4.26.Subtract the 1,100 PSI flow reading from the 300 PSI flow reading. The resulting figure is called “flow droop”.
4.27.Interpretation: flow droop greater than 1.5 GPM indicates a pump that is not performing as well as it should.
NOTE: A blocked filter may account for some loss of performance.
4.28.Within the two year Cub Cadet Commercial war- ranty period, replace the pump if it does not per- form as specified and all other factors have been eliminated.
4.29.If a hydro pump requires repair, refer to Hydro- Gear publication
4.30.If the hydro pump and all other factors are O.K., replace the hydro motor.
NOTE: The hydro motor is not serviceable. Replace it as a unit if it fails.
5.REPLACING THE HYDRO PUMP
5.1.If the cutting deck is currently on the unit, remove it.
5.2.Safely lift and support the rear of the tank.
5.3.Remove the rear wheels using a 3/4” socket.
5.4.Tilt the seat up, and disconnect the negative bat- tery cable.
5.5.Remove the screen that covers the opening over the cooling fans on the hydro pump to be removed using a 3/8” wrench. See Figure 5.5.
