WARNING
PRE-DELIVERY SERVICE OF MOWER BY DEALER
If you are not completely familiar with the Safety Instruction Manual read
it now before proceeding with the Pre-Delivery Service of the mower.
Only your authorized Wright dealer should perform the Pre-Delivery
Service of the mower.
The Wright Stander ZK is shipped completely assembled and has been adjusted and tested at the factory.
However, due to jostling during the shipping process and the delivery time lapse the following items need
to be repeated again before starting the mower. After you have uncrated the mower, follow these
procedures in the order indicated:

Inspect the mower for any damage, unusual conditions or missing parts.

Inspect the mower for all of its decals, especially the warning decals. There should be one blade warning
decal on each side of the deck, the “shield missing” under the blade belt covers, and the dash decal.

Check service, parts and recall bulletins to ensure unit does not need any updates.

Check (and fill if necessary) engine oil level according
to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation.

Check (and fill if necessary) hydraulic fluid level. Use fully SYNTHETIC oil: Mobil-1 15W-50 (see Hydro
Check/Fill section of this manual).

Check rear tire pressure - 18 to 22 psi. is recommended. It should be even on both sides. Use the
higher pressures for heavier operators. Front Casters are equipped with non-pneumatic tires and do not
require any air. Lowering tire pressure will affect deck pitch.
Always check pitch any time tire
pressure is set below recommended pressures.

Check the battery to see that the cables are tight and connected properly. The battery is 12 volts and is
a maintenance-free battery. Only charge the battery if it will not start the mower properly.

Check the cutter deck
for proper adjustment. The deck should be approximately ¼” lower in the front
than in the rear and the deck should be level side-to-side. If the deck is not adjusted properly, please
adjust at this time. See Deck adjustments section of this manual for further instructions.

Lubricate all moving parts (see Maintenance Items section of this manual).

Add regular unleaded gasoline to fuel tank. Turn fuel valve, located on the right side of the engine by the
fuel filter,
to the “ON” position. (Use a minimum of 87 octane gasoline)
(You may use gasoline containing
up to 10% ethanol and gasoline containing up to 5% of methanol.)

Check brake safety interlock.
o
Try starting the engine with the parking brake released. (Engine should not start. If engine starts,
service the parking brake locking system)
o
With hand controls in the middle or neutral position, apply the parking brake.

Start the engine according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendation. Let the engine run at low -
mid RPM for several minutes to ensure the engine oil reaches all of the engine parts and gets the
hydraulic fluid circulating through the pumps, etc.
o
Check if the parking brake locking system prevents the units from being driven while engaged. If not,
service the parking brake locking system.

Release the parking brake. Next, move the hand control levers, one at a time, to make the wheels move
in forward and backward rotation.
