COLD TEMPERATURE OPERATION
To start and operate your tractor during cold ambient temperatures, use
these procedures:
43
1. BATTERY – Must have a full charge.

this manual.

temperature range.
4. TRANSMISSION HYDRAULIC FLUID – Use Cub Cadet Hydraulic
Transmission fluid.
5. COOLING SYSTEM – Must have ethylene glycol solution for protection.
6. TIRES – If there is liquid in the tires, the tires must have protection
against temperatures below 0 C(32 F). See your Dealer.
7. STOPPING THE ENGINE – Run the engine at idle speed for a short
period of time to permit the engine temperature to decrease before
stopping.
8. CONDENSATION IN FUEL TANK – To prevent condensation in the
fuel tank and water entering the fuel system, fill the fuel tank after each

you remove water from the fuel filter cup each day.
