To adjust the seat forward or backward, slide the seat 
adjustment lever to the left and reposition the seat to 
the desired position. Once a comfortable position is 
found, release the seat adjustment lever to lock the 
seat in place. Refer to Seat Adjustment on page 17 of this 
manual for more detailed instructions.

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.

Read, understand, and follow

all instructions and warnings on the machine
and in this manual before operating.

This tractor is equipped with a safety interlock system 
for the protection of the operator. If the interlock system 
should ever malfunction, do not operate the tractor. 
Contact a 

Cub Cadet dealer. The safety interlock 

system prevents the engine from cranking or starting 
unless the parking brake is engaged, and the PTO/
Blade Engage knob is in the disengaged (OFF) 
position.

•

The engine will automatically shut off if the operator 
leaves the seat before engaging the parking brake.

•

The engine will automatically shut off if the operator 
leaves the tractor’s seat with the PTO/Blade 
Engage knob in the engaged (ON) position, 
regardless of whether the parking brake is 
engaged.

•

The electric PTO clutch will automatically shut off if 
the PTO/Blade Engage knob is moved into the 
engaged (ON) position with the drive pedal in 
position for reverse travel.

Do not operate the tractor if the

interlock system is malfunctioning. This
system was designed for your safety and
protection.

Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing 
the deck lift lever in any of the six different cutting height 
notches on the right fender. 

To adjust the deck wheels so that they are between ¼-
inch and ½-inch above the ground as follows. 

Keep hands and feet away

from the discharge opening of the cutting
deck. 

The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of

the deck and are not designed to support the weight of
the cutting deck.

Place the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably 
pavement, refer to Figure 5, and proceed as follows:

•

Place the tractor’s deck lift handle in the normally 
desired mowing height setting, then check the 
gauge wheels for contact or excessive clearance 
with the surface below.

•

If the wheels contact the surface adjust as follows: 

a. Raise the deck lift handle to its highest 

setting.

b. Remove the rear gauge wheels by removing 

the lock nuts, shoulder screws, and flat 
washers which secure them to the deck. 

c.

Remove the lock nuts, shoulder screws, and 
bell washers which secure the front gauge 
wheels to the deck.

d. Place the deck lift handle in the desired 

mowing height setting.

e. Insert the shoulder screw and flat washer 

with the rear gauge wheel into the index hole 
that leaves approximately 1/2" between the 
bottom of the wheel and the pavement.

f.

Note the position of the index hole used; then 
install the other rear gauge wheel and the 
front ball wheels into the corresponding index 
hole of the other gauge wheel brackets.
