INSTRUMENT PANEL BULB REPLACEMENT
Referring to the instrument panel information pro- vided in the CONTROL AND FEATURES section of this manual, regularly check to ensure that the instrument panel light bulbs are functioning.
To change a burned out instrument panel bulb:
•Raise the tractor hood to view the back side of the instrument panel.
•Determine the position of the burned out bulb and pull the seal plug from the back of the instrument panel. See Figure 36.

•Using a small flat bladed screw driver in the slot of the bulb socket, turn the socket approxi- mately a quarter turn counterclockwise to un- lock from the instrument panel. Carefully with- draw from the panel. Note the position of the bulb socket locking tabs.
•Insert the new bulb/socket assembly into the instrument panel in the same manner, making certain the locking tabs of the socket engage the slots of the instrument panel.
•Turn the socket approximately a quarter turn clockwise to lock in place and reinsert the seal plug into the panel opening.
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.

Instrument Panel Fuses
The instrument panel’s circuitry is protected by the two fuses in the fuse center. If the instrument panel does not function properly, check the fuses.
•Pull the two fuses from the fuse center and check their condition. Replace a blown fuse with the same capacity fuse (3 Amp). Refer to Figure 39.
Relays
The PTO relay and dash power relay, located in the fuse center, maintain power to each of those circuits. If one of the circuits is not functioning properly, have your dealer electrically check the relay. See Figure 39.
