1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
1. Understand the performance and limitations of 
your tractor. Carefully study this operator’s 
manual and learn the instructions in it before 
operating or servicing your tractor. Keep the 
Operator’s Manual in an easily accessible place.
2. Strictly follow the statements given in the 
DANGER, CAUTION and WARNING safety 
decals attached to the tractor.
3. Do not operate the tractor with the Roll-Over 
Protective Structure (ROPS) in the folded 
position. 
Keep the seat belt fastened while operating the 
tractor with the Roll-Over Protective Structure 
(ROPS) up. This practice will reduce the 
possibility of injury or death in the event of roll-
over accident.
If the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) has 
been removed for any reason, be sure to reinstall 
all the associated parts before operating the 
tractor.
Do not alter the Roll-Over Protective Structure 
(ROPS). The altered Roll-Over Protective 
Structure (ROPS) may fail to provide the 
designed protection.
Replace the damaged Roll-Over Protective 
Structure (ROPS) immediately. Contact your 
local Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer for technical 
assistance.
The foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure 
(ROPS) may be temporarily folded down when 
absolutely necessary for areas with height 
limitations. Remember that when the Roll-Over 
Protective Structure (ROPS) is in the folded 
position, the Roll-Over Protective Structure 
(ROPS) does not provide operator protection and 
the seat belt should not be worn.
For operator safety, always keep the Roll-Over 
Protective Structure (ROPS) in the upright and 
locked position.
NEVER alter or repair the Roll-Over Protective 
Structure (ROPS). Welding, bending, drilling, 
grinding, or cutting may weaken the Roll-Over 
Protective Structure (ROPS) structure. Contact 
your local Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer for technical 
assistance.
4. Always fasten the seat belt while operating the 
tractor with the Roll-Over Protective Structure 
(ROPS) up.
Check the seat belt for any damage. Replace the 
damaged seat belt immediately. Contact your 
local Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer for technical 
assistance.
Do not use the seat belt if the foldable Roll-Over 
Protective Structure (ROPS) is in the folded 
position or the tractor does not have the Roll-
Over Protective Structure (ROPS).
5. Check overhead clearance carefully before 
driving under power lines, wires, bridges or low 
hanging tree branches, before entering or leaving 
building, or in any other situation where the 
operator and/or Roll-Over Protective Structure 
(ROPS) may be struck, which could result in 
serious injury.
6. Make sure that any person (other than a usual 
operator) who will operate the tractor studies this 
operator’s manual before operation. Know the 
controls and how to stop the machine quickly.
7. Make sure that any person or obstacle is not 
under or around the tractor before and during 
operation. Be sure to maintain sufficient 
overhead clearance above the tractor.
8. Do not operate your tractor and/or implement 
installed to it while you are under the influence of 
alcohol, drug, medicine or controlled 
substance(s) or when you are not fit for operation 
of your tractor.
9. For operation, wear close-fitting clothing. When 
operating the tractor or working around the 
tractor, do not wear loose-fitting clothes or 
jewelry, or baggy or damaged clothing. When 
caught by a moving part of the tractor, an 
accident can result. Cut-off pants or shorts do not 
provide protection against flying debris. Never 
operate the tractor in bare feet, sandals, or
