GENERAL INFORMATION

2004 is the first year for the ZT. There are two models
ZT17 and ZT22. New for the '05 model year is a Kohler
Command 19 HP model with a 50" cutting deck.
This series of riders has the unique feature of not hav-
ing to reset the PTO switch if the end user tries to mow
in reverse. Once one lapbar is moved in to neutral or
forward the PTO will turn back on.
The "ZT 17" has a 17 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek which
is a single cylinder engine with full pressure lubrication.
The engine drives the dual Hydro-gear Hydrostatic
transmissions and the electric PTO. The PTO runs the
3-in-1blades on the 42" twin blade stamped deck. On
the front of the stamped frame is a large pivoting front
axle.
The "ZT 22" is very similar to the ZT 17 except for the
twin cylinder, 22 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek. There are
also 4 wheels, instead of 2, on the 50" triple blade
stamped deck.

DECK LEVELING

1.1.
To adjust the deck pitch, front to back, loosen or
tighten the jam nuts located on the front stabi-
lizer bracket using a 15/16" socket and a 15/16"
wrench. The correct deck pitch should be 1/8" to
1/4" lower in the front than in the back, as mea-
sured from the blade tips. See Figure 1.1.

To level the deck, side to side, loosen the screw
on the left side adjustment gear using a 1/2"
socket. Using a 3/4" wrench, run the gear up or
down as necessary until each outside blade tip
is the same distance from the ground.
