Maintenance	Changing the Engine Oil

Warning! Before performing any maintenance or repairs, disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.

Engine

Refer to the Kohler Owner’s Manual for all engine maintenance procedures and instructions.

NOTE: Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control devices and systems which are being done at owner’s expense may be performed by any engine repair establishment or individual. Warranty repairs must be performed by a Cub Cadet Dealer.

Warning! If the engine has been recently run, the engine, muffler and surrounding metal surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise caution to avoid burns.

NOTE: The oil filter should be changed at every oil change interval. To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:

1.Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil in the crankcase to warm up. Warm oil will flow more freely and carry away more of the engine sediment which may have settled at the bottom of the crankcase. Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.

2.Open the tractor’s hood and locate the oil drain port on the right side of the engine.

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.
