Checking the Brake Adjustment
Position the Z-Series on a level surface and move 
the throttle lever to the slowest position (turtle).
Stop the engine, remove the key from the ignition, 
and engage the parking brake.
Release both hydraulic relief levers.
From the rear push on the frame and try to move 
the Z-Series.
If you can move it, then the brake force must be 
increased. Go to ADJUSTING BRAKE FORCE.
If you can not move it, the go on to next step.
Release the parking brake and try again to move 
the Z-Series by pushing.
If you can not move it, then the brake force must be 
decreased. Go to ADJUSTING BRAKE FORCE.
If you can move it, then you are done (no adjustment 
necessary).
Adjusting Brake Force
Place the Z-Series on level surface without the 
brake engaged and place blocks behind the 
wheels.
Turn the engine OFF and remove the key from the 
ignition.
From underneath the Z-Series directly behind the 
caster wheel pivot bar, locate the brake rods. There 
is one on the right and one on the left.
See Figure 11.
The factory sets a 1/16” gap minimum between the 
brake arm and frame of the Z-Series. More 
adjustment may be necessary
If increased force is needed, then rotate brake rods 
clockwise.
If decreased force is needed, then rotate brake rods 
counterclockwise.
Repeat process on the other brake rod.
Check the operation of the brakes before operating. 
If the adjustment does not help, see your dealer.

Steering Adjustment
Remove the ignition key from ignition switch and 
detach the bottom of the rubber boot cover on the 
drive handles.
Slide the boot cover all the way up (toward the drive 
handles) to access the drive handle bolts.
Remove both bolts securing the drive handles and 
remove the drive handles and the rubber boot.
Remove the four bolts securing the retaining plate 
to the control tower cover.
Pull up on the cover and slide up and over the 
control tower.
Remove both safety switches from their respective 
holders by squeezing together on the retaining clips 
while gently pushing upward until the switches clear 
the brackets.
