SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Fuses are installed to protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage caused by excessive amper- age. Always use the same capacity fuse for replacement. If the electrical system does not func- tion, check for blown fuses. See Figure 39
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, have the tractor’s electrical system checked by your Cub Cadet dealer.

Instrument Panel Fuses
The instrument panel’s circuitry is protected by the two fuses in the fuse center. If the instrument panel does not function properly, check the fuses.
•Pull the two fuses from the fuse center and check their condition. Replace a blown fuse with the same capacity fuse (3 Amp). Refer to Figure 41.
Relays
The PTO relay and start circuit relay, located in the fuse center, maintain power to each of those circuits. If one of the circuits is not functioning properly, have your dealer electrically check the relay. See Figure 41.

Main Fuse
The main fuse in the tractor wire harness protects the tractor’s entire electrical system. A blown main fuse will prevent battery current from passing though the harness.
To replace the main fuse:
•Raise the tractor hood and remove the right side panel.
•Locate the fuse holder on the front of the bulk- head, just inside the right side of the dash panel. See Figure 42.
