C13-325-6 F687 Z-Trak Mower 48-, 54-, and 60-in. 7-Iron Commercial Mower Deck features include: Deck is constructed of 7-gauge steel. Stamped from a single sheet of steel so that there are no welds to wear or break. The design also provides a smooth underside, without corners, to reduce material buildup that would affect performance and cut quality. Deck is deeper, providing increased vacuum action and reducing dropped clippings. Plastic discharge chute reduces damage to foliage and resists bending. Rotates 90 degrees for service. Blade overlap is 40 mm, nearly 20 mm greater than previous decks to reduce striping between blades. 3-spindle design. Spindles greaseable from the top. Quick-attach design. PTO shaft drive. Quick-change cutting height adjustment. Decks are offset to the trim side for better trimming performance. Large pneumatic caster wheels for smooth operation. Mulch kit available.

PTO SHAFT MOWER DECK DRIVE MOWER DECK HEIGHT-ADJUSTMENT PEDAL A B An easy-to-use cutting height pedal (A) permits the operator to adjust the mower deck height handle (B) with no tools and minimal effort. This design increases productivity by allowing the change of cutting length without having to leave the seat. MOWER DECK ROTATES Mower decks are driven by a splined shaft, which is driven by PTO shaft extending from engine. The drive shaft is turned on/off by an electric clutch. Mower deck rotates 90 degrees for service access or trailer transport. Safety latch locks mower in rotated position. Reduces overall length of machine by approximately 8-in. for added trailer space during transport. No tools required to rotate mower. Note: Use two people when rotating 60-in. mower.

C13-325-10 MULCHING ATTACHMENT F687 Z-Trak Mower SINGLE REAR WHEEL KIT The mulching attachment allows converting the 48-, 54-, and 60-in. 3-spindle mowers so they can be used to perform the mulching function (grass or leaves) of this system. The attachment consists of special mulching blades, mulch baffles to direct the clippings into the blade for recutting, and a discharge closure and hardware. Operating Tips Mow when grass is dry. Observe the 1/3 rule. No more than 1/3 of the grass blade should be cut off at one time. This allows more efficient mulching and will promote the continued good health of the grass. If the desired cut height can t be achieved by cutting off 1/3 or there is clumping of the clippings, it may be required to cut higher; wait a day then lower the mower and make a second pass. Mow at proper intervals approximately every 4 to 5 days. Always mow with sharp blades. If mulching performance is not satisfactory, raising the mower to increase cut height, even a little bit, will often make a big difference.
