DECK LEVELING 1D224G20073 1.1. To adjust the deck pitch, front to back, loosen or tighten the jam nuts located on the front stabilizer bracket using a 15/16” socket and a 15/16” wrench. The correct deck pitch should be 1/8” to 1/4” lower in the front than in the back, as measured from the blade tips. See Figure 1.1. Front deck hanger bracket 2004 is the first year for the RZT. There are two models RZT17 and RZT22. Now for the ‘05 model year is Kohler Command 19 HP model witha 50” deck. Figure 1.1 This series of riders has the unique feature of not having to reset the PTO switch if the end users tries to mow in reverse. Once one lapbar is moved in to neutral or forward the PTO will turn back on. 1.2. The “RZT 17” has a 17 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek which is a single cylinder engine with full pressure lubrication. The engine drives the dual hydrogear EZT Hydrostatic transmissions and the electric PTO. The PTO runs the 3-in-1blades on the 42” twin blade stamped deck. On the front of the stamped frame is a large pivoting front axle. All this with the 3 gallon fuel tank will provide many hours of fun and relaxing mowing. To level the deck, side to side, loosen the screw on the left side adjustment gear using a 1/2” socket. Using a 3/4” wrench, run the gear up or down as necessary until each outside blade tip is the same distance from the ground. See Figure 1.2. Deck hanger rod The “RZT 22” is very similar to the RZT 17 except for the twin cylinder, 22 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek. There are also 4 wheels, instead of 2, on the 50” triple blade stamped deck. All versions of the Cub Cadet RZT (and White ZT) are bagger capable. Deck adjustment gear Figure 1.2 1 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com 2. PTO / DECK BELT REPLACEMENT 3.

Disconnect the ferrule at the EZT end of each lap bar control rod from the neutral return assembly on each of the EZTs. The ferrules are secured to the neutral return assemblies with hairpin clips. See Figure 7.3. 6.14. Installation notes: • Lift transmission into place and start all threaded fasteners before tightening any individual fasteners. • The remainder of the installation process consists of reversing the removal process. • Tighten the lug nuts to a torque of 350-500 inlbs. • Tighten the center wheel hub nut to a torque of 100-160 ftlb. Ferrule Figure 7.3 NOTE: In the course of normal service, it is very unusual for the neutral return assemblies to require adjustment unless someone has previously tampered with it. It is necessary to check the adjustment because the rest of the proce- 6 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com dure counts on the neutral control being correctly adjusted. 7.4. 7.5. 7.7. Start the engine. With the control rods disconnected, the EZT should self-center to neutral. The wheels should not rotate. If either wheel rotates, the neutral return assembly on the EZT that drives that wheel needs to be adjusted. Align the post on the ferrule with the hole that it seats into on the neutral return assembly. Thread the ferrule up or down the length of the control rod to center the lap bar in the neutral recess in the control console. See Figure 7.7. Right lap bar To adjust the neutral return assembly, loosen the socket head cap screw that holds the centering bracket in position on the housing using a 1/ 4” allen wrench. See Figure 7.5. Neutral adjustment screw Figure 7.7 Figure 7.5 7.6. 7.8. When each ferrule is in the correct position, secure it to the neutral control assembly with a hairpin clip. 7.9. Lower the machine to the ground. Test the operation of the hydros in a safe space. 7.10. Adjust the stop bolts so that it tracks as straight as possible with both lap bars pushed to the full forward position. See Figure 7.10. Rotate the assembly in whichever direction causes the wheels to stop rotating. The point where the wheels do not rotate with the engine at full throttle is true neutral. Tighten the socket head cap screw at true neutral. Stop bolt Figure 7.10 7 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com 7.11. The socket head cap screws that secure the neutral return assemblies to the EZTs act as a travel stop at the EZT end of the linkage. The lap bar pivot brackets should contact the stop screws before the socket head cap screw contacts the end of the slot on the neutral bracket. See Figure 7.11. NOTE: With one lap bar in the reverse position, and the PTO turned on, the PTO clutch should turn off as soon as the second lap bar crosses the threshold from neutral into reverse. Repeat test for each side. NOTE: When at least one lap bar is in the neutral or forward position, the PTO clutch will operate. There is not a relay to re-set by cycling the PTO switch off and on again, as is the case with Cub Cadet front engine residential equipment. Neutral adjustment screw 7.14. If the reverse safety switch adjustment is not correct, loosen the reverse safety switch bracket using a 3/8” wrench. Pivot the bracket and switch to a position that results in correct operation, then tighten the bracket. See Figure 7.14. Figure 7.11 7.12. If the lap bars are not aligned with each-other, they may be adjusted using the slotted mounting where they connect to the lap bar pivot brackets. See Figure 7.12. Lap bar adjustments Reverse safety switch Figure 7.14 NOTE: It is not necessary to remove either control console to reach the reverse safety switches, but it may be necessary to temporarily disconnect the blue wires in order to reach the mounting screws for the brackets. Figure 7.12 7.13. After final adjustment, test the operation of the reverse safety switches. They should turn the PTO clutch off whenever both lap bars are in the reverse position. 8 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com 8. PIVOT BAR 8.1.

