9: ADJUSTMENTS LEVELING THE DECK 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. WARNING: Cutting blades are sharp.
