Cub Cadet 1525 Manual De Usuario

16

Model 1525 & 1527 lawn tractors come equipped with a 
mulch kit which incorporates special blades, already 
standard on your tractor, in a process of recirculating 
grass clippings repeatedly beneath the cutting deck. 
The ultra-fine clippings are then blown back into the 
lawn where they act as a natural fertilizer. Observe the 
following points for the best results when mulching.

•

Never attempt to mulch if the lawn is damp. Wet 
grass tends to stick to the underside of the cutting 
deck preventing proper mulching of the clippings.

•

Do NOT attempt to mulch more than 1/3 the total 
height of the grass or approximately 1-1/2 inches. 
Doing so will cause the clippings to clump up 
beneath the deck and not be mulched effectively.

•

Maintain a slow ground speed to allow the grass 
clippings more time to effectively be mulched.

•

Always position the throttle control lever in the 
FAST (rabbit) position and allow it to remain there 
while mowing. Failing to keep the engine at full 
throttle places strain on the tractor’s engine and 
does not allow the blades to properly mulch grass.

To operate the cutting deck without mulching, simply 
remove the mulch plug by unthreading the plastic wing 
nut which fastens it to the cutting deck. This will allow 
the clippings to discharge out the side. See Figure 11.

Never attempt to make any

adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in the operator’s
manual.

Disconnect the spark plug

wire(s) and ground against the engine before
performing any adjustments, repairs or
maintenance.

The carburetor is a main component of the emission 
control system and should be adjusted or serviced only 
by a qualified mechanic. 

The carburetor’s main fuel jet is fixed. The low idle fuel 
adjusting needle has only minimal adjustment and 
normally does not need adjustment.

If the engine is hard to start, runs roughly, or stalls at 
low idle speed, contact your Cub Cadet dealer for 
carburetor service.
