HAZARD BULB REPLACEMENT

Flashing hazard lights are installed on each side of the ROPS. Replace the bulbs as follows:

Grasp the outer half of the light housing and both the front and rear lenses. Accessing the screws from the notches at the top and bottom of the outer housing, remove the two screws fastening the outer and inner housings together. See Figure 36.

Remove the outer housing and lenses.

Push in on the bulb and turn counterclockwise to remove the bulb from the light socket.

Align the new bulb with the socket slot, push the bulb into the socket, and turn clockwise to lock it in the socket.

While making certain the lenses engage the front and rear grooves of the inner housing, install the lenses and outer housing. Secure with the two screws.

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 37

If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, have the tractor’s electrical system checked by your Cub Cadet dealer.
