Use protective glasses when
cleaning and washing.
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. Do not use a high pressure
washer or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and
electrical components with water.
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit cool
before washing.
Hardware
Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or
missing hardware.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Any servicing dealer attempting a warranty
repair must have prior approval before
conducting maintenance of a Hydro-Gear®
product, unless the servicing dealer is a
current Authorized Hydro-Gear Service Center.
Regular external maintenance of the ZT-3400
Powertrain™ should include the following:
Check oil level in expansion tanks. When the 1.
engine is cold, the tanks should be at the FULL
COLD level.
Inspect the vehicle drive belt, idler pulley(s), and
2.
idler spring(s). Insure that no belt slippage can
occur. Slippage can cause low input speed to the
transmission.
Inspect the transmission cooling fan for broken or
3.
bent blades. Remove any obstructions such as
grass clippings, leaves or dirt.
Inspect the parking brake and vehicle linkage
4.
to insure proper action and adjustment of the
parking brake.
Inspect the vehicle control linkage to the
5.
directional control arm on the transaxle. Also,
make sure the control arm is securely fastened to
the trunnion arm of the transaxle.
Inspect the bypass mechanism on the transaxle
6.
and unit linkage to make sure it rotates and
releases fully.
