HEAD LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
The tractor is equipped with headlights. If one of the
bulbs should burn out, replace the bulb as follows:

• Turn the bulb/socket assembly approximately a
quarter turn counterclockwise to align its tabs
with the notches of the reflector, then remove
from the reflector.
• Replace with a new bulb/socket assembly (Cub
Cadet No. 725-04084).
• Align the tabs of the new bulb/socket assembly
with the notches of the reflector and insert the
bulb.
• Turn the bulb/socket assembly clockwise to
lock in place. Push the wire harness plug fully
into the bulb socket.
HAZARD BULB REPLACEMENT
Hazard lights are installed on each side of the
ROPS. The hazard lights may be either round or
rectangular in shape. Replace the bulbs as follows:
• Round Hazard Light ONLY — 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. Refer
to Figure 37.
• Rectangular Hazard Light ONLY — Remove
the two screws from either the front or rear
amber lense; then slide the lense out of the
body. Refer to Figure 37.
• Push the bulb inward and turn counterclockwise,
then pull the bulb outward to remove from the
light socket. See Figure 37.

• Align the new bulb with the socket slot, push
the bulb into the socket, and turn clockwise to
lock it in the socket.
• Round Hazard Light ONLY — Position the
lense on the hazard light body and push the
lense onto the body until it snaps firmly into
place on the body.
• Rectangular Hazard Light ONLY — Push the
lense into the hazard light body and secure with
the two screws.
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 38.
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses,
have the tractor’s electrical system checked by your
Cub Cadet dealer.
