Repeat this adjustment on the skid shoe found on the opposite side of the snow thrower.

Tire Pressure

The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes.

Check tire pressure, by referring to tire sidewalls for recommended tire pressure.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in all tires, the unit may pull to one side or the other.

WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under any circumstance is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Excessive pressure (over 30 psi) when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury.

Traction Control / Auger Control Lock

The traction control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the traction control to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop. See Figure 8.

This same lever also locks the auger control to avoid interruption of the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged along with the traction control, the operator can release the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release the traction control to stop both the augers and wheel drive (auger control must also be released).

IMPORTANT: Always release tractional control before changing speeds.

826 4x4 specifications

The Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is a powerful and versatile snow blower designed for homeowners who face harsh winter conditions. It combines robust engineering with user-friendly features, making snow removal a more manageable task. This machine is equipped with a 26-inch clearing width, allowing it to tackle significant snow accumulations efficiently.

One of the standout features of the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is its 4-wheel drive capability. This ensures that users can navigate snowy terrain with ease, providing enhanced traction and stability on slopes and uneven surfaces. The hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth speed adjustments and effortless maneuvering. This feature is particularly beneficial when operating in tight corners or delicate areas where precision is essential.

The snow blower is powered by a reliable 2-stage engine, which generates ample power for heavy-duty snow clearing. The two-stage system means that after the auger gathers snow, it is thrown out of the discharge chute with significant force, making it ideal for dealing with packed snow and deep drifts. The adjustable chute also allows users to direct the snow far away from the cleared area, preventing it from being blown back onto already cleared surfaces.

In terms of comfort, the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 prioritizes ease of use. It features heated hand grips that keep operators warm during extended periods of cold weather. Moreover, the large, easy-to-operate controls are designed to minimize fatigue, allowing users to focus on the job at hand. The machine’s generous fuel tank capacity ensures longer operation times without frequent refueling, adding to its convenience.

Durability is another key characteristic of the Cub Cadet 826 4x4. Built with high-grade materials, it is designed to withstand the rigors of winter use. The high-impact, snow-resistant construction ensures longevity, making it a smart investment for homeowners looking to manage snow effectively year after year.

In summary, the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is an exceptional snow blower that combines power, technology, and user comfort. Its robust features make it suitable for tackling even the most challenging winter conditions, ensuring users can clear their paths quickly and efficiently. With its combination of durability, performance, and ease of use, the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is a top choice for anyone looking to conquer snow this winter.
