Hazard Light Flasher Relay

The flasher relay controls the on/off flashing of the hazard lights. If the hazard lights do not function properly, the flasher relay is probably faulty.

Replace the relay as follows:

Remove the dash panel insert by removing the two screws. Refer to Figure 40.

Pull the wire harness from the dash opening. Cut and remove the electrical tape holding the flasher relay to the harness. See Figure 43

After first noting the position of the two harness leads, disconnect the leads and replace the faulty relay with a new relay.

Secure the relay to the wire harness with electrical tape.

Position the wire harness in the dash panel and reinstall the dash panel insert.

CHECKING TRANSMISSION/HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL LEVEL

Check the hydro transmission/hydraulic system oil level after every 50 hours of operation. Check the oil level only while the engine is stopped and the tractor is standing on a level surface.

The oil fill plug/dipstick is located at the rear of the tractor, above the rear PTO shield. See Figure 44.

Clean the area around the oil fill plug/dipstick to prevent debris from entering the transmission housing. See Figure 44.

Turn the oil fill plug/dipstick counterclockwise to unscrew from the transmission housing.

Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it clean, then reinsert and screw in all the way. Unscrew and withdraw again to read the oil level. Always keep the oil level between the add and full marks on the dipstick (See Figure 44).

If the oil level is low, add Cub Cadet hydraulic oil. Loosely position a funnel in the fill hole so that there is enough clearance around the fun- nel to allow the transmission to vent while the oil is poured into the transmission. Fill ONLY to the full mark, never overfill the transmission.

NOTE: Always use Cub Cadet hydraulic oil to ensure correct formulation. Substitute oils could affect performance and may cause damage to the transmission.

Reinsert the oil fill plug/dipstick into the transmission housing and turn clockwise until tight.
