Cub Cadet LT1045 Manual De Usuario

Located in the center of the tractor’s console, the hour 
meter operates whenever the ignition key is rotated out 
of the STOP position and records the actual hours of 
tractor operation. See Figure 3. 

Your tractor is equipped with four indicator lights in the 
center of its dash panel. If the Brake light or PTO/Blade 
Engage light illuminates when attempting to start the 
unit, proceed as follows:

Brake — 

Engage the parking brake.

PTO/ Blade Engage — 

Move the PTO/Blade Engage knob into the 

disengaged (OFF) position.

It is normal for the Oil light and the Battery light to 
illuminate while the engine is cranking, but if either 
illuminates while the engine is running, proceed as 
follows:

Oil—

Stop the tractor immediately and check the

crankcase oil level as instructed on page 
19 of this manual. Add oil as required.

Battery—

If this light illuminate’s while the engine is

running, it indicates that the battery is in
need of a charge OR that the engine’s
charging system is not generatingsufficient 
amperage. Refer to Battery on page 26 of 
this manual for the properbattery charging 
procedure or have theengine’s charging 
system checked by aCub Cadet dealer.

Found on your tractor’s right fender, the deck lift lever is 
used to change the height of the cutting deck. To use, 
move the lever to the left, then place in the notch best 
suited for your application.

To engage the power to the 
cutting deck or other (separately 
available) attachments, pull 
outward on the PTO/Blade 
Engage knob. Push the PTO/
Blade Engage knob inward to 
disengage the power to the 
cutting deck.

The cruise control 
lever is located on 
the tractor dash 
panel, below the steering wheel. Push the cruise 
control lever downward while traveling forward at a 
desired speed. While holding the lever down, release 
pressure from the drive pedal. 

This will engage the cruise control and allow the tractor 
to remain at that speed without applying pressure to the 
drive pedal. Depress the brake pedal or the drive pedal 
to deactivate cruise control. Refer to page 14 for 
detailed instructions regarding the cruise control 
feature.

To set the parking 
brake, fully depress 
the brake pedal and 
push the parking brake lever down. Hold the lever down 
while taking your foot off the brake pedal. Both the 
parking lever and the brake pedal will then stay 
depressed. To release the parking brake, depress the 
brake pedal slightly. The parking brake lever will then 
return to its original position.

 Always set the parking brake when 

leaving the tractor unattended.
