Cub Cadet Z-Force S Manual De Usuario

To tighten or loosen the tension on the belt, tighten or loosen 

the jam nuts on the U-rod, see Fig. 6-8, until a ten-pound pull 

with a spring scale deflects the belt about 1⁄2”.

Move the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably 

pavement, and proceed as follows
1. 

Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing 

the deck lift pedal in the normally desired mowing height 

setting.

2. 

Check the deck wheels for contact or excessive clearance 

with the surface below. The deck wheels should have 

between ¼-½” clearance above the ground. 

3. 

If the deck wheels have excessive clearance or contact with 

the surface, adjust as follows:

a.  Raise the deck lift pedal to its highest setting.
b.  Remove the front and rear deck wheels by removing 

the lock nuts and shoulder bolts which secure them 

to the deck. See Fig. 6-9.

c.  Place the deck lift pedal in the desired mowing 

height setting.

d.  Reinsert the shoulder bolts (with each gauge wheel) 

into the index hole that leaves approximately 

½-inch between the bottom of the wheel and the 

pavement.

If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake 

lever is completely engaged, or if the tractor’s rear wheels can 

roll with the parking brake applied (and the hydrostatic relief 

valve open), the brake is in need of adjustment. See your Cub 

Cadet dealer to have the brake properly adjusted.
