Deck Lift Lever

Found on your tractor’s right fender, the deck lift lever is used to change the height of the cutting deck. To use, move the lever to the left, then place in the notch best suited for your application.

Ignition Switch Module

Warning! Never leave a running machine unattended.

Always disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.

To start the engine, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn

clockwise to the START position. Release the key into the NORMAL MOWING MODE position once the engine has fired.

To stop the engine, turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the STOP position.

Caution: Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both Safety Interlock Switches and Starting The Engine in the Operation section of this manual for detailed instructions regarding the Ignition Switch Module and operating the tractor in REVERSE CAUTION MODE.

Drive Pedal

The drive pedal is located on the right side of the tractor, along the running board. Press the drive pedal forward to cause the tractor to travel forward. Ground speed is also controlled with the drive pedal. The further forward the pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its original position when it’s not pressed.

Reverse Pedal

The reverse pedal is located on the right side of the tractor along the running board. Ground speed is also controlled with the reverse pedal. The further downward the pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its original position when it’s not pressed.

Cargo Net

The cargo net is located on the lower half of the dash and can be used for storage.

Systems Indicator Monitor/Hour Meter LCD

When the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position but not into the START position, the system’s indicator monitor displays the battery’s output, in volts, on its LCD for approximately five seconds, after which it displays an hour glass and the hours

of tractor operation. Once the tractor is started, the monitor continually displays an hour glass and the hours of tractor operation on its LCD.

NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded any time the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position, regardless of whether the engine is started.

The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The LCD will alternately flash the recorded hours, “CHG” and “OIL” for five minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded operation elapse. The maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102, 150-152, etc.). The LCD will also flash as described above for five minutes every time the tractor’s engine has been started during this maintenance interval. Before the interval expires, change the engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance & Adjustments section of this Operator’s Manual.

Brake

If the Brake light illuminates when attempting to start the tractor’s engine, depress the brake pedal.

PTO (Blade Engage)

If the PTO light illuminates when attempting to start the tractor’s engine, move PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position.

Oil (If Engine So Equipped)

It is normal for the Oil light to illuminate while the engine is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminates during operation, while the engine is running, stop the tractor immediately and check the engine oil level as instructed in this Owner’s Manual.

Battery

It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the engine is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminates during operation, while the engine is running, the battery is in need of a charge or the engine’s charging system is not generating sufficient amperage. Charge the battery as instructed in the Service section of this manual or have the charging system checked by your Cub Cadet dealer.

SLTX1054 specifications

The Cub Cadet SLTX1054 is a robust riding lawn mower designed for homeowners seeking power, precision, and ease of use in lawn care. With its strong build and user-friendly features, this mowing machine stands out in the crowded market of garden equipment.

One of the key features of the SLTX1054 is its powerful 26-horsepower Kohler engine. This V-twin engine ensures efficient performance, offering plenty of torque for tough mowing jobs. The engine is designed with durability in mind, allowing for consistent performance over time, even in demanding conditions.

The 54-inch cutting deck is another notable aspect of the SLTX1054. This wide deck allows for expansive coverage, making it ideal for medium to large lawns. The deck is equipped with a combination of high-performance blades that deliver a clean cut, promoting healthier grass growth. With adjustable cutting heights ranging from 1.5 inches to 4 inches, homeowners can customize their mowing experience based on their lawn's specific needs.

The Cub Cadet SLTX1054 also showcases advanced technologies that enhance usability. The hydrostatic transmission offers smooth acceleration and effortless operation. This feature enables the operator to control the mower's speed with a simple push of the pedal, eliminating the need for gear shifting, which can be cumbersome on traditional lawn tractors.

Another highlight is the tight turning radius, which allows users to maneuver easily around flower beds, trees, and other obstacles. This agility reduces the need for additional trimming and provides a cleaner finish overall. The comfortable, adjustable high-back seat ensures an enjoyable driving experience for longer mowing tasks, reducing fatigue for the operator.

The SLTX1054 is also equipped with a dash-mounted deck lift, enabling users to raise and lower the mowing deck conveniently without leaving the driver's seat. This feature simplifies transitions between different cutting heights, making it easier to adapt to changing terrains.

Durability is a hallmark of the Cub Cadet brand, and the SLTX1054 is no exception. With its reinforced steel frame and rugged construction, this mower is built to withstand the rigors of regular lawn maintenance. Its tough, powder-coated finish adds an extra layer of protection against rust and corrosion.

In conclusion, the Cub Cadet SLTX1054 combines power, performance, and ease of use in a single package. With features like a robust engine, expansive cutting deck, hydrostatic transmission, and advanced maneuverability, this riding mower is a fantastic choice for homeowners looking to maintain their lawns efficiently and effectively. Whether tackling large lawns or navigating tight spaces, the SLTX1054 is up to the challenge.
