Lap Bar - Cub Cadet Z-Force Service Manual

NOTE: Fill the IHT and check the fluid level
through the vent port at the top off the housing.
NOTE: The IHT may be spun with a drill motor
and purged prior to installation, or they may be
purged after installation.
NOTE: To purge:
• With the engine running and the by-pass valve
open (release rod pulled-out), slowly stroke the
directional control to its full travel in both direc-
tions 5 or 6 times.
• Turn off the engine and check the fluid level in
the IHT.
• Repeat the procedure with the by-pass valve
closed (release rod pushed all the way in).
• Repeat until the IHT performs at normal operat-
ing speed and cavitation wine has subsided.

LAP BAR

NOTE: Lap bars should be adjusted so the oper-
ators upper arm are relaxed and approximately
vertical, and operators forearms should horizon-
tal.
NOTE: Lap bar adjustment should be performed
after tracking and neutral control has been con-
firmed to be correct.
7.1. Using a 1/2" socket and 1/2" wrench, adjust lap
bars up and down by installing the bolts that hold
the lap bar to the steering pivot bracket in a dif-
ferent set of holes. Install the bolts snugly
enough that each lap bar can pivoted on the
lower mounting bolt with light effort.
See Figure 7.1.
