trained, professional technicians.
• Common sense in operation and safety is
assumed.
• In no event shall MTD or Cub Cadet be liable for
for poor text interpretation, or poor execution of
the procedures described in the text.
• If the person using this handbook is uncomfort-
able with any procedures they encounter, they
should seek the help of a qualified technician.
Fasteners
• Most of the fasteners used on the mower are
sized in fractional inches. Some are metric. For
this reason, wrench sizes are frequently identi-
fied in the text, and measurements are given in
U.S. and metric scales.
• If a fastener has a locking feature that has worn,
replace the fastener or apply a small amount of
releasable threadlocking compound such as
Loctite® 242 (blue).
• Some fasteners like cotter pins are single-use
items that are not to be reused.
Other fasteners such as lock washers, retaining
rings, and internal cotter pins (hairpin clips) may
be reused if the do not show signs of wear or
damage. This manual leaves that decision to
the judgement of the technician.
