BATTERY STORAGE
• When storing the tractor for extended periods,
disconnect the battery cables. Removing the
battery from the unit is recommended.
• All batteries discharge during storage. Keep the
exterior of the battery clean, especially the top.
A dirty battery will discharge more rapidly.
• The battery must be stored with a full charge.
As the battery discharges, the electrolyte is
weakened and will freeze at a higher
temperature.
• Recharge the battery before returning to service;
or every two months, whichever comes first.
HEAD LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
The tractor is equipped with four headlight bulbs. If
one of the bulbs should burn out, replace the bulb
as follows:
• Fully raise the hood so that the hood prop
cylinders hold the hood in the raised position.
• Pull both locking tabs of the wire harness plug
away from the bulb/socket assembly and
unplug the wire harness from the bulb
assembly. See Figure 38.
Figure 38
• 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. 725-3161A).
• 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. Plug the wire harness into the
socket, making sure the plug locking tabs lock
onto the socket assembly.
TAIL LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
Each tail light assembly has two light bulbs — a
reverse indicator bulb (Cub Cadet no. 725-3263)
and a tail light bulb (Cub Cadet no. 725-3262).
Access the back side of the tail lights from beneath
the rear fender.
NOTE: Use caution when removing the tail light
sockets from the reflector housings. The bulbs can
be pulled from the sockets and dropped into the
reflector housing, requiring removal of the reflector
housing to retrieve the bulb.
Replace a tail light bulb as follows:
• Turn the light socket counterclockwise to align
the socket tabs with the notches in the tail light
reflector.
• Once aligned, carefully pull the light socket out
of the tail light reflector.
• Pull the light bulb from the socket and replace
with a like part.
• Align the tabs of the socket with the notches in
the reflector and carefully insert the socket.
Turn the socket fully clockwise to lock in place.
