Clearance for the Z-Trimmer in both the up and down
positions.
NOTE: The Z-Trimmer is designed to fit most styles of
mowing decks. We recommend using 4 mounting holes
to secure the Z-Trimmer to the mowing deck. The style
of mowing deck on your machine will determine which
mounting holes you will use.
Section 3 Mounting Instructions
Before drilling any holes into your mowing deck, locate
the best position for the Z-Trimmer. Things you should
consider before drilling any holes:
—
Accessibility to the handle from the operator’s seat.
—
Distance between the trimmer head and the mowing
deck when the Z-Trimmer is in the engaged position.
—
Check for possible blade interference.
Place the Z-Trimmer to the side of the mowing deck
opposite of the grass discharge chute. Position the base
plate so that the plate is flush with the edge of the deck
and on center. Once in position, mark four holes from the
base plate onto your mowing deck. Drill the holes with a
1/4” (.250-.257) drill bit. Secure the Z-Trimmer to the
mower deck using (4) 1/4”-20 x 1” Hex Bolts P#(K1125)
and (4) 1/4”-20 Nylon Flange Locknuts P#(K2014).

NOTE: Route the power cable before connecting the cable to the battery. After the Z-trimmer has been secured to the
mowing deck, connect the main power cable to the mower battery (connect the wire to the positive terminal and red
the black wire to the negative terminal). Route the cable around the outside of the operator seat so that the cable
does not interfere with the seat or the control arms. Keep cable away from all heat sources. Use zip-ties to secure the
power cable, once the best routing has been determined.
Section 4 Operating Instructions
When not in use, the Z-Trimmer should be in the upright
