DRIVING THE Z-SERIES

1.Start the engine and allow it to idle for a moment.

2.Set the throttle to the fastest position (full open).

3.Release the Parking Brake by depressing the Parking Brake Pedal.

4.Gradually provide input by moving the Drive Handles in the desired direction.

Note: The Z-series speed, while driving, is based on the position of the Drive Handles. Push or pull the handles to full for maximum speed and positions in between neutral and full for slower speeds.

DRIVING ON SLOPES

Before operating the Z-series on any slope:

1.Use the Slope Gauge to determine if the slope is safe for operation.

2.If safe for operation, walk the slope and look for hazards such as rocks, mounds, ruts, stumps or other irregularities.

3.After removing debris and identifying irregularities of the slope, back the Z-series up the steepest slope you intend to work. If it cannot negotiate the slope in reverse, the slope is too steep.

Use the following guidelines when operating on a slope:

WARNING: Do not mow on inclines with a slope greater than 15 degrees (a rise of approximately 2-1/2 feet every 10 feet). Slopes greater can cause the Z-series to overturn and cause serious injury.

•Drive UP and DOWN slopes. Never drive across slopes.

•Avoid turns. If you must turn, turn down the slope. Turning up a slope greatly increases the chance of roll over.

•Avoid stopping when driving on a slope. If you must stop, start slowly and smoothly to reduce the chance of flipping the Z-series over backwards.

STOPPING THE Z-SERIES

1.Release pressure on the Drive Handles (guiding them to neutral).

2.Disengage the PTO (down).

3.Depress the parking brake and hold.

4.Push the parking brake handle down. (See Figure 8)

5.Move the throttle lever to the slowest position (toward turtle).

6.Turn the Ignition to the OFF position.

7.Remove the key.

OPERATING THE PTO (POWER TAKE OFF) CLUTCH

Note: The operator must remain seated at all times. If the operator leaves the seat without turning off the PTO, the engine will automatically shut off.

NOTE: Be sure lift lever is not in the L position when the PTO is engaged.

Note: When the Z-series drives in reverse with the PTO engaged (Up), the PTO is automatically disengaged (Down).

1.Sit in the seat and start the engine.

2.Move the throttle lever to the FAST position (rabbit).

3.Pull up on the PTO to put it in the RUN position. See Figure 4.
