SAFETY/DECALS

c) If diluted sulfuric acid has gotten
on the skin of clothing: Wash away
the diluted sulfuric acid completely
with a lot of clean running water and
neutralize with soap solution.
Then rinse with water.

9. Before starting any work on
electrical equipment or work that
may cause you to touch the
electrical parts accidentally, first
disconnect the battery cables.
Never remove the rubber cap
cover at the positive terminal of
the battery cable end. Before
connecting the battery to the
charger, make sure that the
charger switch is in “OFF” position.
Be sure to connect the charger to
the correct terminals on the battery
(positive to positive, negative to
negative).
A great amount of hydrogen gas is
generated by the battery when it is
being charged. Take precautions
against fire: Do not have any
exposed flame in the area where
you are working.
Be sure not to cause any leakage
of the electrolyte, since it will
corrode the skin or clothing.
In case of accident as described
below, immediately seek first aid,
and see a doctor immediately for
proper treatment.

d) If the diluted sulfuric acid is spilled:
Wash away with a lot of water or
neutralize with slacked lime or
bicarbonate of soda.

10. Stop the engine and make sure
the PTO shift lever is in Neutral
before performing any of the
following services, including.
a) Removal of the propeller shaft
between PTO and any attachment.
b) Adjustment of PTO drive train
and hitch.
c) Adjustment or cleaning of PTO
driven attachment.

a) If the diluted sulfuric acid from
the battery has gotten into
the eyes:
Cleanse the eyes with a lot of
clean running water for more
than 15 minutes, while opening
the eyes widely.

11.The steering wheel always has
built-in play to some extent, which
is required for smooth meshing
of sector gear and pinion gear.
Always inspect the amount of
the play. Do not operate the
tractor if there is too much or
too little play in the steering.

b) If diluted sulfuric acid from the
battery has been swallowed:
Rinse the mouth with clean
water immediately and drink
a lot of raw eggs or milk. Lie
down quietly.

SAFETY/DECALS

C. OPERATION OF THE TRACTOR
Before driving the tractor,
follow these rules:
C-1. Before starting and Driving
the Tractor
Operate the tractor only when
seated properly in operator’s seat
and keep a firm grip on the
steering wheel at all times.
Never attempt to perform any
operation of the tractor from
anywhere else, on or off the tractor.
Always wear a “hard hat” when
operating the tractor.

To start traveling, lower the
engine speed and release the
clutch pedal slowly.
Before leaving the tractor, stop
the engine, remove the key,
apply the parking brake and
make sure that the engine has
come to a complete stop, and
any attachment is completely
touching the ground.

C-2. Starting and Driving the Tractor
Always operate the tractor at the
proper speeds which enable you
to keep the tractor in complete
control.

4

SAFETY/DECALS

When starting the engine in an
enclosed area or building, ensure
proper ventilation by opening the
doors and/or windows to prevent
carbon monoxide inhalation.
Mount the extension exhaust pipe
on the tractor which has a cabin.

Slow down when operating the
tractor on rough ground.

Never attempt to jump on or off
a moving tractor.

When starting the tractor,
operating any attachment or
engaging the PTO make sure
that no one is in the way,
especially children.

5

SAFETY/DECALS

C-3. Traveling on Roads and Streets
For traveling on roads and streets
be sure to lock both brake pedals
together before driving to prevent
either brake from acting
independently.

C-4. Steering and Turning the
Tractor
Slow down your tractor and
disengage the differential lock
before going into a turn, being
careful to prevent any attachments
mounted on the front or rear from
hitting anyone or anything
C-5. Towing and Operating
on Hills
For towing work on downward
slope, place the shift lever in low
speed and use engine brake.
Never try to reduce the speed with
brake only.
Towing a heavy object on a hill is
highly hazardous.
Widen the tread of the tractor and
mount the wheel weight or chassis
weight to increase the stability
and operate with extra precaution.

Never operate the differential lock
while driving at high speed or
traveling on the road. For driving
the 4-WD tractor on the road,
be sure to place the 4-WD shift
lever in OFF position.

6

SAFETY/DECALS

Avoid operating the tractor on
an extreme slope that appears
hazardous, when forced to
operate on such slope, use extra
care. Driving forward out of a ditch
or mired condition or up a steep
slope could cause tractor to tip
over rearward.
Back out of such situation if possible.
If the situation does not permit you
to back out, use the front wheel
weight or the chassis weight for
balancing the tractor lengthwise.
Also in case any extra-heavy rear
mounting attachment is used, try
to obtain better balance in this
manner.

