PRE-DELIVERY SERVICE OF MOWER BY DEALER
Before proceeding with the Pre-Delivery Service of your mower,
please read the safety instructions manual in its entirety. Only your
authorized Wright dealer should perform the Pre-Delivery Service of
the mower.
The Wright ZTO is shipped completely assembled and has been adjusted and tested at the factory. However, due
to the jostling of 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, raise and lock the ROP’s to the upright position.
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” decal under the blade belt cover, 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 hydraulic expansion tanks oil levels. Use motor oil: 20W-50 (see Hydro Check/Fill section of this manual).
Check rear tire pressure – 18 – 22 psi. is recommended. 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.
Lubricate all appropriate moving parts (see the Lubrication section of this manual).
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 “Quick Cut Height” deck adjustment system for proper operation.
Add regular unleaded gasoline to fuel tank. (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.
Put the control handles in the”Drive” (handles in) position, this releases the internal parking brake. Try
starting the engine. (Engine should not start. If engine starts, service the parking brake locking system)
Apply parking brake by moving the control handles to the “Park/Brake” (Handles out) position.
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 transaxles, etc.
Release the parking brake by moving the control handles to the drive position. Next, move the
hand control levers, one at a time, to make the wheels move in forward and backward rotation.
Before testing the blade clutch/brake operation, make sure the area is clear and there is nothing vulnerable to
possible thrown objects from under the mower. No one should be near the mower deck or in its line of discharge
at this or at any time. The discharge chute deflector should be in the down position.
Move the engine throttle control to ¾ RPM speed setting.
Move the control handles to the “Inward” operational position.
