Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

 
IMPORTANT: This Out Front Z-Rider is equipped with 
hydrostatic drive. The forward and rearward movement 
of the machine is controlled by a joystick lever. 
Joystick operations should be performed only from the 
operator’s position in the seat. A small movement of 
the joystick can cause the machine to move instantly. 
Move joystick very carefully and slowly.
  
 
ROLL RELEASE: To roll the machine without the 
engine running, pressure within the hydraulic pumps 
must be released. There is one lever on the upper 
right side of each pump that is used to release the 
pressure. Rotate lever counter clockwise and secure 
in that position . See Figure 2.4.

2.2 

STARTING & STOPPING - ENGINE, BLADES & 
PARKING BRAKE 
This machine is equipped with dual 
hydrostatic wheel drive transmissions. Each 
transmission is controlled by a single motion 
control lever or joystick. This single control 
lever (joystick) controls the direction of 
motion, Forward and Reverse, and the speed 
of motion. Move the joystick forward to propel 
the machine forward. Move the control 
rearward to propel the machine in reverse. 
The speed of motion is continuously variable 
from neutral (zero) to maximum. 
 
 
 
 

Moving the joystick farther from the neutral 
position will cause the speed of motion to 
increase. To turn, move the joystick towards 
the side you want to turn to.  
DO NOT make sudden changes in speed or 
direction. Always slow machine motion before 
turning. To stop the motion of the machine 
bring the joystick back to the neutral position. 
Engage parking brake. 

 

2.2.1. STARTING 

ENGINE 

When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the 
engine will not turn over unless the parking

Be seated on the Out Front Z-Rider before 
attempting to start the engine with the key 
switch.

2.  Sit in operator’s seat. 
3.  Push blade switch in to “OFF”, blades
