13.Always keep your tractor clean. Dust, grease or

accidental falls. Keep the running boards clear of
mud and debris.

3. Safe Practices for Operating Your Tractor

1. Starting Your Tractor
1. Remain seated in the operator's station when
starting the engine, or actuating the levers or
controls. Do not start the engine or operate
controls while standing beside the tractor.
2. Before starting the engine, make sure that the
forward and reverse drive pedal are in the neutral
positions, the parking brake is engaged, and the
Power Take Off (PTO) is disengaged.
3. Always keep the seat belt fastened around your
waist whenever the tractor has the Roll-Over
Protective Structure (ROPS).
4. Start the engine of your tractor only by using the
starter key switch. Do not attempt to start the
engine by short-circuiting across the starter
solenoid terminals with a jumper wire, or by
bypassing the safety start switch. This defeats the
safety interlock circuit and the tractor may begin
to move and/or the Power Take Off (PTO) shafts
may begin to rotate, possibly leading to personal
injury or property damage.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
15.Only use the implements that satisfy the
requirements in this manual or are approved by
your Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer. (See "4.

IMPLEMENT CAPACITIES")

16.When using only front or rear mounted
implements, install an appropriate weight(s) or
counter balance to the front or rear of your tractor
to prevent upsetting of the tractor. If you choose
to use the front loader, mount an implement or
ballast to the 3-point hitch in order to get the
tractor to stabilize. Observe the instructions about
safety in the manual for the implement to be used.
17.Do not attempt to modify your tractor. Modification
can deteriorate the performance and/or safety of
your tractor, possibly leading to personal injury or
property damage.
5. Do not run or idle the engine in a confined area
that is poorly ventilated or not ventilated at all.

colorless, odorless and can cause death.
6. Before operation, check that all the safety
features are functioning correctly. Never tamper
with safety devices. Check their proper operation
regularly. Contact your Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer
if safety devices malfunction.

the engine is running, as this can cause
unexpected movement of the tractor.
8. Never leave a running machine unattended.
9. Do not attach or use towed equipment by a
drawbar or a drawing device/attachment. Usage
