Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. 8065-054 Adjust belt tension Replacing Pump Belt Park the mower on a level surface. Engage the parking brake. Belt Removal 1.
MAINTENANCE Cutting Blades For the best mowing results, it is important that blades are well sharpened and not damaged. Replace blades that have been bent or cracked when hitting obstacles. Let the service workshop decide whether a blade with large nicks can be repaired/ground or must be replaced. Balance the blades after sharpening. Check the blade mounts. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The sharpening of blades should be carried out by an authorized service workshop. Blade Replacement WARNING! Blades are sharp.
MAINTENANCE Adjusting the Mower Deck Leveling Deck Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level surface. Make sure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. See Tire Pressures in Maintenance section. If tires are under or over inflated, the deck cannot be properly adjusted. Faulty mower deck adjustments will cause an uneven mowing result. Four bolts control the height and pitch of the mower deck. The deck should be adjusted slightly higher in the rear.
MAINTENANCE Anti-scalp Rollers Anti-scalp rollers keep the deck in the proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions. Do not adjust the rollers to support the deck. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Adjust anti-scalp rollers with the mower on a flat level surface. To avoid deck damage, the anti-scalp rollers must not be adjusted to support the deck. The anti-scalp rollers can be set in three positions: • Upper position 1 to 2½" (25 to 63 mm) grass. • Middle position 2½" to 4" (63 to 102 mm) grass.
MAINTENANCE ZT-5400 Powertrain Hardware Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or missing hardware. Cleaning Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the mower deck, will increase the machine’s life-span. Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use (after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks. Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck. Regularly clean deck and underside of the deck with normal water pressure.
LUBRICATION Lubrication Schedule 8065-095 12/12 Every year 1/52 Every Week 1/365 Every day Lubricate with grease gun Oil change Filter change Level check * Change hydraulic drive filters. p Change engine oil every 50 hours. General Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements during lubrication. When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine oil. When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use high grade molybdenum disulphide grease.
LUBRICATION Wheel and Deck Zerks Use only good quality bearing grease. Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. Front Wheel Mount Remove dust cap to expose zerk. Lubricate with a grease gun until the grease is forced out around the top washer. Front Wheel Bearings Lubricate 3-4 strokes with a grease gun on each set of wheel bearings. 8065-032 Lubricating front wheels Deck Spindle Lower the cutting deck completely.
LUBRICATION Transaxle (Transmission) Fluid Change This transaxle is designed with an external filter for ease of maintenance. To ensure constant fluid quality levels and longer life, an oil filter change interval of every 400 hours is recommended. The following procedure is performed with the transaxles installed in the mower and the mower on level ground. Apply the pump release valve for each transaxle and set the parking brake. 1. Remove the filter cover on the inside rear of the transaxle.
LUBRICATION Purging Procedures Due to the effects air has on efficiency in hydrostatic drive applications, it is critical to purge the system. These purge procedures should be implemented any time a hydrostatic system has been opened to facilitate maintenance or any additional oil has been added to the system. Resulting symptoms in hydrostatic systems may be: • Noisy operation. • Lack of power or drive after short term operation. • High operation temperature and excessive expansion of oil.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Engine will not start • Blade switch is engaged. • Steering controls are not locked in the neutral position • Parking brake is not activated • Battery is dead • Contamination in the carburetor or fuel line.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Engine overheats • Clogged air intake or cooling fins • Engine overloaded • Poor ventilation around engine • Defective engine speed regulator • Too little or no oil in the engine • Contamination in the carburetor or fuel line.
STORAGE Winter Storage The machine should be readied for storage at the end of the mowing season or if it will not be in use for longer than 30 days. Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky residues that can plug the carburetor and disrupt engine function. Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards to the sticky residues that can occur during storage. Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage container.
