dures described in the text.
• If the person using this manual is uncomfortable with any procedures they encounter, they should seek
the help of a qualified technician or Cub Cadet Technical Support.

Fasteners

• Most of the fasteners used on these mowers are sized in fractional inches. The engine and transmissions
are metric. For this reason, wrench sizes are frequently identified in the text, and measurements are given
in U.S. and metric scales.
• If a fastener has a locking feature that has worn, replace the fastener or apply a small amount of releas-
able thread locking compound such as Loctite® 242 (blue).
• Some fasteners like cotter pins are single-use items that are not to be reused. Other fasteners such as
lock washers, retaining rings, and internal cotter pins (hairpin clips) may be reused if they do not show
signs of wear or damage. This manual leaves that decision to the judgement of the technician.
