Adjustments

Seat Adjustment
Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section of this manual for seat
adjustment instructions.
WARNING!
sure the seat is engaged in the seat-stop. Engage the
parking brake. Stand behind the machine and pull
back on seat until it clicks into place.
Parking Brake Adjustment
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake
pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor's rear wheels can
roll with the parking brake applied (and the hydrostatic relief
valve open), the brake is in need of adjustment. See your Cub
Cadet dealer to have the brake adjusted.
Wheel Alignment
The front wheels should toe-in approximately 1⁄8 to 1⁄4", as
measured across dimensions A and B. See Figure 6-6.

Lift Handle Adjustment (If so equipped)
The effort required to operate the implement lift handle can be
varied by loosening or tightening the lift assist spring adjusting
bolt on the left side of the tractor. See Figure 6-7.
Increase effort
Decrease effort
Figure 6-7
NOTE : The deck and/or attachment should be installed
before making adjustments to this spring.
Place the deck/attachment into the lowest position for making
adjustments. This ensures that the spring is extended the furthest.
The bolt can be accessed from the rear of the tractor, inside the left
rear wheel. Turning adjusting bolt clockwise will decrease the manual
effort required for lifting attachments; turning counterclockwise will
increase the effort needed to lift the attachment.
NOTE : Do not overtighten. Doing so can cause the handle
to come out of the brackets on the deck lift.
Steering/Toe-in Adjustment
To adjust front wheel toe-in, proceed as follows:
1. Check the steering gear to ensure it is in the centered
position. The hole in the steering segment gear will align
with the hole in the steering housing (See Figure 6-6).
NOTE : A 5⁄16" pin can be used in the alignment holes to
assure the steering segment is centered.
2. Mark the front horizontal diameter of both front wheels at
the same spot on each wheel-preferably the inner bead
flange of the wheel rims. Mark the rear horizontal diameter
of both front wheels in the same manner.
3. Measure the distance between the bottom edges of the
tractor frame channels and the marks on the front of each
wheel (See measurement D in Figure 6-6). These two
measurements should be equal.
4. Measure the distance between the frame and the marks on
the rear of each front wheel (See measurement C in Figure
6-6). Measurement D should be approximately 1⁄16- to 1⁄8-
inch less than measurement C on each side of the tractor.
