 WARNING:

NEVER RUN THE ENGINE IF THE BAT-

TERY IS REMOVED OR IF THE BATTERY

IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE CHARGING

SYSTEM.  SERIOUS DAMAGE TO

CHARGING SYSTEM COMPONENTS

MAY RESULT.

DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENT

Before checking the deck level makes sure

that tire pressures are inflated to the proper

level. Begin by setting the deck to a fixed

position and pointing the blades to the front

edge of the deck.

ELECTRICAL

The fuse box is located under the seat on a

panel mounted to the seat frame.  There are

two (2) fuses that run the system, the top

fuse, which is a 20 amp, is the main fuse.

The second, a 15 amp fuse, takes care of the

electric clutch.  The third and fourth slots are

blank extras.  If there is a recurring fuse

failure, check the electrical system for a

short.

ELECTRICAL DAIGRAMS

Z Series riders electrical diagrams are on

page 10, 11 and 12 for the various models.

 CAUTION:

Mower blades are sharp and can cut you

during blade maintenance or adjustment.

Use suitable covering over cutting edges of

blades to prevent bodily harm.

To obtain optimum mowing results, mower

blades should be kept sharp and well bal-

anced.  File or grind blades evenly.  Take

care to retain angle of original cutting edge.

CHARGING SYSTEM

An alternator is used to charge the battery.

The alternator charging system normally

requires no service other than periodically

checking that all exposed wiring and electrical

connections on the machine are clean, tight

and in good condition.

Proper polarity is critical with an alternator

equipped charging systems.  Always discon-

nect battery cable (negative) before working

on any part of the electrical system.  Verify all

components are connected correctly before

reconnecting ground cable (negative) or

damage to alternator system components will

result.

Measuring from the blade to the ground on

each side of the deck will give the best read-

ing. To adjust deck position loosen the bolt on

the deck hanger bracket and move bolt in the

slot either up or down depending which way

you need to move the deck. You should

always maintain at least a 1/8 inch of deck

pitch from front to back. Also all four chains

must support the deck equally or must have

equal tension on them.
