Cub Cadet 1535 - Fuel System and Safety Interlocks

Q. CLUTCH/BRAKE PEDAL
NOTE
The clutch/brake pedal must be fully
depressed to start the tractor.
The clutch/brake pedal is located on the left side of the
tractor. This pedal serves a dual purpose. When the
clutch/brake pedal is slightly depressed, the clutch is
disengaged and the gears may be changed with the
gear shift lever. Fully depressing the clutch/brake
pedal actuates the brakes to stop the tractor.
R. THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER
This lever controls the speed of the engine. When set
in a given position, it will maintain a uniform engine
speed. (See Figure 4.)
■ ^NOTE
When using power take-off operated equip¬
ment, best performance is achieved with the
throttle lever in the "FAST" position.
Figure 10
The safety interlock system will automatically shut off
the engine if the operator leaves the seat before
engaging the brake lock.
The safety interlock system will automatically disen¬
gage the PTO if the operator leaves the seat with the
PTO in the "RUN" position, or the unit is shifted into
reverse with the PTO in the "RUN" position. To reen¬
gage the PTO, shift into neutral ("N"), move the PTO
switch into the "OFF" position and then engage the
PTO while seated.

This symbol shows fast position.
S. FRONT POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) CONTROL
SWITCH
The power take-off (PTO) control switch, which is
located on the left side of the instrument panel (see
Figure 4), operates an electric clutch. This electric
clutch controls the engagement ("RUN") or disengage¬
ment ("OFF") of the front PTO.
T. FUSE
The fuse is located under the hood on the left side of
the engine compartment. It is installed to protect the
tractor's electrical circuitry and components from dam¬
age caused by excessive amperage overload. (See
Figure 10.)
U. SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCHES
This tractor is equipped with a safety interlock system
for the protection of the operator. If the interlock sys¬
tem should ever malfunction, do not operate the trac¬
tor. Contact your authorized Cub Cadet Dealer.
The safety interlock system prevents the engine from
cranking or starting unless the clutch/brake pedal is
fully depressed and the PTO switch is in the "OFF"
position.
FUEL TANK
The fuel tank is located in the rear of the tractor. The
fuel tank filler cap is located on the left rear fender.
The main fuel shut-off valves are located on the bot¬
tom (left and right sides) of the tank. These valves
control the flow of fuel to the engine. To open the
valves turn the knobs counterclockwise until they stop.
To close the valves, turn the knobs clockwise until
they are tight. (See Figure 11.)
