4. Install the new filter by following the above steps in reverse order.
5. Test run the engine and check for leaks before returning to service.
Clean the engine
Air cooled engines cool better if they are clean. Check
for nesting or signs of nesting especially after dormant
season storage. See Figure 9.11.
Transmissions
The Z-Force S has two options for transmissions. The
48” deck version is equipped with two HydroGear EZT
transmissions. The 60” version is equipped with two
ZT2800 transmissions.
The maintenance procedures for the transmissions are
located in the HydroGear manuals. The Hydro-gear shop
manual for the EZT transmissions is form number BLN-
52622. The Hydro-gear shop manual for the ZT2800 trans-
missions is form number BLN-52441.
NOTE: The ZT2800 transmissions have an expansion
tank mounted in front of the engine. When the
transmissions are cold, the tank should be empty.
