Be aware of the mower and attachment
discharge direction and do not point it at
anyone. Do not operate the mower without
either the entire grass catcher or the chute
guard in place.
1. GENERAL OPERATION
•
Read, understand, and follow all instructions in
the operator’s manual and on the machine
before starting. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future and regular reference.
•
•
Slow down before turning. Operate the
machine smoothly. Avoid erratic operation and
excessive speed.
•
Only allow responsible individuals familiar with
the instructions to operate the machine. All
operators should evaluate their ability to oper-
ate the tractor safely enough to protect
themselves and others from serious injury.
Know controls and how to stop the machine
quickly.
Never leave a running machine unattended.
Always turn off the blades, place the
transmission in neutral, set the parking brake,
stop the engine and remove key before
dismounting.
•
•
Do not put hands or feet under the cutting deck
or near rotating parts.
•
•
Turn off blades when not mowing.
Stop the engine and wait until the blades come
to a complete stop before (a) removing the
grass catcher or unclogging chute, or (b)
making any repairs, adjusting or removing any
grass or debris.
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys,
wire, etc. which could be picked up and thrown
by the blades. A small object may have been
overlooked and could be accidentally thrown by
the mower in any direction and cause injury to
you or a bystander. To help avoid a thrown
objects injury, keep children, animals,
bystanders and helpers at least 75 feet from
the mower while it is in operation. Always wear
safety glasses with side shields or safety
goggles during operation or while performing
an adjustment or repair, to protect eyes from
foreign objects. Stop the blades when crossing
gravel drives, walks or roads.
•
•
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
Do not operate the machine while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
•
•
Use extra care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck because the unit
could tip over causing serious personal injury.
Never make a cutting height adjustment while
the engine is running if the operator must
dismount to do so.
•
Be sure the area is clear of other people before
mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the
area.
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and
close-fitting slacks and shirts. Do not wear
loose fitting clothes or jewelry. They can be

•
•
Disengage all attachment clutches, thoroughly
depress the brake pedal and shift into neutral
before attempting to start the engine.
•
•
Check overhead clearance carefully before
driving under power lines, wires, bridges or low
hanging tree branches, before entering or
leaving buildings, or in any other situation
where the operator and/or roll bar may be
struck, which could result in serious injury.
Your mower is designed to cut normal
residential grass of a height no more than 10”.
Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall,
dry grass (e.g. pasture) or piles of dry leaves.
Debris may build up on the mower deck or
contact the engine exhaust presenting a
potential fire hazard.
If the tractor becomes stuck, use reverse to
free the tractor to prevent tractor upset.
2. SLOPE OPERATION
•
•
Use only accessories approved for this
machine by Cub Cadet. Read, understand and
follow all instructions provided with the
approved accessory.
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and tip-over accidents which can result in severe
injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy
on it, do not operate this unit on that area or serious
injury could result.
Use the roll bar and seat belt for safe operation.
Overturning the tractor without a roll bar, or with
a roll bar and the seat belt unfastened, can
result in death or injury.
Do not operate on inclines with a slope in excess of
15 degrees (a rise of approximately 2-1/2 feet every
10 feet). The tractor could overturn and cause
serious injury
•
•
Always use the seat belt, except if the roll bar
has been removed or, if applicable, the roll bar
is in the folded position.
DO:
Use the handholds and running boards when
getting on and off the tractor to help prevent
accidental falls. Keep the running boards clear
of mud and debris.
•
•
•
Operate up and down slopes, not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc.
Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide
such obstacles.
•
•
Keep all safety decals clean and readable.
Replace any missing, illegible, or damaged
safety decals.
•
Place the transmission in the low range. when
climbing or descending slopes. Always keep
machine in gear when going down slopes to
take advantage of engine braking action.
Always sit in the tractor seat when starting the
engine or operating controls. Do not start the
engine or operate controls while standing
beside the tractor.
•
•
Follow the manufacturers recommendations for
counterweights to improve stability.
•
•
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly. Contact your Cub
Cadet dealer if safety devices malfunction.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in
speed or direction. Rapid engagement or
braking could cause the front of the machine to
lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could
cause serious injury.
Avoid accidental contact with control pedals
while the engine is running, as this can cause
unexpected movement of the tractor.
Pull only from a drawbar or the lower hitch links
in the down position. Make certain the drawbar
pin is locked in place. Pulling from the rear axle
of the tractor or any point above the axle could
cause the tractor to overturn.
•
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the PTO and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.
•
Maintain the weight balance of the tractor.
Install front end weights to counterbalance
heavy implements attached to the three point
hitch. Do not operate the tractor with a light
front end.
DO NOT:
•
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then,
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
•
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The mower could suddenly turn
over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or
ditch, or if an edge caves in.
•
•
Do not leave equipment in the raised position.
Watch for traffic when operating near or
crossing roadways. If local laws permit road
travel, use the flashing hazard lights and SMV
signs when traveling on public roadways.
•
•
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction
could cause sliding.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting
your foot on the ground.
•
Make certain all tractor lights are illuminated
when operating at night.

