Low Gas Window LCD The low gas window is located at the rear of the tractor. If the gas level is visible in this window, the tank should be re-filled. FILL TANK IF GAS LEVEL IS SHOWN IN WINDOW Transmission Bypass Rod The transmission bypass rod is located at the rear of the tractor on the lower right section of the frame. When engaged, the rod opens a bypass within the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed short distances by hand. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for instructions on using the bypass feature. NOTE: If the tractor will not move or does not move freely when pushing check if the bypass lever is fully open. NOTE: The transmission will NOT engage when the hydrostatic bypass rod is pulled out. Return the rod to its normal position prior to operating the tractor. If the tractor will not move when pushing on the forward/reverse pedals, or moves slowly, check to see of the bypass valve is on. CAUTION: Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the rear wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to the transmissions. Hydrostatic Transmission Oil Plug/Dipstick The hydrostatic transmission oil plug/dipstick is located on the back of the tractor frame and is used to check the level of the hydrostatic transmission oil. The oil fill port is where hydrostatic transmission oil can be added. When the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position but not into the START position, the systems indicator monitor displays the battery's output, in volts, on its LCD for approximately five seconds, after which it displays an hour glass and the hours of tractor operation. Once the tractor is started, the monitor continually displays an hour glass and the hours of tractor operation on its LCD. NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded any time the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position, regardless of whether the engine is started. The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The LCD will alternately flash the recorded hours, "CHG" and "OIL" for five minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded operation elapse. The maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102, 150-152, etc.). The LCD will also flash as described above for five minutes every time the tractor's engine has been started during this maintenance interval. Before the interval expires, change the engine oil as instructed in the Engine Operator's Manual. Brake If the Brake light illuminates when attempting to start the tractor's engine, depress the brake pedal. PTO (Blade Engage) Systems Indicator Monitor/Hour Meter If the PTO light illuminates when attempting to start the tractor's engine, move PTO lever into the disengaged (OFF) position. Oil BAT T. PTO / BLADE OIL PARK BRAKE It is normal for the Oil light to illuminate while the engine is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate's during operation, while the engine is running, stop the tractor immediately and check the engine oil level as instructed in this Owner's Manual. Battery It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the engine is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate's during operation, while the engine is running, the battery is in need of a charge or the engine's charging system is not generating sufficient amperage. Charge the battery as instructed in the Service section of this manual or have the charging system checked by your Cub Cadet dealer. Section 4 - Controls & Features 13
