MAINTENANCE

6.Adjusting the idle speed:

It is usually necessary to change the setting of the idle speed adjusting screw (Ref. I) after every correction to the low speed adjusting screw (Ref. L).

7.Proper idling speed:

ST23,26............. 2,800-3,000 rpm ST35.................. 2,500-2,700 rpm

8.The engine stops while idling:

Turn the idle speed adjusting screw (Ref. I) clockwise until the engine runs smoothly, but the cutting tool must not rotate.

9.The cutting tool rotates when the engine is idling:

Turn the idle speed adjusting screw (Ref. I) counterclockwise until the cutting tool stops rotating then return the screw about another half turn from that position.

10.Erratic idling behavior, poor acceleration: The idle setting is too lean. Turn the low speed adjusting screw (Ref. L) counterclockwise until the engine runs and accelerates smoothly.

11.Adjusting high speed:

Adjust the low adjustment screw (Ref. L) for the smooth engine idling. Then increase the engine speed and adjust the high speed adjustment screw (Ref. H) for stable engine rotation. The engine acceleration should be smooth with proper adjustment.

(High Engine Speed..........10,000-11,000 rpm)

ST35, ST23, ST26 specifications

The Cub Cadet ST26, ST23, and ST35 snow blowers are excellent machines designed for efficient snow removal. Built with durability in mind, these models come equipped with robust features and advanced technologies aimed at enhancing performance and ease of use during winter months.

One of the main features of the Cub Cadet ST series is its powerful engines. The ST26 is powered by a 243cc engine, while the ST23 has a slightly smaller engine but still delivers commendable power for residential use. The ST35, on the other hand, boasts a more robust engine that provides superior snow removal capability, ideal for larger driveways or more substantial snowfall. The engines ensure reliable starts, even in cold temperatures, which is essential during winter.

These snow blowers also feature an innovative electric start option, allowing users to start the machine with just the push of a button. This convenience is particularly beneficial on frigid mornings when a traditional pull-start may be less appealing.

Another highlight of the ST series is the Cub Cadet's patented Intuitive Control System. This system allows users to easily adjust the speed, direction, and chute angles with minimal effort. With multiple forward and reverse speeds, users can navigate through varying snow conditions and terrain seamlessly.

The composite poly chute is another great feature, designed to provide enhanced throwing distance and prevent clogging. This innovative chute design helps direct snow exactly where users want it, saving time and effort when clearing driveways and walkways.

Additionally, the ST series snow blowers come with oversized tires that offer enhanced traction, allowing for better stability and maneuverability on slippery surfaces. The machines are also equipped with heated hand grips, ensuring comfort in extremely cold conditions.

Built with a strong, durable frame, these snow blowers are constructed to withstand the rigors of winter use. The reinforced housing provides additional protection against wear and tear, making the ST series reliable over years of heavy use.

In summary, the Cub Cadet ST26, ST23, and ST35 snow blowers present an array of advanced features and technologies. With powerful engines, intuitive controls, and robust construction, they stand out as efficient solutions for snow removal. Whether tackling light snowfalls or heavy winter storms, these machines offer performance and reliability, making them an excellent choice for homeowners seeking to conquer winter weather challenges.