•
•
Never attempt to straighten or reweld any part
of the main frame or retaining brackets that
have been damaged. Doing so may weaken
the structure and endanger your safety.
3. CHILDREN
•
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are
often attracted to the machine. Never assume
children will remain where you last saw them.
Never secure any parts on the main frame or
attach the safety frame with anything other than
the special fasteners specified.
•
•
Keep children out of the mowing area and in
watchful care of an adult other than the
operator.
•
•
Never attach ropes, chains, or cables to the
ROPS for pulling purposes.
To avoid back-over accidents, always disen-
gage the cutting blades before shifting in
reverse. The "PTO Reverse Overide Switch"
should not be used when children or others
are around.
Although the ROPS provides you the maximum
protection possible, never take unnecessary risks.
6. SERVICE
•
•
•
•
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter
the area.
Use extreme care in handling gasoline and
other fuels. They are extremely flammable and
the vapors are explosive. Use only an approved

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,
and thoroughly inspect the mower for any
damage. Repair the damage before restarting
and operating the mower.
Use proper containers when draining fluids. Do
not use food or beverage containers that may
mislead someone into drinking from them.
Properly dispose of the containers immediately
following the draining of fluids.
•
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the
blades or wear gloves, and use extra caution
when servicing blades.
DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground,
down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or
other body of water. Observe Environmental
Protection Agency regulations when disposing
of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries,
tires and other harmful waste.
•
•
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and
service as required.
Engine components become hot during
operation and can cause a burn. Allow to cool
down before touching.
•
We do not recommend the use of a pressure
washer or garden hose to clean your unit. They
may cause damage to electrical components;
spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The
use of water will result in shortened life and
reduce serviceability.
•
•
Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Excessive engine
speeds are dangerous.

pulling.
SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
This tractor is equipped with a safety interlock
system for the protection of the operator. If the
interlock system should ever malfunction, do not
operate the tractor. Contact your authorized Cub
Cadet Dealer. The safety interlock system prevents
the engine from cranking or starting unless the brake
pedal is fully depressed, and the PTO is “OFF”.
•
In the event of an accident, have the ROPS
carefully inspected and, if necessary, replaced
by your Cub Cadet dealer. Do not attempt to
repair the ROPS.
FOLDING THE ROPS
•
The safety interlock system will shut off the
engine if the operator leaves the seat before
engaging the parking brake.
The foldable ROPS feature allows the operator to
quickly lower the ROPS to operate in areas where
there is low overhead clearance. However, the
ROPS should be used in the lowered position only
when absolutely necessary. Operate with the
ROPS in the ‘up’ position whenever possible.
•
The safety interlock system will shut off the
engine if the operator leaves the seat with the
PTO “ON”, regardless of whether the brake

