Fuse; Changing Transmission Drive Belt; Changing The Deck Belt - Cub Cadet LTX 1050 Operator's Manual

Fuse

WARNING!
Before servicing, repairing, or
inspecting, always disengage PTO, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
A 20 Amp fuse is installed in your tractor's wiring harness to
protect the tractor's electrical system from damage caused by
excessive amperage.
If the electrical system does not function, or your tractor's engine
will not crank, first check to be certain that the fuse has not
blown. It is located under the hood, mounted behind the top of
the dash panel on the support bar.
CAUTION:
Always use a replacement fuse with the
same amperage capacity as the blown fuse.
Tires
WARNING!
Never exceed the maximum inflation
pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.
The recommended operating tire pressure is approximately 10
psi for the rear tires and 14 psi for the front tires. Refer to the
tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer's recommended or
maximum psi. Do not overinflate.
Uneven tire pressure could cause the cutting deck to mow
unevenly.
Changing the Transmission Drive Belt
Several components must be removed and special tools used in
order to change the tractor's transmission drive belt. See your
Cub Cadet dealer to have the transmission drive belt replaced.
