Install Weight Plates; Install Removable Weights - Exmark Laser Z Ultra Vac Operator's & Parts Manual

3.5 INSTALL THE WEIGHT PLATES
1.
The four weight plates (Item 35) must be installed under the front panel of the floor pan.
These weights give proper balance to the machine when the removable portions of the
bagger are removed.
2.
Locate the position of the mounting holes. On some machines the hole positions are
indicated by tool marks on the floor pan. Most machines will require clamping a weight
plate to the front of the floor pan (see figure 9). The ears on the weight plate should be
towards the bottom (upside down from the actual mounted position). Align the bottom edge
of the weight plate with the bottom edge of the floor pan front panel. Center the weight
plate side to side. Mark the position of all four holes using a center punch.
3.
Drill 3/8 inch holes at the points marked.
4.
Open the floor pan and install the four weight plates behind the front panel using the 5/16-
18 x 1.50 screws, 5/16 washers and 5/16-18 whizlock nuts (Items 36, 37, and 38). The
weight plates will only fit with the ears located near the bend in the floor pan. The decal on
the outside of the floor pan will still be visible with the weight plates mounted.
3.6 INSTALL THE REMOVABLE WEIGHTS
Note: The removable weights are heavy. Use
care when lifting them. Make sure that you can
hold them securely before lifting them. Use
caution when positioning your hands so that you
do not set them down on your hands or fingers.
1. Assemble the weight brackets (Item 33) to the
removable weights (Item 11) using the 3/8-16
square head bolts (Item 34) and 3/8 whizlock nuts
(Item 25).
2. Install the removable weight assemblies over the
caster arms. On 52 and 60 inch Lazer Z machines
one weight has a wide mounting bracket and one
has a narrow bracket. They will only fit the
machine one way. Weights for the 60 Lazer XP
and all 72s are interchangeable left and right.
3.
Install a clevis pin (Item 19) and hairpin (Item 20)
on each caster weight to retain them.