USING THE HITCH PLATE
To counterbalance these weight shifts, weight
should be added to the tractor in the form of either
front cast iron weights, a rear weight box, and/or
liquid tire ballast. Only enough weight should be
added to obtain good traction, control, and stability.
Excessive weight will unnecessarily load down the
tractor’s engine and transmission.
Use only the hitch plate (Refer to Figure 23), for
towing pull-behind equipment (carts, trailers, etc.)
or dragging loads.
Raise the lower links of the three point hitch to their
highest position to prevent interference with the
towed equipment.
INSTALL ONLY EQUIPMENT APPROVED FOR
USE ON THE 5000 SERIES TRACTOR.
IMPORTANT: When transporting pull-behind
equipment on public roadways, always use a
safety chain to supplement the connection
between the tractor and towed equipment. The
safety chain must have a strength rating equal
to or greater than the gross weight of the equip-
ment being towed.
Front Weights
To counterbalance three point hitch mounted
equipment, a weight bracket/bumper kit and cast
iron weights are available from your Cub Cadet
dealer. Refer to the Weighting Table for the proper
ballast to be added to the front of the tractor.
Weighting the Rear of the Tractor
TRACTOR WEIGHTING
To counterbalance front mounted equipment, use a
rear weight box, and/or liquid ballast in the rear
tires. Refer to the Weighting Table for the proper
ballast to be added to the rear of the tractor.
When implements are installed on either the front or
rear of the tractor, the normal balance of the tractor
is altered.
•
As a rear mounted implement is raised to the
transport position, the balance point of the
tractor shifts rearward, which may result in a
loss of steering control and tractor stability.
NOTE: Consult with your Cub Cadet dealer about
having liquid ballast added to your tires, and for any
special maintenance after the procedure is
performed. Because special equipment and a
familiarity with the practice is required, only a
qualified tire technician should perform this
procedure.

SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
The service life and reliability of any machine
depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrica-
tion and maintenance is a vital part of that care.
Using the Lubrication and Maintenance Chart as a
guide, monitor the hourmeter on the instrument
panel to ensure the required maintenance proce-
dures are performed. The maintenance schedule
reflects the minimal requirements to maintain the
equipment. More frequent inspections and mainte-
nance is preferable.

Apply pressure until clean grease emerges from the
lubrication point.
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with
lubrication fittings should be oiled regularly with a
good grade of lubricating oil.
Lubricate the tractor thoroughly before taking it to a
remote location for a prolonged period of time.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can
be expensive to replace.
Make certain that all lubrication fittings are installed
and functioning. Wipe away all old grease and dirt
from the lube fittings to prevent foreign materials
from entering as the new grease is applied. Use a

TIRE MAINTENANCE
•
•
•
Make certain the jack used to raise the tractor
has a weight capacity adequate for lifting the
tractor.
Check the tire air pressure after every 50 hours of
operation or weekly. Keep the tires inflated to the
recommended pressures. Improper inflation will
shorten the service life of a tire. See the tire side
wall, or the Tire Inflation chart, for proper inflation
pressures. Observe the following guidelines:
Place the tractor on a firm, level surface and
position jack stands to support the raised
tractor while repairing tires.
DO NOT place any part of your body beneath
the tractor or start the tractor engine while the
tractor is raised off the ground with a jack.
•
Do not inflate a tire above the maximum
pressure shown either on the sidewall of the
tire or the Tire Inflation chart.
•
Do not reinflate a tire that has been run flat or
seriously under inflated. Have a qualified tire
mechanic inspect and service the tire.

If you must service the tires, observe the following
safety precautions to avoid an injury or fatality:
MAINTENANCE OF THE ROLLOVER
PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)
•
•
Make certain the rim is clean and free of rust.
Periodically (at least every six months) visually
inspect the ROPS for damage and loose fasteners.
If damage is noted, contact your Cub Cadet dealer.
Lubricate the flanges of the rim and beads of
the tire with soap solution.
If an accident has occurred which may have
damaged the ROPS, have the ROPS thoroughly
inspected by your Cub Cadet dealer.
WARNING: When seating the beads,
never inflate a tire over 35 PSI. Inflat-
ing a tire with unseated beads beyond
35 PSI could break the bead or rim with
sufficient explosive force to cause a
serious injury.
WARNING: To ensure the structural
integrity of the ROPS to provide opera-
tor protection, do not attempt to
straighten or weld the ROPS. A dam-
aged ROPS should be replaced.
•
Inflate the tire to seat the beads. If the tire
beads have not seated at or before 35 PSI,
allow the tire to deflate. Reposition the tire on
the rim, lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges,
and reinflate until seated - up to a maximum of
35 PSI.
If the ROPS is removed for any reason, make sure
the proper hardware is used to reinstall it, and that
the recommended torque values are applied to the
fasteners.
When replacing or reinstalling the ROPS, apply
Loctite® 242 to the threads of the bolts and torque
the bolts to 60 to 70 ft. lbs.
•
•
After the beads have seated, adjust the infla-
tion pressure to the recommended operating
pressure.
Do not use a damaged rim, or attempt to repair
a rim by brazing, welding, or pounding out.

