Do not run the engine in a closed area. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly poison.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain condition.

Stop engine and allow the engine to cool before refueling.

Do not smoke. Make sure area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks including the pilot light of any appliance while refueling, servicing fuel system, draining gasoline and/or adjusting carburetor.

Do not fill the tank so the fuel level rises into the filler neck. If the tank is overfilled, heat may cause the fuel to expand and overflow through the vents in the tank cap.

Wipe off any spilled gasoline immediately.

To prevent fire hazard:

Keep the engine at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) away from buildings, obstructions and other burnable objects.

Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.

Do not expose combustible materials to the engine exhaust.

Do not use the engine on any forest covered, bush covered or grass covered unimproved land unless spark arrester is installed on the muffler.

To avoid getting an electric shock, do not touch spark plug, plug cap or spark plug lead during engine running.

To avoid a serious burn, do not touch a hot engine or muffler. The engine becomes hot during operation. Before you service or remove parts, stop engine and allow the engine to cool.

Do not place hands or feet near moving or rotating parts.

Do not run engine at excessive speeds. This may result in injury.

Always remove the spark plug lead from spark plug when servicing the engine to prevent accidental starting.

Fuel Information

THIS ENGINE IS CERTIFIED TO OPERATE ON UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE ONLY.

A minimum of 87 octane of the antiknock index is recommended. The antiknock index is posted on service station pumps in the U.S.A.

To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated an exhaust emission control system in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources

Board. Also, depending on when your engine was produced, it may have an assigned emissions durability period. * See below for the engine emissions durability period that may apply to your engine.

Exhaust Emission Control System

The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine consists of a fuel system and an ignition system having optimum ignition timing characteristics. The fuel system has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and optimum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system

A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is also used to eliminate blow-by gasses. The blow-by

E977C, 977A specifications

The Cub Cadet 977A and E977C are powerful lawn care machines designed for both residential and commercial use. These models stand out for their robust construction, reliability, and advanced features, making them popular choices among homeowners and professional landscapers alike.

One of the main features of the Cub Cadet 977A is its powerful engine. Equipped with a high-performance, overhead valve (OHV) engine, it ensures efficient power output and better fuel economy. This engine configuration allows for smoother operations and greater durability, even in tough mowing conditions. Similarly, the E977C model offers a strong engine option, optimized for both performance and lower emissions, promoting environmental responsibility.

Both models feature a cutting deck with a generous width that enhances productivity. The Cub Cadet 977A comes with a 54-inch cutting deck, while the E977C is fitted with a versatile 60-inch deck. The larger cutting area allows users to cover more ground in less time, making them ideal for larger lawns and landscapes. Additionally, they offer multiple cutting height adjustments, so users can customize their mowing height according to their specific lawn care needs.

The innovative Turf Saver tires provide excellent traction and minimize lawn damage during operation. The tread design helps in maneuverability, making it easier to navigate around obstacles and tight spaces. Moreover, the ergonomic controls and comfortable seating enhance the driver’s experience, allowing for long periods of mowing without discomfort.

Both the 977A and E977C incorporate advanced technologies such as hydrostatic transmission for seamless speed control. This feature ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration, allowing the operator to focus on precision cutting rather than shifting gears. The models also include a rugged chassis design, which provides stability when tackling uneven terrains.

For ease of maintenance, both models are equipped with easy-access service points, simplifying routine checks and oil changes. Furthermore, they are compatible with various attachments and accessories, like baggers and mulch kits, making them versatile for different lawn care tasks.

In summary, the Cub Cadet 977A and E977C are distinguished by their powerful engines, wide cutting decks, advanced transmission systems, and ergonomic designs. These characteristics make them effective, efficient, and easy to use, positioning them as excellent investments for anyone looking to maintain a pristine lawn or landscape.
