Introduction 1 Professional Shop Manual intent This Manual is intended to provide service dealers with an introduction to the mechanical aspects of the Z-Force- S riding mower. • Detailed service information about the engine will be provided by the engine manufacturer, in most cases. Disclaimer: The information contained in this manual is correct at the time of writing. Both the product and the infor- mation about the product are subject to change without notice. About the text format: NOTE: is used to point out information that is relevant to the procedure, but does not fit as a step in the proce- dure. • Bullet points: indicate sub-steps or points. Disclaimer: This manual is intended for use by trained, professional technicians. • Common sense in operation and safety is assumed. • In no event shall MTD or Cub Cadet be liable for poor text interpretation or poor execution of the proce- dures described in the text. • If the person using this manual is uncomfortable with any procedures they encounter, they should seek the help of a qualified technician or Cub Cadet Technical Support. Fasteners • Most of the fasteners used on these mowers are sized in fractional inches. The engine and transmissions are metric. For this reason, wrench sizes are frequently identified in the text, and measurements are given in U.S. and metric scales. • If a fastener has a locking feature that has worn, replace the fastener or apply a small amount of releas- able thread locking compound such as Loctite® 242 (blue). • Some fasteners like cotter pins are single-use items that are not to be reused. Other fasteners such as lock washers, retaining rings, and internal cotter pins (hairpin clips) may be reused if they do not show signs of wear or damage. This manual leaves that decision to the judgement of the technician. Caution is used to point out potential danger to the technician, operator, bystanders, or sur- rounding property. ! CAUTION Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death of serious injury. ! WARNING ! DANGER Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Z-Force-S 2 Assembly Torque specifications may be noted in the part of the text that covers assembly, they may also be summarized in tables along with special instructions regarding locking or lubrication. Whichever method is more appropriate will be used. In many cases, both will be used so that the manual is handy as a quick-reference guide as well as a step-by- step procedure guide that does not require the user to hunt for information. The level of assembly instructions provided will be determined by the complexity and of reassembly, and by the potential for unsafe conditions to arise from mistakes made in assembly. Some instructions may refer to other parts of the manual for subsidiary procedures. This avoids repeating the same procedure two or three times in the manual. Description of the Z-Force-S The Z-Force-S combines a traditional Z-force lap bar zero turn rider (ZTR) with Cub Cadet’s patented Syncro Steer TM technology. The magic of the system: variable ratio steering gears that turn the front wheels much further than conventional systems. The steering control is linked to the traction drive system control. The traction drive system synchronizes the steering angle of the front tires with the speed and direction of the rear tires. A true zero-turn is achieved when the operator turns the steering wheel far enough that the inside rear wheel spins in reverse just like a traditional lap-bar controlled ZTR. Figure 1.1
