Cub Cadet 1811 User Manual

A. FUSE
The fuse is installed to protect the tractor’s electrical
circuitry and components from damage caused by
excessive amperage overload. (See Figure 4 or 5.)
B. CHOKE CONTROL
The choke control is operated manually. Pull knob out
to choke engine. Push knob In to open choke. (See
Figure 4 or 5.)
C. BRAKE PEDAL (1810,1811, and 1812 Tractors
Only)
■ ^NOTE
Do not rest your foot on the single brake
pedal while driving the tractor as this would
cause the speed control lever to return to the
"N" position.
Brake pedal must be pressed all the way down to
activate the safety starting switch. When brake pedal
is in the depressed position, it automatically moves
the speed control lever to the "N" position if the link¬
age is properly adjusted. (See Figure 5.)
The tractor can be stopped either by pressing the
pedal all the way down, or placing the speed control
lever in the ”N” position.
D. BRAKE PEDAL LOCK
A WARNING
The hydrostatic transmission will not hold
the tractor on a hill. In a short period of time
(depending on the steepness of the hill) the
oil will drain from the transmission and allow
the tractor to roll downhill. To avoid an
accident and/or possible injury, lock the
brake.
Always lock the brake when tractor is parked on a
grade. To lock the brake, depress brake pedal and
place the brake pedal lock in the engaged position.
(See Figure 6.) To disengage the lock, press down on
the pedal, lift the lock up and place it in the disen¬
gaged position.

E. C LUTCH-BRAKE PEDAL (1806 Tractors Only)
The combination clutch-brake pedal is used to disen¬
gage the engine from the transmission when shifting
gears and to actuate the brake to stop the tractor. To
activate the safety starting switch or to disengage the
clutch to change gears, the pedal must be pressed all
the way down. (See Figure 4.)
F. FRONT POWER TAKE-OFF CONTROL SWITCH
The power take-off (PTO) control switch, which is
located on the left side of the instrument panel (see
Figure 4 or 5), operates an electric clutch. This elec¬
tric clutch controls the engagement ("RUN") or disen¬
gagement ("OFF") of the front PTO.
G. INTERLOCK SAFETY SWITCHES
CAUTION
The engine will not start unless:
1. The brake pedal is depressed.
2. The PTO switch is in the "OFF" posi¬
tion.
3. The operator is seated.
When using PTO operated equipment, the
operator must remain in tractor seat at all
times. If operator should leave tractor seat
without turning off the PTO switch, the PTO
will automatically disengage.
Interlock safety switches are activated by the brake
pedal, the PTO switch located on the control panel,
and a switch located underneath the operator’s seat.
The interlock safety switches, activated by the brake
pedal, PTO switch and seat switch, serve to prevent
starting the engine accidentally. The engine will not
start unless: 1. the brake pedal is depressed. 2. the
PTO is in the "OFF" position, 3. the operator is
seated.
The reverse switch (Models 1810, 1811 and 1812) is
located on the underside of the pedestal. It is
activated by the speed control lever. The reverse
switch (Model 1806) is located under the fender. It is
activated by the gear shift lever. The reverse switch
will disengage the PTO switch if the speed control
lever or gear shift lever is placed in reverse when the
PTO switch is in the "RUN" position.
H. L IFT HANDLE (1806 and 1810 Tractors Only)
The lift handle is used to lift or lower equipment used
with the tractor. The equipment can be set in multiple
positions by depressing the button on the handle and
releasing it when the desired position is reached.
An additional feature has been provided to give
increased float capability to the deck by depressing
the button and rotating the pin into the slot as shown
in Figure 7.
