Had a similar experience with my full size Z (not super though). One side wouldn't move either direction, and the other side barely moved so I was dead in the water. Lifted the seat and oil was foaming out of the tank and it was all over the place. Cracked both by-pass valves, blead the system enough to get the foaming stopped and manage to get back to the garage. This happened again later on and admit I was at a loss to what to do so I figured I'd change the oil and filter. When I reached up to take the filter off it was not even close to being tightly seated. Finished with the oil change and new filter. Turned out the loose filter was the total problem. It had been on there for I don't know how long and figured the gasket must have degraded enough so that it was no longer a tight seal.Hello Everyone. I'm brend new here but have a problem. I bought a 2020 Super Z over the weekend. It has a steering issue and my hydraulic oil is also foaming.
First the steering . It is on the left side only. When I start the mower I have nothing on the left side. I can move the lever either way and nothing. Now if I drive some using the right, it seems to pick up in 30-60 seconds, and clears pretty quickly then drives fine. It acts like nothing is there, starts working and fixes itself fairly fast, but not immediately.
Now as far as the hydro oil foaming. I did put some air pressure on the tank tonight and found a small leak at a suction line fitting. I haven't fixed it yet but it has a hose clamp on it. I think I can add another and fix it.
I don't think the 2 are related being one is on the right and one 1on the left. Someone said something about a spring in my pump?
I thought you said you had the manuals? ....I'll look later and see if I can find them and post them. Thanks
