Pre-Delivery Service of Mower by Dealer

WARNING

If you are not completely familiar with the Safety Instruction Manual read it now before proceeding with the Pre-Delivery Service of the mower. Only your authorized Wright dealer should perform the Pre- Delivery Service of the mower.

The Wright Stander ZK is shipped completely assembled and has been adjusted and tested at the factory. However, due to jostling during the shipping process and the delivery time lapse the following items need to be repeated again before starting the mower. After you have uncrated the mower, follow these procedures in the order indicated:

•Remove spark plug wire from spark plug(s).

•Inspect the mower for any damage, unusual conditions or missing parts.

•Inspect the mower for all of its decals, especially the warning decals. There should be one blade warning decal on each side of the deck, the “shield missing” under the blade belt covers, and the dash decal.

•Check (and fill if necessary) engine oil level according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation.

•Check (and fill if necessary) hydraulic fluid level. The level should be about 2” – 2 ½” below the t op of the oil fill or using a dipstick, the level will be 4.25” from the bottom of tank. Use synthetic oil: Mobil1 15W-50.

•Check rear tire pressure - 18 to 22 psi. is recommended. It should be even on both sides. Use the higher pressures for heavier operators. Front Casters are equipped with non-pneumatic tires and do not require any air.

•Check the battery to see that the cables are tight and connected properly. The battery is 12 volts and is a maintenance-free battery. Only charge the battery if it will not start the mower properly.

•Remove the blade belt covers and inspect the belt and idler arm for smooth operation.

•Rotate the blade pulleys slightly to see if they rotate freely and all turn together. There will be resistance due to the clutch brake.

•Replace the blade belt covers.

•Check the cutter deck for proper adjustment. The deck should be approximately ¼” lower in the front than in the rear and the deck should be level side-to-side. If the deck is not adjusted properly, please adjust at this time. See Deck adjustments section of this manual for further instructions.

•Lubricate all moving parts (see Maintenance Items section of this manual).

•Fill fuel tanks with regular unleaded gasoline. Turn fuel valve, located on the right side of upright to the “ON” position. The down position controls the right tank, the up position controls the left tank. Center position is “OFF” and it is recommended to turn “OFF” when not operating.

•DO NOT START THE ENGINE AT THIS TIME. FOLLOW THE NEXT PROCEDURE BEFORE STARTING. The hydraulic system MUST be checked for proper operation before allowing wheels to operate on the ground.

•Set the rear of the machine on jack stands or blocks to raise rear wheels off the ground two or three inches and check to be sure that the mower will not fall off the supports you devise. (Do not support the mower’s weight on any part of the foot platform.) You must be able to stand on the mower. The stand(s) must be able to secure the mower from rolling off or away during the next procedures. Check under the mower deck for any debris or unusual conditions.

•With hand controls in the middle or neutral position, apply the parking brake.

•Open the manual bypass valves on side of each pump a half-a-turn counterclockwise.

•Reattach spark plug wires to spark plugs.

•Before starting the engine be ready to stop it if the wheels begin to turn with the brake on. (If this happens, check that the manual bypass valves on side of each pump are open at least a half-a-turn counterclockwise.)
