Operator station
Color-coded controls are easy to identify
The operator station is designed to provide superior operator comfort for many different operators:
Comfortable seat with armrests
Seat back
The comfortable seat has two suspension springs and no-tools, fore-aft seat adjustment that can be used by the operator while seated. The Z515E has:
Long, steel seat springs (left)
Long, steel seat springs (right)
Two long, steel springs under the seat absorb shocks when traveling over rougher areas to provide a smoother ride.
Foot platform with foot pegs installed
Foot pegs provide you with more foot placement options and act as convenient handles to remove and replace the foot platform.
NOTE: Foot pegs are standard on the Z530R and Z545R and an optional extra-cost kit on the Z515E and Z530M.
Dual beverage holder
Storage compartment
The dual beverage holder on the left fender and storage compartment on the right fender add convenience for the operator:
NOTE: A storage compartment cover is standard on the Z530R and Z545R.

The 48-in. (122-cm), 54-in. (137-cm), and 60-in. (152-cm) Accel Deep Mower Decks are a stamped-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility. Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds or in tall grass:

Trim side of Accel Deep Mower Deck
Deep mower-deck stamping delivers high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows room for the cut and suspended material to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of recutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:
Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:
Accel Deep Mower Deck, discharge side
Accel Deep Mower Deck, trim side
Cleaning a mower deck is one of the most frequent maintenance activities. The flat-top shape of the deck stamping is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:
Mower wash port
Mower wash port with hose connector
A wash port and hose connector are provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy.
Hinged spindle pocket cover
Double-captured mower wheel
Accel Deep Mower Decks have strong spindle pockets to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough service:
Accel Deep Mower Decks are designed for maximum versatility, providing the greatest ease in changing from one mower discharge mode to another:
The MulchControl system for Accel Deep Mower Decks is an optional field-installed attachment and makes mulching practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching, but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect lawn material.
Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:
MulchControl baffle in open position (similar mower from X500 Series Tractor shown)
MulchControl baffle in closed position (similar mower from X500 Series Tractor shown)
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
MulchControl handle
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharge or bagging when needed.
While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl still mulches about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:
Power Flow rear bagger
An optional 6.5-bu (230-L) Power Flow rear bagger material collection system (MCS) is available. It provides an efficient means of collecting grass clippings and leaves:
