z Diesel fuel is not flowing or is not
flowing sufficiently to the engine.
• Check that there is sufficient fuel in the
fuel tank. Refuel as necessary.

Replace the clogged filter.
z Air is trapped in the fuel system. • Check the fuel line for looseness.

system.
• Remove water from the fuel tank, fuel lines
and fuel filter (replace filter as necessary).
Refill the fuel tank with diesel fuel.
z In cold weather, the engine oil viscosity
is excessively high, which causes
greater resistance. As a result, the
engine speed is lower than normal.
• Use a less viscous engine oil; Be sure to
change to a more viscous engine oil in
summer. (Consult your local Cub Cadet
Yanmar dealer for details.)
z The power of the battery is too low and
the starter fails to accelerate to a
speed sufficient to start the engine.
• Clean the battery posts and terminals,
then measure the voltage of the battery. If
the voltage is 11 V or lower, replace the
battery with a new one.
• During cold weather, it is recommended to
remove the engine from the tractor and
store it indoors. Recharge the battery (as
necessary) before installing it in the
tractor.