When operating the tractor on
either a steep slope or flat ground,
be sure not to suddenly steer,
brake, clutch or operate
attachments.
Do not operate the tractor at the
edge of cliff or slope. Be
particularly careful right after the
rain when soil is soft and may
give way easily.

C-6. Using Attachment
To mount or operate attachment,
follow the instruction manual for
the particular attachment for safe
operation.

For towing, be sure to use the
drawbar only. Set the hitch point
below the center line of the rear axle.
When using a chain, never try to
move forward abruptly.

When using agricultural
chemicals with an attachment
on the tractor, always follow the
instructions in the manual for
the attachment as well as the
instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.

Starting Procedure for Hydrostatic Drive Tractors
After Transporting on Truck or Flatcar
IMPORTANT: Hydrostatic transmission can jump into gear without warning,
if the fluid leaks out of the control system. This can occur due to vibration
if the tractor is transported on a truck or rail car. It can also happen if
the transmission is drained or if the tractor sits still for very long periods.
If any of these have happened, start the tractor as follows:
1. Put the range shift control lever into the N (Engine start) slot and release
the speed lock lever to permit the speed ratio control pedal to return to
N (Neutral) position.
2. Lock the brake pedals together, press down on the brake pedals.
3. Pull the engine speed control lever and start the engine. Set the engine
speed to about 1000 RPM.

2. Connect the implement driveline to the tractor.
3. Check the driveline for correct length and for free telescopic movement
by lifting and lowering hitch system. The correct length is important to
prevent the driveline from hitting bottom or from separating in any tractor
implement operating position.

Drawbar Connecting Implements
1. Connect the implement hitch to the drawer with a hardened steel pin.
Make sure the pin is securely held in place with a cotter pin or lock pin
and does not make contact with the implement driveline.
2. Connect the implement hitch to the tractor drawbar before connecting the
implement driveline to the PTO.
3. Connect the implement driveline to the tractor. Check the driveline for
correct length and for free telescopic movement. The correct length is
important to prevent the driveline from hitting bottom or from separating
in any tractor or implement operating position.
PTO driven machinery can cause serious injury. Before working on
or near the PTO shaft, or servicing or clearing the driven machine,
put the PTO lever in the DISENGAGE position and STOP the engine.

When doing stationary PTO work and dismounting from the tractor
with the PTO running, keep clear of all moving parts as they are
a potential safety hazard.
IMPORTANT: Follow the implement manufacturers recommendations in
adjusting and aligning the implement and implement driveline with the tractor.

FIELD OPERATION

Adding Fluid after Connecting Cylinders and Hoses
Operate the engine at a moderate idle speed. Set the stroke stop at the
yoke end of the cylinder rod to provide maximum stroke. Then operate the
cylinder in both directions about ten times, by moving the control lever
up and down.
This will fill the cylinder and hoses with fluid and remove the air from the
system. Fill the cylinder completely, stop the engine and check the fluid level
with the transmission dipstick.
Add sufficient, clean specified fluid to bring the oil up to the proper level.
See TRANSMISSION AND HYDRAULIC LUBRICATION in this manual.
NOTE: If any of the hydraulic units are removed and replaced for any reason,
check the oil level and add the specified fluid to the transmission to bring
the oil up to the proper level.
When remote cylinders are connected to the hydraulic system, cycle
the control lever about three times to remove air from the cylinder
and hoses. With air in the system, raised equipment can drop
accidentally and cause personal injury or machine damage.
Hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can penetrate the
skin and cause infection or other injury.
To Prevent Personal Injury:
Relieve all pressure, before disconnecting fluid lines.
Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and
components are in good condition.
Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose.
If injured by leaking fluid, see your doctor immediately.

The implement should be lowered to the ground before uncoupling
of the remote hydraulic hoses.

Lower or block elevated implements and other attachments before
servicing or when leaving the equipment.

TIRES/WHEELS/SPACING/BALLAST

TIRE AND RIM EQUIPMENT
Tire Inflation Specifications
For normal tractor operation use the inflation pressure shown in the tire
and wheel chart. The inflation pressure are based on cold inflation pressure
recommendations by Tire and Rim Association Inc.
For maximum tractor performance always adjust the tire pressure, within
the minimum/maximum range to conform with the actual load on the tires.
Under normal conditions use the minimum pressure rating for general
drawbar work. Use the higher pressure rating, up to the maximum, for heavy
three point hitch mounted equipment, or heavy front and mounted equipment.
Example A shows the cross section of a tire inflated for maximum load but
with a minimum load on the tire. The tire tread is not making full contact
with the ground which will give poor performance.
Example B shows the cross section of a tire with inflated pressure correctly
adjusted to the load on the tire. The tire tread is making full contact with
the ground which will give maximum performance.

