Engage the parking brake by pressing down on the brake pedal or pulling the parking brake lever, depending on the model. 5. Locate the throttle control lever, usually located near the engine or on the control panel. 6. Move the throttle control lever to the "Fast" or "Start" position. 7. If the lawnmower has a choke, locate the choke control lever and move it to the "Choke" position. 8. Grasp the starter handle or push the electric start button, depending on the model. 9. Pull the starter handle firmly or press and hold the electric start button until the engine starts. 10. Once the engine starts, release the starter handle or electric start button. 11.

There could be several reasons why the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower is not starting. Here are some possible causes: 1. Start Circuit: Check the start circuit of the lawnmower. Ensure that the key switch is in the START position, which spins the starter motor, enables the ignition, and energizes the afterfire solenoid. Verify that battery power is passing from the "B" terminal to the "S" terminal of the key switch. 2. Brake Switch: Make sure that the brake switch is functioning correctly. If the brakes are off, the switch plunger should be up, and the NO contacts should be open. If the brakes are applied, the switch plunger should be depressed, and the NO contacts should be closed. Power should be passed along to the PTO switch. 3. PTO Switch: Check the PTO switch. If the PTO switch is on, the NC terminal on the "A" set of contacts should not connect to anything. If the PTO switch is off, the NC terminal on the "A" set of contacts should be connected to the COM terminal on the "C" set of contacts. Power should be passed along to the trigger terminal on the starter solenoid. 4. Starter Solenoid: Ensure that the starter solenoid is receiving power when the key is in the START position, the park brake is set, and the PTO is off. When the starter solenoid is energized, it connects the heavy red cable from the battery with the heavy red cable that leads to the starter motor, causing the starter to spin. If the lawnmower still does not start after checking these components, it is recommended to consult a professional or refer to the user manual for further troubleshooting steps.
To adjust the cutting height of the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower, follow these steps: 1. Locate the cutting height adjustment lever or knob on the lawnmower. It is usually located near the front or rear wheels. 2. Identify the different cutting height positions marked on the lever or knob. These positions are typically labeled with numbers or symbols indicating the desired cutting height. 3. Push or pull the cutting height adjustment lever or turn the knob to the desired cutting height position. Each position corresponds to a specific cutting height, such as 1 inch, 2 inches, or 3 inches. 4. Release the lever or knob to lock it into place at the selected cutting height. 5. Repeat the process for each wheel if your lawnmower has individual wheel height adjustment. 6. Ensure that all wheels are set to the same cutting height to achieve an even cut. 7. Once the cutting height is adjusted, start the lawnmower and begin mowing your lawn. Remember to refer to the user manual for specific instructions and recommended cutting heights for different grass types and mowing conditions.
If the cutting height adjustment is not working on the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower, there could be a few possible reasons. Here are some troubleshooting steps: 1. Check the gauge wheels: The gauge wheels are designed to maintain the proper cutting height and prevent scalping. Ensure that the gauge wheels have the recommended clearance of 1/4" to 1/2" above the ground. Adjust them if necessary by repositioning them and securing them with the shoulder bolt. 2. Level the deck: A level deck is essential for an even cut. Check the deck's front-to-rear pitch by measuring the distances from the front and rear blade tips to the ground. The front measurement should be 1/4" to 3/8" less than the rear measurement. Adjust the deck's pitch by turning the lock nut on the front deck hanger. 3. Verify tire pressure: Improper tire pressure can affect the cutting height. Check the tire pressure and ensure it is at the recommended levels (approximately 10 psi for rear tires and 20 psi for front tires). By following these steps, you can troubleshoot and resolve issues with the cutting height adjustment on the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower. If the problem persists, it is recommended to consult a professional or refer to the user manual for further assistance.
To clean the cutting deck of the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower, follow these steps: 1. Park the lawnmower on a flat and level surface, ensuring that the engine is turned off and the key is removed. 2. Engage the parking brake to prevent the lawnmower from moving during the cleaning process. 3. Raise the cutting deck to its highest position using the cutting height adjustment lever or knob. 4. Use a brush or scraper to remove any grass clippings, debris, or buildup from the top and underside of the cutting deck. Pay special attention to the areas around the blades and discharge chute. 5. If necessary, use a hose or pressure washer to rinse off any remaining debris. Be cautious not to spray water directly into the engine or electrical components. 6. After cleaning, lower the cutting deck to the desired cutting height using the cutting height adjustment lever or knob. 7. Inspect the cutting blades for any damage or wear. Replace or sharpen the blades as needed. 8. Once the cutting deck is clean and blades are in good condition, you can safely resume mowing. Remember to refer to the user manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines regarding the cleaning and maintenance of the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower.

To adjust the cutting height of the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower, follow these steps: 1. Place the lawnmower on a smooth and flat surface. 2. Move the cutting deck to the desired mowing height using the deck lift pedal. 3. Check the gauge wheels' distance from the ground. They should have a clearance of between 1/4" to 1/2". 4. If adjustment is needed, remove the shoulder bolt securing the gauge wheel to the index bracket. 5. Reposition the gauge wheel to align with one of the index holes that places the wheel 1/4" to 1/2" above the ground. 6. Secure the gauge wheel to the index bracket by tightening the shoulder bolt. 7. Repeat the same steps for all gauge wheels on the lawnmower. 8. Ensure that both front wheels use the same index hole, and both rear wheels use the same index hole. Please note that the cutting deck on the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower is designed with a slight rake, meaning that the front of the deck is slightly lower than the rear. This design helps to create proper airflow for effective grass cutting. Always refer to the user manual for detailed instructions and safety guidelines.
If the cutting height adjustment is not working on the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower, there could be a few possible reasons. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check the gauge wheels: Ensure that the gauge wheels have the proper clearance of 1/4" to 1/2" above the ground. If they are too low or too high, adjust them by repositioning them to align with the index holes that provide the correct height. 2. Verify the deck hanger link: Loosen the hex bolt on the front left deck hanger link and adjust the deck level by turning the adjustment gear. Turning the gear clockwise raises the left side of the deck, while turning it counterclockwise lowers the left side. 3. Check the front-to-rear leveling: Measure the distances from the front and rear of the blade tip to the ground. The front measurement should be 1/4" to 3/8" less than the rear measurement. Adjust the deck pitch by tightening or loosening the lock nut on the front deck hanger. If the cutting height adjustment still does not work after following these steps, it is recommended to consult a professional technician or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
To clean the cutting deck of the Cub Cadet RZT S 46 lawnmower, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the lawnmower is turned off and the engine is cool. 2. Locate the LH (left-hand) and RH (right-hand) deck release pins on each side of the deck. 3. Pull the release pins outward to release the deck from the LH and RH deck lift arms. 4. Place the deck lift handle into the highest mowing position. 5. Slide the deck out from beneath the lawnmower. 6. Use compressed air to blow off debris from the top of the deck. 7. Use a plastic scraper to scrape off debris buildup from the underside of the deck. 8. Optionally, apply a light coating of oil to the underside of the deck to prevent rusting and debris buildup. 9. Once the deck is clean, slide it back under the lawnmower. 10. Reattach the deck to the LH and RH deck lift arms by pushing the release pins inward until they lock into place.
