Once the system is filled with oil, lift rear of mower until
rear tires are off the ground. Start engine, release parking
brake, stay clear of moving rear tires. Next, pull the neutral
bypass levers (located at the rear of the frame, on either
side of the muffler), move the drive arms forward and
backward 4 to 6 times slowly. This relieves any air that
may be trapped in the system. It may be necessary to add
more oil to the hydro overflow tank after 10-15 minutes of
running. These bypass levers also serve as a neutral for
moving the mower without the engine running.
SECTION 2: DRIVE BELT
Shown on the right is a typical pump belt tensioner for
your ZT model mower.
Tightening the two ¾˝ jam nuts on the right side will
increase the belt tension on all models. Factory setting is
about .030˝ (about the thickness of a credit card) between
coils as shown.
