STARTING THE ENGINE
A WARNING
Do not operate tractor if the interlock system
is malfunctioning because it is a safety
device designed for protection.
■ ^NOTE
This unit is equipped with a safety interlock
system for your protection. The purpose of
the safety interlock system is to prevent the
engine from cranking or starting unless the
single brake pedal is depressed, the PTO
switch is in the "OFF" position and the
operator is seated. If the operator leaves
the seat when the PTO is on, the PTO will
automatically disengage.
■ ^NOTE
This unit can be equipped with an optional
disconnect clutch.
■ I^NOTE
This disconnect clutch is mounted on the
engine to transmission drive shaft. The pur¬
pose of the disconnect clutch is to allow the
engine to start before the transmission is
engaged. This will greatly reduce the load
on the engine when it is started, thus making
it easier to start the engine. (See Figure 18.)
It is available through your authorized Cub
Cadet dealer.
■ ^NOTE
The disconnect clutch should be installed by
your authorized Cub Cadet dealer.

position and release it as soon as the engine

engine does not start within this time, turn the key
"OFF" and wait a few minutes, then try again.

brake pedal and gradually push the choke control
