Gentlemen,
I've had this used Z Force 48 for two seasons now. Its been a great mower so far and has really shortened the time I spend on grass cutting.
It has, however, been very tiring on the wrists and arms.
While cleaning and relubeing the deck, and sharpening the blades yesterday, I reset the angle of the control arms.
My model has the ability to change the angle of the control arms, and I reset them to the rearmost setting. Previously they were set to their most forward position. All that was required was to loosen two bolts, reposition the arm and retighten the bolts.
What a difference it made on the fatique factor of operating this mower. Much improved, and I now can make use of the arm rests much more than before.
At their most forward position, the previous owner must have had arms like an gorilla.
Maybe a change in control arm position may make your mowing more comfortable as well.
