Setting the Deck Wheels
Move the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably
pavement, and proceed as follows
1.
Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing
the deck lift pedal in the normally desired mowing height
setting.
2.
Check the deck wheels for contact or excessive clearance
with the surface below. The deck wheels should have
between ¼-½" clearance above the ground.
3.
If the deck wheels have excessive clearance or contact with
the surface, adjust as follows:
a.
Raise the deck lift pedal to its highest setting.
b.
Remove the front and rear deck wheels by removing
the lock nuts and shoulder bolts which secure them
to the deck. See Fig. 6-7.

pavement.

Parking Brake Adjustment
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake
lever is completely engaged, or if the tractor's rear wheels can
roll with the parking brake applied (and the hydrostatic relief
valve open), the brake is in need of adjustment. See your Cub
Cadet dealer to have the brake properly adjusted.
Adjusting the Seat
To adjust the position of the seat, push the seat adjustment lever
to the left. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the desired
position; then release the adjustment lever. Make sure seat is
locked into position before operating the tractor. See Fig. 6-8.
