WARNING! Read and follow all safety rules and instructions in this manual, including the entire Operation section, before attempting to operate

this machine. Failure to comply with all safety rules and instructions may result in personal injury.

NOTE: Your tractor is equipped with either a Throttle/Choke Control Lever which controls the throttle and choke or separate Throttle and Choke controls. Use the controls and features that are applicable to your tractor.

Brake Pedal

The brake pedal is located on the left front side of the tractor above the drive pedal along the running board. The brake pedal can be used for sudden stops or setting the parking brake.

NOTE: The brake pedal must be fully depressed to activate the safety interlock switch when starting the tractor.

Throttle/Choke Control Lever

The throttle/choke control is located on the left side of the tractor’s dash panel. This lever controls the speed of the engine and, when pushed all the way forward, closes the choke for cold starting. When set in a given position, the throttle will maintain a uniform engine speed.

NOTE: When operating the tractor with the cutting deck engaged, be certain that the throttle/choke control is always in the FAST (rabbit) position.

Seat Adjustment Lever

The seat adjustment lever is located below the front/left of the seat. The lever allows for adjustment of the fore to aft position of the operator’s seat. Refer to the Assembly and Set-Up section of this manual for more detailed instructions.

SLTX1054 specifications

The Cub Cadet SLTX1054 is a robust riding lawn mower designed for homeowners seeking power, precision, and ease of use in lawn care. With its strong build and user-friendly features, this mowing machine stands out in the crowded market of garden equipment.

One of the key features of the SLTX1054 is its powerful 26-horsepower Kohler engine. This V-twin engine ensures efficient performance, offering plenty of torque for tough mowing jobs. The engine is designed with durability in mind, allowing for consistent performance over time, even in demanding conditions.

The 54-inch cutting deck is another notable aspect of the SLTX1054. This wide deck allows for expansive coverage, making it ideal for medium to large lawns. The deck is equipped with a combination of high-performance blades that deliver a clean cut, promoting healthier grass growth. With adjustable cutting heights ranging from 1.5 inches to 4 inches, homeowners can customize their mowing experience based on their lawn's specific needs.

The Cub Cadet SLTX1054 also showcases advanced technologies that enhance usability. The hydrostatic transmission offers smooth acceleration and effortless operation. This feature enables the operator to control the mower's speed with a simple push of the pedal, eliminating the need for gear shifting, which can be cumbersome on traditional lawn tractors.

Another highlight is the tight turning radius, which allows users to maneuver easily around flower beds, trees, and other obstacles. This agility reduces the need for additional trimming and provides a cleaner finish overall. The comfortable, adjustable high-back seat ensures an enjoyable driving experience for longer mowing tasks, reducing fatigue for the operator.

The SLTX1054 is also equipped with a dash-mounted deck lift, enabling users to raise and lower the mowing deck conveniently without leaving the driver's seat. This feature simplifies transitions between different cutting heights, making it easier to adapt to changing terrains.

Durability is a hallmark of the Cub Cadet brand, and the SLTX1054 is no exception. With its reinforced steel frame and rugged construction, this mower is built to withstand the rigors of regular lawn maintenance. Its tough, powder-coated finish adds an extra layer of protection against rust and corrosion.

In conclusion, the Cub Cadet SLTX1054 combines power, performance, and ease of use in a single package. With features like a robust engine, expansive cutting deck, hydrostatic transmission, and advanced maneuverability, this riding mower is a fantastic choice for homeowners looking to maintain their lawns efficiently and effectively. Whether tackling large lawns or navigating tight spaces, the SLTX1054 is up to the challenge.
