How to Disable the Reverse Safety Switch on a 3185 Cub Cadet
- 1). Park the 3185 on a flat surface, and make sure the brake is engaged.
- 2). Open the engine cover, and use a wrench to remove the negative battery cable.
- 3). Lower the mower's deck to its lowest setting by adjusting the deck lever.
- 4). Use a screwdriver to remove the screw holding the gear shift cover in place. Set the screw aside, and lift the piece of trim partially out of the way to access the reverse safety switch.
- 5). Unplug the reverse safety switch from the plastic wiring harness. Secure it to the frame with a plastic tie.
- 6). Put the trim cover back in place, and replace the screw. Replace the negative battery cable.
