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.

•Only allow responsible individuals familiar with the instructions to operate the machine. Know controls and how to stop the machine quickly.

•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.

•Always use the seat belt, except if the roll bar has been removed or, if applicable, the roll bar is in the folded position.

•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.

•Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes. Never operate the tractor in bare feet, sandals, or sneakers.

•Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts.

•Do not allow anyone but the operator to ride on the tractor. There is no safe position on the tractor for additional riders.

•Keep all safety decals clean and readable. Replace any missing, illegible, or damaged safety decals.

•Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

•Use only accessories approved for this machine by the manufacturer. Read, understand and follow all instructions provided with the approved accessory.

•Before starting the tractor, engage the parking brake, place the PTO switch in the "OFF" position, place the lift control lever in the down position, and make certain any remote control valve levers are in the neutral position.

•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.

•Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. Contact your Cub Cadet dealer if safety devices malfunction.

•Avoid accidental contact with control pedals while the engine is running, as this can cause unexpected movement of the tractor.

•Never leave a running machine unattended. Always disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, and stop engine before dismounting.

•Never park the tractor on a steep incline.

•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.
