With a reinforced fabricated deck, tougher tires, and a fully adjustable high-back seat with armrests, the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 Series of zero turn riders provides you with the ultimate all-around mowing experience. However, if you do not change the fuel filter in your machine regularly you can kiss that ultimate mowing experience goodbye.
There are many benefits to changing the fuel filter in your Cub Cadet. A fuel filter is designed to properly strain the gas before it reaches the carburetor in your lawn mower. Fuel filter replacement is important because it prevents particles from clogging your engine.
Before performing any maintenance on your Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2, refer to your owner’s manual for recommended maintenance and safety information. Maintenance instructions vary by model, so depending on your riding lawn mower model our instructions may vary slightly. Check your owner’s manual to get instructions specific to your model.
We are changing the fuel filter and the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 with the Kawasaki FR691V. Begin by placing a couple of rags down on the engine bay to soak up any fuel that you take out. Use a pair of fuel line crimps. Put these on so the engine does not leak any fuel out. You are going to get a little bit of fuel, what comes out of the filter. We are not draining the line.
Use a pair of pliers to take the fuel line clamps and just move them up the fuel line. Just give the fuel filter a little twist to bring it loose. Do the same thing on top and properly dispose of the old fuel filter.
We are using the Kawasaki replacement filter that can be found at any Weingartz stores or on weingartz.com. On the filter itself, it does have a flow direction for which way you want it to go. It should go towards the carburetor. Right on the side there is a little arrow that says “flow,” that will go towards the carb. Reinstall the filter and reinstall the clamps. Make sure you’re properly seated, remove the rags, start your machine, test and that’s all.
