•Slowly pour oil into the fill tube. Fill the crankcase until the oil level reaches the full (F) mark on the dipstick (Refer to Page 19).

•Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick securely into the oil fill tube.

IMPORTANT: The oil fill cap/dipstick must be installed securely onto the tube at all times when the engine

is operating. Severe engine damage could result from a failure to do so.

•Start the tractor engine and allow it to run for thirty seconds, then stop the engine and remove the ignition key.

•Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. Do not overfill the engine crankcase.

•Examine the area around the base of the oil fill tube, the oil filter adapter, and the oil drain valve for leaks before operating the tractor.

IMPORTANT: If leaks are present, have your engine

serviced by your Cub Cadet dealer before operating the tractor.

AirFilter

The engine is equipped with a replaceable, high density paper air cleaner element and an oiled, foam precleaner. Always examine the air cleaner before starting the engine. Check for a buildup of dirt and debris around the air cleaner system. Keep this area clean. Also check for loose or damaged components. Replace all bent or damaged air cleaner components.

NOTE: Starting the tractor with loose or damaged air cleaner components could allow unfiltered air into the engine causing premature wear and failure.

Precleaner (Single Cylinder Engine)

Wash and re-oil the foam precleaner every 25 hours of operation if equipped, (more often under extremely dusty or dirty conditions).

•Loosen the air cleaner cover knobs and remove the cover.

•Remove the precleaner from the upper section of the air cleaner cover.

•Wash the precleaner in warm water with detergent. Rinse the precleaner thoroughly until all traces of detergent are eliminated. Squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Allow the precleaner to air dry.

•Saturate the precleaner with new engine oil. Squeeze out all excess oil.

•Reinstall the precleaner into the upper section of the air cleaner cover.

•Reinstall the cover and tighten the knobs securely. Paper Element(Single Cylinder Engine)

The paper element should be replaced at least once a season, or every 100 hours of operation. Replace more frequently if the tractor is operated under extremely dusty conditions. To replace the paper element, proceed as follows:

•Loosen the air cleaner cover knobs and remove the

cover.

•Carefully remove the air cleaner element.

IMPORTANT: Do not wash the paper element or use pressurized air, as this will damage the element.

Examine the element and discard if dirt and/or damage is present.

NOTE: Handle new elements carefully; do not use ff the sealing surfaces are bent or damaged.

•If any loose dirt or debris fell on the air cleaner base when the element was removed, carefully remove it and wipe the base clean. Be careful that none of it drops into the intake.

•Check the air cleaner base. Make sure it is not damaged. Also check the air cleaner cover for damage or improper fit. Replace all damaged air cleaner components.

•Clean all air cleaner components of any accumulated dirt or foreign material. Prevent any dirt from entering the throat of carburetor.

•Install the replacement air cleaner element with the pleated side outand seat the rubber seal onto the edges of the air cleaner base. See Figure 11

•Reinstall the cover and tighten the knobs securely. Precleaner (Twin Cylinder Engine)

Wash and re-oil the foam precleaner every 25 hours of operation if equipped, (more often under extremely dusty or dirty conditions).

•Pivot the air cleaner cover upward and unhook the wire latch which secures the element in place.

•Carefully remove the precleaner from around the air cleaner element.

•Wash the precleaner in warm water with detergent. Rinse the precleaner thoroughly until all traces of detergent are eliminated. Squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Allow the precleaner to air dry.

•Saturate the precleaner with new engine oil. Squeeze out all excess oil.

•Reinstall the precleaner over the paper element.

•Lower the wire latch to secure the element in place and pivot the air cleaner cover downward.