TRACTOR STORAGE
6. Fully charge the battery, then disconnect the
negative cable at the battery to prevent possi-
ble discharge. Thoroughly clean the battery.
Recharge the battery periodically when in
storage.
If your tractor is not going to be operated for an
extended period of time (thirty days to approxi-
mately six months), the tractor should be prepared
for storage. Store the tractor in a dry and protected
location. If stored outside, cover the tractor (includ-
ing the tires) to protect it from the elements. The
procedures outlined below should be performed
whenever the tractor is placed in storage.
NOTE: Remove the battery if exposed to pro-
longed periods of sub-freezing temperatures.
Store in a cool, dry location where tempera-
tures are above freezing.
WARNING: Never store the tractor with
fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly
ventilated enclosures, where fuel
fumes may reach an open flame, spark
or pilot light as on a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer, etc.
7. Lubricate all lubrication points.
8. Jack up and block the tractor to remove the
weight from the tires if stored for a long period.
If not blocked up, reinflate the tires regularly.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of a
pressure washer or garden hose to clean your
tractor. They may cause damage to electrical
components; spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the
engine. The use of water will result in shortened life
and reduce serviceability.
1. Change the engine oil and filter following the
instructions provided in CHANGING THE
ENGINE OIL AND FILTER in SECTION 5.
2. Drain and flush the cooling system. Refill with a
minimum 50/50 antifreeze and water coolant
solution. Use a higher percentage of antifreeze
if the tractor will be subjected to temperatures
below minus 30° F.
REMOVING THE TRACTOR FROM STORAGE
•
•
Check the engine oil and coolant levels.
Fully charge the battery and inflate the tires to
the recommended pressure.
3. Clean the engine and the entire tractor
thoroughly.

reservoir and refill as needed. Reinstall the
reservoir cap.
IMPORTANT: The oil fill cap and dipstick must
always be installed securely in place when the
engine is running. Severe engine damage could
result from failure to do so.
INSPECTION OF COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
Check the cooling system hoses and fan belt for
any cracks or deterioration after every 100 hours of
operation. Check for loose hose connections.
Replace any damaged hoses and tighten any loose
connections. Replace a worn or damaged fan belt.
CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
Before each use, the engine coolant level in the
overflow reservoir should be checked to ensure it is
within the operating range. Engine coolant absorbs
heat from the engine and transfers the heat to the
air flowing through the radiator. If the coolant level
becomes low, the engine may overheat, which
could cause severe damage to the engine.
CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT
The engine coolant should be drained and replaced
with new coolant solution yearly.
Use a permanent type antifreeze containing corro-
sion and rust inhibitors. Dilute the antifreeze with
water at a 1:1 ratio to mix the coolant solution (50%
antifreeze : 50% water).
The dry capacity of the cooling system is
approximately 5.3 Qts. Dilute the antifreeze with
water at a 1:1 ratio to mix the coolant solution (50%
antifreeze : 50% water).
NOTE: Distilled water is recommended for the cool-
ant solution IF your tap water has a high mineral
content. Minerals cause scaling in the engine and
the radiator coolant passages. System efficiency
will be greatly reduced over time and severe engine
damage may result.
Change the engine coolant as follows:
•
•
Drain the coolant when the engine is cold.
Place the tractor on a level surface and raise the
tractor hood.
•
•
Slide the overflow reservoir upward and off the res-
ervoir bracket to access the radiator drain plug.
