any maintenance or repairs,
disengage the PTO, move the
drive control levers fully outward
in the neutral position engaging

Lubrication
•
Using a pressure lubricating gun,
lubricate the front castor wheel axles
with Cub Cadet 251H EP grease after
every 10 hours of service.
•
Periodically lubricate all other pivot
points with a quality lubricating oil.
Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for all
engine maintenance intervals, procedures,
specifications and instructions.
Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING
! If the engine has
been recently run, the engine,
muffler and surrounding metal
surfaces will be hot and can
cause burns to the skin. Exercise
caution to avoid burns.
Maintain oil level as instructed in Engine
Operator’s Manual. Be careful not to spill oil on
any of the belts.
To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1.
Run the engine for a short time to warm
the engine oil. The oil will flow more
freely and carry away more impurities.
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
