Z Force

14.28.Inspect and gap (or replace) the spark plugs

prior to installation.

14.29.Spark plugs: Champion RC8Y or equivalent,

gapped to .030” (.75mm).

14.30.Oil capacity: 1.6 U.S. qts. (1.5L) without filter

replacement. Use 1.8 U.S. qts. (1.7L) with filter

replacement.

14.31.Oil type: API Service Classification SF, SG, SH,

or SJ.

14.32.Oil viscosity: SAE30 will be suitable for most

operating conditions (32 deg.f. to 90 deg.f.).

Where temperatures exceed 100dg. f. SAE40 is

an acceptable alternative (68 deg. f. and up). If

multi-grade oils are used, an increase in oil con-

sumption is to be expected, and the oil must be

checked more frequently.

15. THE Z-FORCE MODEL LINE-UP

15.1. There are three engine and deck combinations

available on the Z-Force for 2004.

See Figure 15.1.

• 42” two blade cutting deck with an 18.5 H.P.

Briggs and Stratton Intek single cylinder engine

• 44” three blade cutting deck with a 20 H.P.

Briggs and Stratton Intek V-twin engine

• 48” three blade cutting deck with a 22 H.P. Brigs

and Stratton Intek V-twin engine.

15.2. We have chosen to cover some service informa-

tion that applies to the Kawasaki engine offered

the 2003 Z-Force because it is likely to be less

familiar to technicians than the Briggs and Strat-

ton products.

15.3. The cutting decks are all similar to those offer

elsewhere in the Cub Cadet model line, with the

exception of the mounting method and drive ori-

entation (front Vs. rear engine). See Figure 15.3.