Tire pressure can also be adjusted as required to safely meet the following
requirements.
A. Severe Service. Tire pressure can be increased 28 kPa (4 PSI) more
than the maximum pressure shown in the chart, for tires used in severe
service. Severe service includes the furrow tire in regular plowing
operations, the downhill tire in plowing and in other hillside operations.
B. Tires With Liquid Ballast. Inflate the tires 14 kPa (2 PSI) more than
the recommended pressure. This will compensate for aeration that
occurs when the tires are in motion.
IMPORTANT: During transportation on a railroad car or trailer, the tractor
tires are often inflated to higher than normal operating pressures. Before

TIRES/WHEELS/SPACING/BALLAST

A tire can explode during inflation and cause serious injury or
death. Never increase air pressure beyond 35 PSI to seat the
bead on the rim. Replace a tire if it has a direct. Replace a wheel
rim which has cracks, wear or severe rust. Make sure that all the
air is removed from a tire before removing the tire from the rim.
Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire. Make sure
the tire is correctly seated before inflating.

Check Air Pressure
Tire Pressure Check Interval

Every 50 hours of operation or weekly.

Check the condition of the tires and rims for wear or damage. Keep the
tires inflated to the recommended pressures. See Tire and Wheel
Specifications in this manual for recommended inflation pressures for
each tire size.
For tires equipped with liquid ballast, check the air pressure as follows:
1. Use an air-water gauge. The valve must be at the bottom of the tire to
get an accurate reading.
2. Use a standard air gauge as follows:
A. The valve must be at the top of the tire.
B. Measure the rim diameter.
C. Add 3.5 kPa (1/2 PSI) for each 305 mm (12 inches) of rim diameter
to the standard gauge reading.

Tire Inflation Procedure
A tire can explode during inflation and cause serious injury or
death. Never increase air pressure beyond 35 PSI to seat the
bead on rim. Replace a tire if it has a defect. Replace a wheel
rim which has cracks, wear or severe rust. Make sure that all the
air is removed from a tire before removing the tire from the rim.
Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire. Make sure
the tire is correctly seated before inflating.
DO NOT inflate a tire that has had a complete loss of air. If the tire has
lost all air pressure, have a qualified tire mechanic service the tire.
To ADD air to a partly inflated tire, use the following procedure:
1. Use an air hose with a remote shutoff valve and a self – locking air chuck.
2. Stand behind the tread of the tire and make sure all persons are away
from the side of the tire before you start to add air.
3. Inflate the tire to the recommended air pressure. DO NOT inflate the
tire more than the recommended pressure.
NOTE: Tires can be inflated 28 kPa (4 PSI) over maximum recommended
in chart when tractor is used for heavy draft operation and ground compaction
is not a problem.

TRACTOR BALLAST
Ballast for your tractor includes front-end weights, rear wheel weights and
liquid ballast in the rear tires. Front-end weights improve the steering
characteristic when heavy hitch loads cause a movement of tractor weight
from the front to the rear wheels. Rear wheel weights and adding liquid to
the rear tires increase traction by putting weight on the driving wheels.
IMPORTANT: The Maximum operating weight of tractor should not exceed
the following values. The operating weight of tractor includes the weight of
tractor, ballast weight and implement.
Front Axle
1350kg (2977 lbs)
Rear Axle
1350kg (2977 lbs)
Total
2200kg (4851 lbs)

Front End Weights
Front-end weights can be mounted on the front-end bracket of the tractor
with locking bolts and nuts. The weights, locking bolts and nuts are available
from your Dealer. A maximum of six weights at 22 kg (49 lbs) each can be
installed, depending on implement application and soil conditions.
Use front-end weights as needed to provide effective steering control and
front end stability and to achieve maximum operating efficiency and tractor
filed performance. Refer to the weight table in this section for optional
methods of adding weight to the tractor.

Daily before starting the engine, check the coolant level the coolant reserve
bottle. The coolant level should be between the "FULL" and "LOW" lines
when the engine is cool.