The PARKING BRAKE SWITCH is located under the seat box frame. See Figure 15.2. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS This section is intended to help technicians identify the location and function of specific components on the RZT electrical system. -Both sets of contacts are normally open (N.O.). -When the switch is activated the red wire supplies power to the seat switch. The red/white wire is for an indicator light on the hour meter. An orange wire goes to the starter solenoid. The orange/white wire goes to the PTO switch. 15.1. The SEAT SAFETY SWITCH is located under the seat assembly. See Figure 15.1. -The contacts on the switch are normally closed. This is indicated with the initials N.C.on the side of the spades. -When the seat is unoccupied this will energize relay # 1 & 2. NOTE: The seat safety switch has nothing to do with the starting circuit. Seat safety switch Brake switch Figure 15.2 NOTE: The brake switch is part of the start curcuit. Figure 15.1 20 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com 15.3. The NEUTRAL SWITCHES are in the console on each side of the unit. They are normally open/ normally closed switches. See Figure 15.3. 15.4. The REVERSE SWITCHES are located just under the lapbars in the console. See Figure 15.4. -The two inner terminals are N.C. They have a yellow/ white wire which supply a ground to center set of spades on the PTO switch and spade 87 on the brake relay. -There are two of these switches. -These are normally closed switches (N.C.). -The switches need to be set-up in a way that when the lapbar(s) are pulled to the rear the switch opens the circuit and eliminates power to the PTO from that switch. -The two outer terminals are N.O. The left switch has a yellow/white wire which goes to the key switch and a orange that goes to the right neutral switch. The right neutral switch has the orange wire and a orange/black wire which leads to the PTO switch. -One lapbar can be pulled back at a time but, if both are pulled back that will cut power to the PTO. Returning one or both lapbars to neural will reengage the PTO. This is done by wiring the switches in parallel Neutral switch -If the reverse safety switch adjustment is not correct, loosen the reverse safety switch bracket using a 3/8” wrench. Pivot the bracket and switch to a position that results in correct operation, then tighten the bracket. Reverse safety switch Figure 15.3 NOTE: These switches are part of the starting circuit. Figure 15.4 NOTE: It is not necessary to remove either control console to reach the reverse safety switches, but it may be necessary to temporarily disconnect the blue wires in order to reach the mounting screws for the brackets. 21 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com 15.6. The KEY SWITCH is located on right console in front of the PTO switch. 15.5. The PTO switch is located on the right console behind the key switch. This switch is part of the start circuit, PTO run circuit, and reverse safety circuit. See Figure 15.5. -There was a midyear change to the key switch. Units with serial number before 1F014G20062 should have key switch 725-04019 (Delta switch number 6900-31P) and Harness 725-04170. When the old key switch is turned to the start position it doesn’t energize the fuel shut off solenoid. This will not allow fuel to flow to the carburetor while the engine is cranking. To correct this, there is a new key switch (725-04228) and a harness adapter (725-04229). This is available in kit 759-04058 (service advisory CC-451) - The first set of terminals are in the start circuit. The orange/white wire connects to the brake switch and the orange/black wire goes to the neutral switches. The PTO switch needs to be in the off position to start the unit. -The second set of terminals are part of the reverse safety circuit. They consists of yellow/black wire connecting to the terminal “30” of the PTO relay and the yellow/white wire which connects to terminal “87” on the brake relay and neutral switches. -A new wiring harness 759-04170A should be on all models with serial numbers above 1F224G20001. These models will NOT need the harness adapter (759-04058) and will already have the proper key switch. -The third and final set of terminals, PTO run circuit, consists of blue wire from the reverse safety switches and a red wire from the run line. -To check for the proper key switch perform the following test. NOTE: If you are checking for power at the PTO switch, you should have 12 volts at the red wire and no voltage at the blue wire with the PTO switch turned off. With the PTO switch on you will have 12 volts at both the blue and red wires. Be sure all other condition are being meet for the PTO to run properly. PTO switch Key switch NOTE: A multimeter or continuity tester will be need for this section. Turn key to OFF position and check for continuity you should have continuity between G and M only. Turn key to the RUN you should have continuity between L and B. Neutral switch Turn and hold key in the Start position you should have continuity between L, B, and S. -If this is the case then you have the most current switch. The old key switch is usually identical to the new switch. The difference being that the old switch when turned to START would have continuity between B and S only. Figure 15.5 22 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com -The BRAKE RELAY should have a consistent ground (terminal 86) and will receive power (terminal 85) when the brake switch is activated. Brake relay Seat relay PTO relay Figure 15.7 15.7. There are three RELAYS in the electrical system of the RZT. They are located under the right side console toward the rear. See Figure 15.7. 15.8. The STARTER SOLENOID is located under the right console just to the right of the relays. See Figure 15.8. -The relays are assessable from under the rear of the console - Be certain that there is a good path to ground by making sure there is a star washer under the mounting tab on the starter solenoid. -To replace a relay, the console does not need to be removed. -When testing by feel a click should be felt when activated. -Starting from the left they should be in the order of SEAT, PTO, and, BRAKE -The SEAT RELAY should have a consistent ground (terminal 86) and will receive power (terminal 85) when the seat switch is activated. -The PTO RELAY should have a consistent ground (terminal 86) and will also receive power (terminal 85) when the seat switch is activated. 23 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com Starter solenoid Figure 15.8 24 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com 25 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 www.mymowerparts.com 26 K&T Saw Shop 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983
