Important Notes

• Verify compatibility with your specific Ryobi zero-turn mower model, manufacturing number, serial number, engine configuration, and production revision before ordering.
• Homelite / Ryobi OEM parts documentation identifies 997078001 specifically as “FUEL GAUGE ZTR.”
• ZTR refers to the applicable zero-turn riding mower application.
• Match part number 997078001 directly with the number shown in your mower's illustrated parts diagram or OEM documentation.
• Do not select a replacement fuel gauge based solely on appearance. Dimensions, mounting configuration, tank opening size, sealing surfaces, gauge mechanism, and equipment application can vary between similar-looking components.
• Do not confuse 997078001 ZTR Fuel Gauge with the complete fuel tank, fuel cap, fuel sender, fuel line, fuel filter, carburetor, or other fuel system components.
• Inspect the applicable fuel tank opening, sealing surface, mounting area, fuel lines, cap, and surrounding components when replacing the gauge.
• If the original fuel gauge is leaking, inspect the gauge seal and fuel tank mounting surface for cracking, distortion, contamination, or other damage.
• A gauge that displays an incorrect fuel level may be caused by a damaged or sticking gauge mechanism. Verify that the applicable mechanism can move freely.
• Clean the applicable mounting and sealing surfaces before installing the replacement component.
• Keep dirt, grass clippings, water, and other contaminants from entering the fuel tank during service.
• Ensure the replacement gauge is properly seated and secured before adding fuel or operating the mower.
• After installation, inspect the fuel system carefully for leaks before returning the mower to service.
• Gasoline and fuel vapors are highly flammable. Perform fuel system repairs only with the engine cool and away from flames, sparks, hot surfaces, and other ignition sources.
• This listing is for one Homelite 997078001 ZTR Fuel Gauge only unless otherwise specified. Fuel tanks, caps, seals, fuel lines, filters, senders, mounting hardware, and other fuel system components are sold separately.
• Match part number 997078001 with your mower's illustrated parts diagram or OEM documentation before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
