FUELING INSTRUCTIONS

FUEL MIXTURE :

When using Cub Cadet Commercial 50:1 2-cycle brand oil, or a quality oil designed for 2-cycle air- cooled engines, oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or 50:1.

CAUTION

Never use a mixing ratio greater than 50:1 regardless of the oil package mixing instructions. Ratios greater than 50:1,(for example, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1), reduce the amount of lubrication to the internal moving parts of the engine and can cause damage.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS :

Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container approved for gasoline. Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for the trimmer. Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the container with half therequired amount of gasoline. Pour the correct amount of oil into the container then add the remaining amount of gasoline. Close the container lightly and shake it momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the trimmer.

When refilling the trimmer fuel tank, clean around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and debris for entering the tank during cap removal. Always shake the premix fuel container momentarily before filling the fuel tank.

Always use a spoul or funnel when fueling to reduce fuel spillage. Only fill the tank to within 1/4- 1/2 inch from the top of the tank. Avoid filling to the top of the tank filler neck.

NOTE:

1.Never mix gasoline and oil directly in the trimmer fuel tank.

2.Check for fuel leakage around the tank cap and the fuel tank before the operation.

CAUTION

1.Do not use National Marine Manufacturer’s Association (NMMA) or BIA certified oils. This type of 2-cycle engine oil does not have the proper additives for air-cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine damage.

2.Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of oil does not have the proper additives for air- cooled, 2-cycle engines and can cause engine damage.

ST35, ST23, ST26 specifications

The Cub Cadet ST26, ST23, and ST35 snow blowers are excellent machines designed for efficient snow removal. Built with durability in mind, these models come equipped with robust features and advanced technologies aimed at enhancing performance and ease of use during winter months.

One of the main features of the Cub Cadet ST series is its powerful engines. The ST26 is powered by a 243cc engine, while the ST23 has a slightly smaller engine but still delivers commendable power for residential use. The ST35, on the other hand, boasts a more robust engine that provides superior snow removal capability, ideal for larger driveways or more substantial snowfall. The engines ensure reliable starts, even in cold temperatures, which is essential during winter.

These snow blowers also feature an innovative electric start option, allowing users to start the machine with just the push of a button. This convenience is particularly beneficial on frigid mornings when a traditional pull-start may be less appealing.

Another highlight of the ST series is the Cub Cadet's patented Intuitive Control System. This system allows users to easily adjust the speed, direction, and chute angles with minimal effort. With multiple forward and reverse speeds, users can navigate through varying snow conditions and terrain seamlessly.

The composite poly chute is another great feature, designed to provide enhanced throwing distance and prevent clogging. This innovative chute design helps direct snow exactly where users want it, saving time and effort when clearing driveways and walkways.

Additionally, the ST series snow blowers come with oversized tires that offer enhanced traction, allowing for better stability and maneuverability on slippery surfaces. The machines are also equipped with heated hand grips, ensuring comfort in extremely cold conditions.

Built with a strong, durable frame, these snow blowers are constructed to withstand the rigors of winter use. The reinforced housing provides additional protection against wear and tear, making the ST series reliable over years of heavy use.

In summary, the Cub Cadet ST26, ST23, and ST35 snow blowers present an array of advanced features and technologies. With powerful engines, intuitive controls, and robust construction, they stand out as efficient solutions for snow removal. Whether tackling light snowfalls or heavy winter storms, these machines offer performance and reliability, making them an excellent choice for homeowners seeking to conquer winter weather challenges.