Pressure Cooling System
Check and service cooling system according to maintenance
instructions. Hot coolant can spray out if radiator cap is removing
while system is hot. To remove radiator cap, let system cool, turn
to first notch, and then wait until all pressure is released. Scalding
can result from fast removal of radiator cap.
1. The pressure cap on a pressure
cooling system has a control valve
that operates as a SAFETY RELIEF
PRESSURE CAP
VALVE to keep the pressure within
the system operating range.
Operating the engine without a
pressure cap or with a pressure cap
that has a control valve that is not
set to operate at the correct
pressure can cause damage.
2. A pressure cooling system decreases the loss of coolant caused by
evaporation or boiling. The system must have good seals at the radiator
cap, hoses and hose connections. It is important that you stop ALL
LEAKS OF ANY SIZE as soon as the leaks are found. A small leak can
become a large flow when pressure is increased in the cooling system.
While the tractor is in operation, a weak hose can break and cause injury
or damage. Check all hoses and hose connections with frequency. KEEP
HOSES, HOSE CONNECTIONS AND PRESSURE CAP IN GOOD
CONDITION.
87

LUBRICATION/FILTERS/FRUIDS

Coolant Solutions
Your tractor cooling system is equipped with an ethylene glycol coolant
solution that has a high boiling point.
IMPORTANT: Change the coolant solution at the change interval
recommended in this manual (See Lubrication and service Chart). The heat
generated by the diesel engine causes a natural change in the inhibitors in the
coolant, which results in loss of corrosion protection. The loss of the inhibitors
may cause water pump cavitations and cylinder block erosion.
Install only ethylene glycol coolant solution in the cooling system. Use a
good quality, high boiling point, ethylene glycol that does not have any
additives to stop leaks. Do not install any rust inhibitors that are not approved.
It is possible that the rust inhibitors and ethylene glycol will not mix and
work against each other to decrease corrosion protection, form deposits
in the cooling system and cause damage to the cooling system and
the radiator.
Do not use a low boiling point, alcohol type coolant solution.
The boiling point of alcohol is below the tractor minimum operating
temperature; loss of coolant due to evaporation will result.
IMPORTANT: Always have a minimum of 50 percent ethylene glycol
coolant in the cooling system at all times and at all ambient temperature
ranges. Do not install more than 50 percent ethylene glycol in the cooling
system unless the ambient air temperature will be less than -37 C (-34 F)
More than 50 percent ethylene glycol decreases heat transfer and will cause
the engine surface temperature to be higher than normal.

system is empty.

2.

Install a good type of radiator cleaner and fill the system with clean water.
Follow the instructions given with the radiator cleaner.

3.

Remove the radiator cleaner solution. Flush the system with clean water.

Fill the cooling system with the coolant solution specified in this manual.
Install coolant system treatment (If required). See Coolant Solutions
in this manual for more information.

5.

Check the hoses, radiator, pump and water manifold for leaks.

IMPORTANT: Never drain the coolant when the engine is hot.
NOTE: After the cooling system is completely filled, run the engine for
approximately five minutes to remove all air from the system. Check the
coolant level and add coolant if needed.

BATTERY
Auxiliary Battery Connections
Engine can start with transmission in gear when neutral or safety
start switch is by-passed:
1. Do not connect across terminals on starter.
2. Attach a booster battery by connecting the positive terminal of
the booster battery to the "positive terminal" provided or to the
positive terminal of the machine battery. Connect the negative
terminal of the booster battery to the "negative terminal"
provided or to the chassis of the machine.
Then use recommended starting procedures from operators
seat.
3. When necessary repair electrical system components promptly
so that "jump starting" will not be attempted.
Machine run-away can cause injury or death to operator and
bystanders.
When connecting an auxiliary battery or charger to the tractor battery,
make sure you connect positive-to-positive and negative on the auxiliary
battery to the tractor side rail as a ground.
Do not connect auxiliary battery cables across the terminals of the starter.
Start the engine from the operator's seat.
IMPORTANT: This is the only safe method to start the tractor engine with
an external power supply. Any other method of starting can cause injury or
death to the operator or other persons.

Battery Cables and Terminals
The battery Terminals must be kept
clean and tight. A good method to
clean terminals is to use Battery Saver.
If Saver is not available, remove all
corrosion with a wire brush, then
wash with a weak solution of baking
soda or ammonia. Put some petroleum
jelly or light grease on terminals to
prevent corrosion.

Removal and Installation of Battery
To remove the battery, disconnect the battery cables and remove the
battery bracket. When the battery is installed, make sure the cables are
installed on the correct terminals. This is a 12-volt, negative ground
electrical system and must be so connected.
NOTE: When disconnecting the battery, remove the negative cable first
from the battery and reconnect it last for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT: Do not start or operate the engine with the electrical system
not completely connected.

