objects that may block your vision of a child 
who may run into the machine.
f.

read and understand the operation instructions and 
safety rules in this manual and should be trained 
and supervised by a parent.

weight limits for towed equipment and towing on 
slopes.

SERVICE
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE:
1.
To avoid personal injury or property damage 
use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is 
extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive
Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is 
spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite. 
Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
a. Use only an approved gasoline container.
b. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a 
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always 
place containers on the ground away from 
your vehicle before filling.
c.
When practical, remove gas-powered 
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel 
it on the ground. If this is not possible, then 
refuel such equipment on a trailer with a 
portable container, rather than from a 
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
d. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the 
fuel tank or container opening at all times 
until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle 
lock-open device.
e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and 
other sources of ignition.
f.
Never fuel machine indoors.
g. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the 
engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool 
at least two minutes before refueling.
h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more 
than ½ inch below bottom of filler neck to 
allow space for fuel expansion.
i.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
j.
If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine 
and equipment. Move unit to another area. 
Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine. 
k.
To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of 
grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean 
up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel 
soaked debris.
l.
Never store the machine or fuel container 
inside where there is an open flame, spark or 
pilot light as on a water heater, space heater, 
furnace, clothes dryer or other gas 
appliances. 
m. Allow a machine to cool at least 5 minutes 
before storing.
GENERAL SERVICE:
1.
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly 
ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon 
monoxide, an odorless, and deadly gas.
2.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make 
certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have 
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and 
ground against the engine to prevent unintended 
starting. 
3.
Periodically check to make sure the blades come to 
complete stop within approximately (5) five 
seconds after operating the blade disengagement 
control. If the blades do not stop within the this time 
frame, your unit should be serviced professionally 
by your Cub Cadet dealer.
4.
Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected 
to wear during normal operation. Adjust and service 
as required.
5.
Check the blade(s) and engine mounting bolts at 
frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also, 
visually inspect blade(s) for damage (e.g., 
excessive wear, bent, cracked). 
Replace the blade(s) with the original equipment 
manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) blade(s) only, listed in this 
manual. “Use of parts which do not meet the 
original equipment specifications may lead to 
improper performance and compromise safety!” 
6.
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear 
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
7.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the 
equipment is in safe working condition.
