Install The Counter Weight and Foorplate
This front-weight kit is required when operating any compatible zero-turn
tractor models equipped with a grass collector. Failure to install this kit
may result in serious injury or death.
Before beginning installation, place the zero-turn tractor on a firm and
level surface, set the parking brake, place the PTO in the disengaged
(OFF) position, stop the motor and remove the ignition key to prevent
unintended starting.
NOTE
: The following steps require the use of a T-40 Torx drive and 1/2" socket for footplate removal
and re-installation, and a 9/16" socket and wrench for weight kit assembly and installation.
1.
To install the RZT bagger
weight, you will have to
remove the footplate.
In figure 18, remove
the screws (710-3085)
indicated by unscrewing
the 4 nuts (712-04065)
that are holding them in
place.
2.
Attach the RZT bagger
weight (719-04271A) and
three weight plates (789-
02137) to the weight
hanger brackets (Left -
789-04077, Right - 789-04078)
with two 3/8" hex head
capscrews (710-3085) and two
nus (712-04065) as shown in
Figure 19.
3.
Visually center the weight bar
assembly on the tractor and using
two 7/16" hex head capscrews
(710-3279) and two nuts (712-04065) secure the counter weight assembly
to the tractor as shown in
Figure 20.
4.
As shown in Figure 21,
place the footplate (703-
26752) onto the left and
right handle of the bracket
(703-24845) so that the
two holes on each side
align. Revearse the process
you used to remove the
footplate.
