Changing The Fuse

Battery

The battery is sealed and is maintenance free. Acid levels can not be checked.

•Always keep the battery, cables, and terminals clean and free of corrosive build-up.

•After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a light coat of petroleum jelly or grease to the terminals and over the positive terminal boot.

•Always keep the boot positioned over the positive terminal to prevent shorting.

IMPORTANT: If removing the battery for any reason, disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) wire from it’s terminal first, follow by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. When reinstalling the battery, always connect the POSTIVE (red) wire to it’s terminal first and the NEGATIVE (Black) wire second. Be certain that the wires are connected to the correct terminals.

Charging

If the unit has not been in use for an extended period of time, charge the battery with an automotive-type 12-volt charger for a minimum of one hour at six amps. Never store battery without a full charge.

Tires

The two front wheels are caster wheels that swivel to accommodate the direction of the Z-Series. The two rear wheels are used to propel the Z-Series in the direction of input from the drive handles. Inflation pressure of the tires is important for stability while the Z- Series is in operation. See tire side wall for proper inflation pressure.

WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace when necessary.

Removing The Drive Belt

Visually inspect the drive belt for wear and cracking. If the drive belt shows signs of glazing, fraying, cracking or excess wear it needs to be replaced. Follow these steps to replace the drive belt.
