OPERATORS MANUAL, PART 1
1400 ZTR ( Zero Turn Ride On Mower)
INTRODUCTION
Thankyou for purchasing the Deutscher 1400 ZTR mower. The mower has been manufactured by
Deutscher Mowers Pty Ltd of 711, Creswick Rd. Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. We are confident you will
appreciate the features, the mowing speed and the durability of this mower.
This manual is in two parts. Part 1 contains the operating and safety instructions plus some
maintenance operations which can be performed by most owners.
Detailed maintenance and parts lists are covered in Part 2. This part would normally be needed by a
mechanic or a dealer who performs the routine services. The mower is fitted with an hour meter and a
chart in Part 2 gives you recommendations on the type of servicing and the recommended “hours”
when that servicing should be performed.
Our warranty conditions are written on the last page of Part 1. Please read them carefully. Also,
please return the completed registration card which is included with this manual. The purpose of the
card is to register each unit at the factory so we can advise you of future product improvements or
revised operating and maintenance instructions.
In the unlikely event that the mower is sold within the warranty period, the new owner must advise*
Deutscher Mowers Pty Ltd in writing of the change of ownership and the mower’s serial number.
(*within one week of the sale). Failure to do so will mean we are not obliged to honour the warranty
conditions.
