DESCRIPTION

The Zero Turn is intended for use on large lawns and other frequently maintained areas where a

smooth, even cut is desired and superior maneuver- ability is needed. The tractor unit consists of either a 21 hp or 25 hp Kawasaki or a 23 hp Kohler twin cylin- der engine. The engine has a pressurized oil lubrica- tion system with spin-on type filter, fused electronic igni- tion, electric start and a 12.5 gallon fuel system.

Two hydrostatic pumps and two wheel motors are used for propelling and steering. The pumps are belt driven by the engine output shaft. One lever for each drive controls both speed and direction. This inde- pendent control of each drive wheel coupled with continuously variable speed selection gives the Zero Turn mower exceptional maneuverability.

The mower attachment is available in 49” or 55” and 61” cutting widths. The mower has three cutting blades, driven by an electromagnetic clutch through a single v-belt.
