NOTE: This Operator’s Manual covers several models. Tractor 
features may vary by model. Not all features in this manual are 
applicable to all tractor models and the tractor depicted may 
differ from yours.
WARNING! 
Before performing any maintenance or 
repairs, disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, 
stop the engine and remove the key to prevent 
unintended starting.
Battery
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories 
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known 
to the State of California to cause cancer and 
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid levels cannot 
be checked and fluid can not be added.
• 
Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean and free 
of corrosive build-up.
• 
After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a light coat 
of petroleum jelly or grease to both terminals.
CAUTION: 
If removing the battery for cleaning, 
disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s terminal 
first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. When re-
installing the battery, always connect the POSITIVE 
(Red) wire its terminal first, followed by the NEGATIVE 
(Black) wire. Be certain that the wires are connected to 
the correct terminals; reversing them could result in 
serious damage to your engine’s alternating system. 
Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for all engine maintenance 
procedures and instructions.
NOTE: If the “LOW OIL” text appears immediately after 
the engine is started the oil pressure may be low. This is 
normal. If the low oil indication persists stop the tractor 
immediately and check the engine oil level as instructed in 
the Engine Operator’s Manual.
NOTE: The “Low Oil” function only works if the engine is 
equipped with an oil pressure switch. 
Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING 
! If the engine has been recently run, 
the engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces 
will be hot and can cause burns to the skin.  Exercise 
caution to avoid burns.
To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. 
Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine oil. The 
oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities. 
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. 
Locate the oil drain hose on the side of the engine.
3. 
Place an appropriate oil collection container with at least a 
2.5 quart capacity below the opening of the oil drain tube, 
to collect the used oil. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick from 
the oil fill tube.
4. 
Remove the oil drain hose from the clip on the left side of 
the frame. See Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1
5. 
Remove the oil drain hose plug from the end of the hose. 
See Figure 6-1. Drain the engine oil into the collection 
container.
6. 
After draining the oil, wipe any residual oil from the oil drain 
hose. Replace the plug on the drain hose and fully tighten. 
Replace the oil drain hose into the clip and snap the clip to 
secure.
7. 
Replace the oil filter, and refill the engine with new oil as 
instructed in the engine operator’s manual.
8. 
To refill the oil, re-install the plug at the end of the tube 
and refer to the engine operator’s manual for refilling 
instructions, oil type and amount.
NOTE : Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission 
control devices and systems which are being done at 
owner’s expense may be performed by any engine repair 
establishment or individual. Warranty repairs must be 
performed by a Cub Cadet Dealer.
Hydrostatic Transmission
The hydrostatic transmission is sealed at the factory and is 
maintenance-free. The fluid level cannot be checked and the 
fluid cannot be changed.
Hydrostatic Neutral Adjustment
If the tractor creeps forward or rearward when neither the forward 
nor reverse pedal is depressed,  contact your local Cub Cadet 
dealer to have the hydrostatic control rods properly adjusted.
