and service of quality hydrostatic transaxles for
the lawn and garden industry. The mission of
our company is to be recognized by our custom-
ers and the industry as a world-class supplier

This Service and Repair Manual is designed
to provide information useful in servicing and
troubleshooting the Hydro-Gear ZT-2200
(EZT
®
) and ZT-2100 Integrated Zero-Turn
Transaxle.
Also included is a glossary of terms that are
frequently used throughout the industry and in
Hydro-Gear service publications. Understand-
ing terminology is very important!
It is necessary, and a good shop practice, that
your service area be equipped with the proper
tools and the mechanics be supplied the latest
information available. All repair procedures
illustrated in this guide are suggested, but pre-
ferred methods of repair.
Repair procedures require that the transaxle
unit be removed from the vehicle.

in our industry.
