Record the actual hours of trac- tor operation to ensure all maintenance procedures are completed according to the schedule in this manual.

Oil Pressure Indicator

WARNING: Operating the tractor with low oil level or pressure could result in severe engine damage.

The oil pressure indicator is part of the indicator light pod on the dash panel. This indicator will illuminate when the engine oil pressure is low. If this indicator illuminates, stop the tractor

immediately and check the engine oil level. If the oil level is within the operating range, and the light remains on, contact your Cub Cadet dealer.
