HAZARD BULB REPLACEMENT
Hazard lights are installed on each side of the
ROPS. To replace the bulbs proceed as follows:
Insert a thin bladed screwdriver, or similar tool,
between an amber lense and the hazard light
body, then twist to separate the lense from the
body. See Figure 36.
Figure 36
Push the bulb inward and turn counterclockwise,
then pull the bulb outward to remove from the
light socket. Refer to Figure 36.
Align the new bulb with the socket slot, push
the bulb into the socket, and turn clockwise to
lock it in the socket.
Position the lense on the hazard light body and
push the lense onto the body until it snaps
firmly into place on the body.
SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Fuses are installed to protect the tractor’s electrical
system from damage caused by excessive amper-
age. Always use the same capacity fuse for
replacement. If the electrical system does not func-
tion, check for blown fuses. See Figure 37
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses,
have the tractor’s electrical system checked by your
Cub Cadet dealer.
Figure 37
Main Fuse
The main fuse in the tractor wire harness protects
the tractor’s entire electrical system. A blown main
fuse will prevent battery current from passing
though the harness.
To replace the main fuse:
Raise tractor hood and remove right side panel.
Locate the fuse holder on the front of the bulk-
head, just inside the right side of the dash panel.
Refer to Figure 38.
Pull the main fuse from the fuse holder and
replace with the same capacity fuse (30 Amp).
NEVER use a higher amperage fuse.
Install side panel and lower tractor hood.