115

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

When Charging the Battery
IMPORTANT: Battery can explode during boosting or charging. Always
wear proper eye protection, such as a safety goggles.
If the electric circuit inside the battery is broken, charging can generate a
spark inside the battery, which can cause it to explode. If the battery is
discharged, and the reason for discharge is unknown and if the lamps or
horn do not indicate some battery voltage, check the battery with a volt
meter for an open circuit using following procedure.
1.
2.
3.
4.

5.

Disconnect the negative (-) cable.
Connect the voltmeter across battery terminals.
If there is no voltage present, an open internal circuit is indicated.
Replace the battery.
If voltage is present, the battery is okay to charge. Charge the battery
with a current of 4 amperes for 5 to 10 hours. To charge the battery
quickly for urgent need, use a current of 25 amperes for 30 minutes or
less. A current larger than specified will cause liquid overflow due to
foaming.
The specific gravity of electrolyte of a fully charged battery is 1.280 at
20 C (68 F).

NOTE:
1. If using a battery charger, be certain the charger is turned off before
connecting to the battery.
2. Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
3. Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery.
When working around storage batteries, remember that all of the
exposed metal parts are "live". Never lay a metal object across
the terminals because a spark or short circuit may result.

When Battery Is Not in Use
When the tractor is not in use, the battery will need a charge every three
mouths to keep the specific gravity at or above 1.240. A storage battery
not in use will slowly discharge. A battery that has discharged can freeze
at low ambient temperature and cause damage to the battery and tractor.

116

STORAGE

STORING THE TRACTOR
When your tractor is not to be used for some time, it should be stored in
a dry and protected place. Leaving your tractor outdoors, exposed to the
elements, will shorten its life. Follow the procedure outlined below when
your tractor is placed in storage for periods up to approximately six months.
See your Dealer for the procedure on longer storage periods.
A. Store the tractor so the tires are protected from light. Before storing
the tractor, clean the tires thoroughly, Jack up the tractor, when it is to be
out of service for a long period. If not jacked up, inflate the tires at regular
intervals.
B. Run the engine long enough to thoroughly warm the oil in the crankcase,
and then drain the oil. Change the oil filter as instructed in Engine Oil Filter.
Refill the crankcase with new oil as specified in Engine Oil Selection in this
manual and run the engine for five minutes.
C. Fill the fuel tank with a good grade of Number Two diesel engine fuel.
If this grade has not been used regularly, drain the fuel and refill. Run the
engine for about five minutes to circulate the fuel through the injection
system.
D. Drain flush and fill the cooling system with an antifreeze mixture ratio
to protect the engine to the lowest anticipated temperature or a minimum
of 50 % antifreeze and add cooling system conditioner. See COOLING
SYSTEM in this manual.
E. Do not remove the battery from the tractor, except for prolonged
storage at below freezing temperature. The battery should be fully changed
to prevent freezing of electrolyte. Disconnect the negative ground cable
at the battery to prevent possible discharge.
F. Clutch assembly may become
bound together if a tractor is not used
for an extended period of time. A
clutch lock latch is provided on your
tractor to lock the clutch in the
disengaged position and should be
used to prevent this condition if your
tractor is not used for an extended
period of time.

CLUTCH LOCK LATCH

STORAGE

REMOVING FROM STORAGE
Be sure that the grade of oil in the engine crankcase is as specified in
Engine Oil Selection in this manual.
A. Loosen the fuel tank drain plug and fuel filter cup, and be sure all water
and sediment has drained from the fuel system before closing.
Tighten the drain plug and replace the filter cup.
B. Check the level of the coolant in the radiator.
C. Check engine oil level.
D. Check hydraulic fluid level.
E. See that the battery is fully charged and that the terminal connections
are clamped tightly.
F.

On hydrostatic drive tractors, follow the same procedure for starting as
Starting Procedure for Hydrostatic Drive Tractors after Transporting on
truck or flatcar in this manual.

G. Start the engine and let it run slowly.
IMPORTANT: Keep the doors wide open and move the machine outside of
the storage room immediately to avoid danger from exhaust fumes. Do not
accelerate the engine rapidly or operate it at high speed immediately after
starting.

NOTE: CUB CADET CORPORATION reserves the right to make
improvements in design or changes in specifications at any time without
incurring any obligation to install them on units previously sold.
