Exmark Lazer Z XP Operator's Manual page 24

NOTE: On 27 HP Daihatsu Diesel units a glow plug light, located to the right of the
ignition switch, will illuminate when the switch is turned to the "ON" position. The
glow plug light indicates the glow plugs are preheating the combustion chamber.
Wait until the light goes out before rotating the key to the "START" position.
Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock position)
and blade engagement switch "OFF" to start engine. (It is not necessary for
the operator to be in the seat to start the engine.)
4.1.8 Hour Meter: Located on center of console. The hour meter is to record the
number of hours that the engine has run. If the ignition switch is left "ON" without
engine running, the hour meter will continue to run.
4.1.9 Fuel Shut-Off Valve: Located left of center on front of console. The fuel shut-off
valve is used to shut off the fuel when the machine will not be used for a few days,
during transport to and from the job site, and when parked inside a building. The
valve has three positions. Each position is made in 1/4 turn increments.
NOTE: The positions for the 27 HP Daihatsu Diesel are different than the positions
for the 31 HP Daihatsu Gas. Reference the table below for the correct locations.
FUEL FLOW
"OFF"
RIGHT TANK "ON"
LEFT TANK "ON"
4.1.10 Reserve Fuel Valve: Located right of center on front of console. The reserve fuel
valve is used to release reserve fuel from the right tank when both the left and right
fuel tanks have become empty. The valve has two positions. Each position is
made in 1/4 turn increments. Reference the table below for the correct locations.
FUEL FLOW
RIGHT TANK "ON"
RESERVE FUEL
Return the valve the "Right Tank ON" position after refueling the right tank.
Note: For 27 HP Daihatsu Diesel units, the operator must prime the fuel system
when the fuel tanks have gone empty. The primer pump is the gold button located
under the seat next to the console in the front left-hand corner. To prime the
system, turn the reserve fuel valve to the "Reserve" position and push down on the
primer pump until the tension becomes firm (approximately 10-15 pushes).
4.1.11 Drive Wheel Release Valves: Located on the top right front corner of hydrostatic
pumps. Drive wheel release valves are used to release the hydrostatic drive
system to allow the machine to be pushed without the engine running. Tilt seat
up to gain access to pumps.
With a 5/8 wrench, turn both valves one turn counter-clockwise to release drive system.
Turn clockwise to reset system. DO NOT overtighten. DO NOT tow machine.
4.1.11 Coolant Temperature Gauge: Located at the front of the right fuel tank. The
coolant temperature gauge monitors the temperature of the engine coolant. The
engine will overheat if the coolant temperature becomes too high.
4.1.12 Voltmeter: Located next to the Coolant Temperature Gauge at the front of the
right fuel tank. The voltmeter measures the voltage output of the alternator.
Both high and low voltages will potentially damage the battery.
4.1.13 Water in Fuel Light (27 HP Daihatsu Diesel Only): Located on the console to the
right of the hour meter. An illuminated water in fuel light signals water in the
diesel fuel. Water should be drained from the fuel filter if the light is on.
