Cub Cadet Z-Force S Manual De Usuario

Before performing any service, place 

the PTO switch in the “OFF” position, engage the 

parking brake lever, turn the ignition key to the 

“OFF” position and remove the key from the switch.

Battery posts, terminals and related 

accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash 

hands after handling.

The battery is located beneath the seat frame. To remove the battery:
1. 

Push down and back on the battery hold-down bracket as 

shown in Fig. 7-1 to free it from the seat mount frame.

2. 

Remove the hex cap screw and sems nut securing the black 

negative battery lead to the negative battery post (marked 

NEG). Move the cable away from the negative battery post.

3. 

Remove the hex cap screw and sems nut securing the red 

positive battery lead to the positive battery post (marked POS).

4. 

Carefully lift the battery out of the tractor.

5. 

Install the battery by repeating the above steps in the 

reverse order. 

Always connect the positive lead to 

the battery before connecting the negative lead. 

This will prevent sparking or possible injury from an 

electrical short caused by contacting the tractor 

body with tools being used to connect the cables.

Test and, if necessary, recharge the battery after the tractor has 

been stored for a period of time.
• 

A voltmeter or load tester should read 12.6 volts (DC) or 

higher across the battery terminals. See Fig. 7-2.

Charge the battery with a 12-volt battery charger at a 

MAXIMUM rate of 10 amps.

A fuse is installed to protect the tractor’s electrical system from 

damage caused by excessive amperage. Always use the same 

capacity fuse for replacement. If the electrical system does not 

function, check for a blown fuse.
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, have the tractor’s 

electrical system checked by your Cub Cadet Service Dealer.

There are several safety switches in the electrical system. If a 

function of the safety interlock system described earlier is not 

functioning properly, have the electrical system checked by your 

Cub Cadet Service Dealer.
