POWERFUL DIESEL ENGINE FOR INCREASED PERFORMANCE
The Z997R is powered by a 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a gross 37.4 hp (27.5 kW) that meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Final Tier 4 emission standards. The engine achieves Final Tier 4 compliance by using a diesel oxidation catalyst with diesel particulate filter (DOC/DPF) system. The three-cylinder diesel engine features low noise levels, superior fuel economy, and a high torque reserve that provides plenty of power and performance.

ENGINE FEATURES INCLUDE
Economical, cast-in block cylinder design provides good cooling and long life.
Liquid-cooled design provides more consistent operating temperatures than air-cooled.
Fuel filter with replaceable element is provided.
Indirect fuel injection uses a pre-combustion chamber to give the engine smooth and quiet operation.
Full-pressure lubrication with full-flow filter lengthens engine life.
Engine wear reduced by ensuring proper lubrication, even when operating on hillsides or uneven terrain.
Oil filter helps keep oil clean for increased engine life.
Aluminum alloy pistons with built-in steel struts are lightweight to reduce connection rod bearing loads and provide good heat-transfer characteristics.
Design permits tighter tolerances and neutralizes expansion of the piston, thereby reducing blow-by fuel and noise from the piston slap.
Higher top rings on the piston and a thinner head gasket greatly reduce the volume of unburned waste and increase combustion efficiency.
Timing gears and injector drive gears utilize helical profile gears to help lower engine noise.
Gear teeth have a ''roll-off'' profile, giving almost no clash, no noise, and no backlash.
Glow plugs provide quick starts in temperatures down to -18C (0F)
Key start and shutoff eliminate fuel shut-off knob; electric solenoid shuts fuel supply off immediately when key is turned off.

DUAL-ELEMENT, DRY-TYPE AIR CLEANER WITH SAFETY ELEMENT AND AIR SERVICE INDICATOR IS PROVIDED.
Dual-element design for added engine protection
Easy to service
Completely sealed for effective cleaning and 90 to 95 percent of dirt ejected before it reaches the paper element
Secondary safety element for additional filtering
Air-restriction indicator to let operator know when the filter needs servicing

FULL-PRESSURE LUBRICATION WITH FULL-FLOW FILTER LENGTHENS ENGINE LIFE.
Engine wear reduced by ensuring proper lubrication, even when operating on hillsides or uneven terrain
Oil filter helps keep oil clean for increased engine life

AIR CLEANER FILTERS OUT DUST TO EXTEND ENGINE LIFE
The ZTrak Z997R Diesel Mower is equipped with a dual-element, canister-style air filter that is easily accessible from the rear of the machine without tools.
Filtration system pulls clean air from above the engine, in turn filtering out the dust that can damage an engine over time.
Filters are easy to change when required.
Pre-cleaner provides extra protection against contamination in dusty and dirty applications.

12-U.S. GAL. (45.4-L) CAPACITY FUEL TANK ALLOWS THE OPERATOR TO MOW FOR A FULL DAY WITHOUT REFUELING

12-U.S. gal. (45.4-L) capacity allows the operator to mow for a full day without refueling.
Large filler neck makes for easier refueling.
Standard fuel gauge is provided.
Top fuel draw provides added safety by reducing the chance fuel will leak out.

THE DECKS YOU NEED, FOR THE WAY YOU MOW.
7IRON PRO SIDE DISCHARGE Not everyone mows the same. We understand that. Thats why we have you covered with three great decks. First, theres the legendary 7Iron PRO side-discharge deck. Forged from a single sheet of seven-gauge steel using four million pounds of pressure, the 7Iron deck is 5.5 inches (13.9 cm) deep. Which explains why theyve remained an industry standard for over twenty years.

MULCH ON DEMAND
And when it comes to a mulching deck, nothing can touch our Mulch On Demand deck. Because we put the power to choose mulching or side-discharge at your fingertips. By shifting the lever to mulch position, the movable gate closes off the discharge chute.

FASTBACK PRO REAR DISCHARGE
Lastly, if you need to mow right to the edge, theres the FastBack PRO Rear Discharge deck. A unique baffling system reduces clumping and windrowing often associated with rear-discharge decks. So less clippings get on the operator and stay where they should: in the turf
