Cleaning
The body panels can scratch easily. Do not use
car wax on the body panels. The use of standard
car wash soap is acceptable for cleaning the body
panels. Avoid any abrasive cleaner or rubbing
compounds for these will damage the body panels.
Dry thoroughly to avoid water spots.
WARNING
DO NOT use a pressure washer. Damage may occur if direct
hose spray comes in contact with intake openings, or any other
electrical components, i.e. at instrument cluster or under dash.
Tire Pressure
WARNING
Excessive pressure (above 14 psi) may cause the tire/rim assembly
to burst with sufficient force to cause severe injury or death.
The recommended operating tire pressure is 14 psi
for all tires. Overinflating above recommended tire
pressure can reduce the life of the tire. Check tire
pressures before each use.

belt assembly if any damage is found. If damage is
noted, contact your Cub Cadet dealer.
