Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located on the right side
of the tractor, along the running board. Press
the drive pedal forward to cause the tractor
to travel forward. Ground speed is also
controlled with the drive pedal. The further
forward the pedal is pivoted, the faster the
tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its
original position when it’s not pressed.
Reverse Pedal
The reverse pedal is located on the right
side of the tractor along the running board.
Ground speed is also controlled with the
reverse pedal. The further downward the
pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will
travel. The pedal will return to its original
position when it’s not pressed.
Cargo Net
The cargo net is located on the lower half of the dash and can be
used for storage.
Systems Indicator Monitor/Hour Meter LCD
When the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position but not
into the START position, the system’s indicator monitor displays
the battery’s output, in volts, on its LCD for approximately five
seconds, after which it displays an hour glass and the hours
of tractor operation. Once the tractor is started, the monitor
continually displays an hour glass and the hours of tractor
operation on its LCD.
NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded any time the
ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position, regardless of
whether the engine is started.
The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of
maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The LCD will
alternately flash the recorded hours, “CHG” and “OIL” for five
minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded operation elapse. The
maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102,
150-152, etc.). The LCD will also flash as described above for five
minutes every time the tractor’s engine has been started during
this maintenance interval. Before the interval expires, change
the engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance section of this
Operator’s Manual.
Brake
If the Brake light illuminates when attempting to start the
tractor’s engine, depress the brake pedal.
PTO (Blade Engage)
If the PTO light illuminates when attempting to start the tractor’s
engine, move PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position.
Oil (If Engine So Equipped)
It is normal for the Oil light to illuminate while the engine is
cranking during start-up, but if it illuminates during operation,
while the engine is running, stop the tractor immediately and
check the engine oil level as instructed in this Owner’s Manual.
Battery
It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the engine is
cranking during start-up, but if it illuminates during operation,
while the engine is running, the battery is in need of a charge
or the engine’s charging system is not generating sufficient
amperage. Charge the battery as instructed in the Service
section of this manual or have the charging system checked by
your Cub Cadet dealer.
