Cub Cadet 7252 Using Jumper Cables to Start the Engine, Stopping the Engine, Driving the Tractor

Page 17

USING JUMPER CABLES TO START THE ENGINE

WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gasses. Make certain the area is well ventilated, wear gloves and eye protection, and avoid sparks or flames near the battery.

If the battery loses power and is unable to adequately crank the engine to start it, the aid of a booster battery may be necessary. Connect the booster battery as follows:

•Connect one end of a jumper cable to the disabled tractor battery’s positive terminal.

•Connect the other end of that cable to the booster battery’s positive terminal.

•Connect one end of the other cable to the booster battery’s negative terminal.

•Connect the other end of that cable to the engine block or frame of the disabled tractor, as far from the battery as possible.

•Start the disabled tractor following the normal starting instructions previously provided; then disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse order of connection.

•Have the tractor’s electrical system checked and repaired as soon as possible to eliminate the need for jump starting.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

•Place the PTO switch in the “OFF” position.

•Place the throttle control lever in the “SLOW” position and allow the engine to idle for about one minute.

•Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove the key from the ignition switch.

NOTE: Always remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent accidental starting or battery discharge if the equipment is left unattended.

DRIVING THE TRACTOR

WARNING: Avoid sudden starts, exces- sive speed and sudden stops.

WARNING: Do not leave the seat of the tractor without disengaging the PTO and engaging the parking brake. If leaving the tractor unattended, turn the ignition key off and remove key.

•Adjust the operator’s seat to the most comfort- able position that allows you to operate all controls and pedals. See seat adjustment in the ADJUSTMENTS section.

WARNING: DO NOT use the seat belt if the ROPS structure has been removed from the tractor.

•Adjust the seat belt to fit snugly but comfortably around your lap, then buckle the seat belt. Refer to ADJUSTMENTS section.

•Shift the transmission Hi/Lo range shift lever on the right fender to the desired speed setting. Refer to USING THE HI/LO RANGE SHIFT LEVER in paragraphs below.

•Use the tractor and/or auxiliary hydraulic lift lever to raise all tractor attachments from the ground if transporting the tractor to a work site.

•Depress the brake pedal to release the parking brake, then slowly release the brake pedal.

•Move the throttle handle to the position where the engine operates best for the load to be handled (normally full throttle).

•Slowly depress either the front or rear of the forward/reverse pedal to move the tractor in the desired direction. Refer to USING THE FORWARD/REVERSE PEDAL in paragraphs below.

DRIVING ON SLOPES

WARNING: 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.

IMPORTANT: Always shift the transmission into the LOW speed range BEFORE beginning the climb or descent of any slope.

Operate the tractor up and down slopes, never across slopes. Do not drive so that the tractor may tip over sideways

Before operating the tractor on a slope, walk the slope to look for possible hazards such as rocks, mounds, stumps, or surface irregularities which could cause the tractor to be upset.

Back the tractor with attachment up the steepest portion of each slope you intend to work. If the tractor cannot negotiate the slope in reverse, the slope is too steep to be worked.

Avoid turns when driving on a slope. If a turn must be made, turn down the slope. Turning up a slope greatly increases the chance of a roll over.
