Just because there's snow on the ground doesn't mean you can't use your Cub Cadet mower. With the right attachments, your Cub Cadet mower becomes an all-season workhorse – use it to haul wood, or clear the driveway with a snow thrower accessory. But keep in mind: safety is always key. Winter weather conditions can make it harder to safely operate your riding mower. By installing tire chains on your Cub Cadet mower, you can safely use your power equipment all year long.
1. As always, refer to your owner's manual. Familiarize yourself with the operation of your mower as well as the tire chains. Note any special concerns your manual might outline for your specific model.
2. Make sure the mower is on a level, flat surface. Disconnect the spark plug ignition wire as well as the red battery cable.
3. Lay your tire chains so they are flat on the ground with the open sides of the cross chain hooks facing upwards. The C-hook should be on the inside edge of the tire. Make sure the chain is not twisted at any point.
4. Holding the middle of the side chains, lay the tire chain over your tire. Open ends of the cross chain hooks need to be facing AWAY from the tire.
5. Now take the loose ends of the chain and tuck them under the tire. Lightly push the mower forward. Take the hooks at the ends of the chain, and connect the C-hook to the second or third link of the side chain on the inside of the tire.
6. Pull the chain tight. You can now connect the locking link to the second or third link of the chain on the outside of the tire. Fold the locking link back and under the chain to lock it in place.
7. Once you've attached both sides, continue tightening until the mower's tire chain is very snug. You want to be sure the chains are even on both sides of the tire. To have the chains fit even tighter, you can deflate the mower's tire before tightening the chains. Make sure you refer to your owner's manual for proper inflation before starting the mower again.
8. Your chains are now secured on your mower's tires. Use your cable ties to secure any unused links from the tire chains.
