Assembly
Torque specifications may be noted in the part of the text that covers assembly, they may also be summarized in
tables along with special instructions regarding locking or lubrication. Whichever method is more appropriate will be
used. In many cases, both will be used so that the manual is handy as a quick-reference guide as well as a step-by-
step procedure guide that does not require the user to hunt for information.
The level of assembly instructions provided will be determined by the complexity and of reassembly, and by the
potential for unsafe conditions to arise from mistakes made in assembly.
Some instructions may refer to other parts of the manual for subsidiary procedures. This avoids repeating the same
procedure two or three times in the manual.
Description of the Z-Force-S
The Z-Force-S combines a traditional Z-force lap bar
zero turn rider (ZTR) with Cub Cadet’s patented Syncro
Steer
TM technology.
The magic of the system: variable ratio steering gears
that turn the front wheels much further than conventional
systems. The steering control is linked to the traction drive
system control.
The traction drive system synchronizes the steering
angle of the front tires with the speed and direction of the
rear tires.
A true zero-turn is achieved when the operator turns
the steering wheel far enough that the inside rear wheel
spins in reverse just like a traditional lap-bar controlled
ZTR.
