Centering the Striping Kit

Instructions on centering the striping kit behind the mower.

The provided document is an installation guide for the CheckMate™ Lawn and Athletic Field Striping Kits, manufactured by Big League Lawns, LLC. This device is designed to attach to zero-turn lawn mowers, specifically Cub Cadet Z Force L/LX/S/SX/SZ models, to create patterned stripes on lawns.

Function Description:

The CheckMate™ Striping Kit is an accessory that attaches to the rear of a zero-turn lawn mower. Its primary function is to create a visually appealing striped pattern on a lawn, similar to those seen on professional athletic fields. The kit utilizes a roller mechanism that presses down the grass in different directions, causing light to reflect differently and thus creating the striped effect. The installation process involves mounting L-brackets to the mower's frame and then attaching the striping roller to these brackets. The guide emphasizes the importance of proper centering of the roller behind the mower to ensure optimal striping results.

Important Technical Specifications:

Compatibility: Designed for Cub Cadet Z Force L/LX/S/SX/SZ Zero Turn Lawn Mowers.
Mounting: Requires drilling a 3/8" hole on each side of the mower's frame/engine guard for the pivot/mounting bolts.
Mounting Options: Two distinct mounting options are detailed:
- Mounting Option E (Z Force L/LX/S/SX): Involves installing L-brackets to the top of the tubular framing by drilling 3/8" holes, then bolting the striper to these L-brackets. The schematic shows transition L-bracket bolts attaching to the rear of the mower frame or the underside of framing material.
- Mounting Option D (Z Force SZ): Also involves drilling 3/8" holes for mounting, but the schematic indicates a slightly different attachment point to the mower frame. It specifies that only 3/8" threads pass through the frame, and 3/8" flat washers should be utilized on each side of the mounting hole if mounting in an oversized hole.
Roller Angle: CheckMate™ Striping systems should be mounted at or below a 45-degree angle for effective operation.
Hardware: The kit includes CheckMate™ Hardware.
Tools Required for Installation: Crescent wrench or 9/16" and 3/4" wrench or socket.
Patents: US Patent 6,962,039 B2 and US Patent 6,993,894 B2.
Manufacturer Information: Big League Lawns, LLC, located at 1125 Mac Tech Dr C, Lansing, MI 48906. Contact: 800.411.0150 or sales@bigleaguelawns.com.

Ease of Installation: The guide provides detailed schematics and instructions for installation, including QR codes for video tutorials, aiming to make the process straightforward for the user.
Adjustability: After assembly, the roller can be adjusted side-to-side to ensure it is perfectly centered behind the mower, which is crucial for uniform striping.
