New ZForce 50 Owner

[Plainsman]

Hello, I picked up my new Z just the other day. Bought it while it was covered in snow so I walked away paying only $3K. Im pretty excited for my new lawn.

Questions I have:
So why cant I flush hydro fluid in this thing? Anyone tapping in drain plugs to be able to dump fluid?

How about headlights, what are people doing for headlights?

Since my mower is all grimy from the snow today, can I take a bucket of hot water and wipe things down? I have read to avoid getting water down the vents anything else?

The hour meter has a funny icon that looks like a kleenex box. What is that thing? It was flashing when I got it home, Im guessing its when the battery is charging?

Z-Force Hydros are sealed units. If service is needed, Its recommended done by dealer.

You will notice some conical looking black covers sticking out the top of the drives. Do NOT spray with a pressure washer in this area without pulling off those conical vents and absolutely SEALING those little pipes. ANY water in those drives will destroy them.

If you don't have to mow any tall grass it may serve you well.

Good luck,
Doc
