Parking Brake Adjustment - Cub Cadet ZT2 54 Manuel De L'opérateur

2. Rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is
parallel with the tractor.
3. Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the
ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground. The first
measurement taken should be between 1⁄16-1⁄4" (2-6 mm)
less than the second measurement.
4. Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper
adjustment and proceed, if necessary.
5. To raise the front of the deck, remove the end cap, loosen
the outer jam nut (a) then tighten (thread inward) the inner
nut (b) against the front hanger bracket. See Figure 38. When
proper adjustment is achieved, re-tighten the outer jam nut
(a) and replace the end cap.

6. To lower the front of the deck, remove the end cap, loosen
the outer jam nut (a) then loosen (thread outward) the inner
nut (b), away from the front hanger bracket. See Figure 38.
When proper adjustment is achieved, re-tighten the outer
jam nut (a) to 57 ft-lbs. (77 N-m) and replace the end cap.
ADJUSTING THE DECK WHEELS
Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of
the cutting deck.
NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and
are not designed to support the weight of the cutting deck. The
deck wheels should be approximately 1⁄4-1⁄2" (6.35-12.7 mm)
above the ground when the deck is set in the desired height
setting. To adjust the deck wheels, see the Assembly section
for instructions.
LAPBAR DRIVE CONTROL LEVER STOP ADJUSTMENT
When the lapbar drive control levers are both fully extended
forward to the full-speed position and the tractor drifts left
or right, the lapbar drive control lever stop adjustment can be
adjusted to sync the wheel speeds. To perform the adjustment,
proceed as follows:
1. Identify the side that the tractor is drifting to and adjust the
opposite lapbar drive control lever. If the tractor drifts right,
adjust the left lapbar drive control lever down (decrease
speed) and vice versa.
2. Locate the lapbar drive control lever stop adjustment bolts (a)
on the front of the seat frame. See Figure 39.
NOTE: The multi-tool (if equipped) can be used to make
this adjustment.

WARNING
3. To decrease the forward speed, turn the lapbar drive control
lever stop adjustment bolts (a) clockwise. To increase the
forward speed, turn the lapbar drive control lever stop
adjustment bolts (a) counter-clockwise. Turn the lapbar
drive control lever stop adjustment bolts (a) in the necessary
direction 1⁄4-turn at a time. After turning the lapbar drive
control lever stop adjustment bolts (a), check the adjustment
by driving the tractor.
4. Continue the adjustment until the wheel speeds are in sync
and the tractor drives straight with the drive control levers
fully extended forward in the full-speed position.
NOTE: Make sure the bolts extend through the nuts on the frame
to engage the locking feature.
Service
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A fuse is installed to protect the tractor's electrical system from
damage caused by excessive amperage. Always use the same
capacity fuse for replacement. If the electrical system does not
function, check for a blown fuse.
If you have a recurring problem with blown fuses, have the tractor's
electrical system checked by your authorized service dealer.
RELAYS AND SWITCHES
There are several safety switches in the electrical system. If a
function of the safety interlock system described earlier is not
functioning properly, have the electrical system checked by your
authorized service dealer.

PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the control
levers are moved fully outward engaging the parking brake
or if the tractor's rear wheels can roll with the parking brake
engaged (and the hydrostatic relief valve open), the brake is in
need of adjustment. See your authorized service dealer to have
the brake adjusted.
DECK REMOVAL
