NOTE: The operator’s seat is equipped with a  
separate safety switch. If for any reason the operator  
should become unseated when the neutral switches  
are disengaged or the blade engagement switch is  
engaged the engine will stop.  
Safety Start Interlock System  
The mower is equipped with a safety start interlock system  
consisting of park brake switches, seat switch and blade  
engagement switch.  
Check mower safety start interlock system each day prior  
to operation. This system is an important mower safety  
feature and should be repaired immediately if it is  
malfunctioning. The mower incorporates a separate seat  
switch which will stop the engine whenever the operator is  
unseated while the mower is moving or the blades are  
engaged. This safety feature is designed to prevent  
runaway or accidental entanglement. Inspect the system  
as follows:  
The following steps are the correct procedures for starting  
the engine. If difficulty is encountered, contact the Land  
Pride Dealer in your area.  
1. Before starting mower each day, perform daily  
pre-operation checking. (See “Safety Start Interlock  
System” on this page.)  
2. Make sure the control levers are in the brake position  
and blade engagement switch is disengaged.  
1. The operator must be on the seat when testing the  
seat switch.  
3. Set throttle at approximately 1/2 open position.  
2. Set both control levers in the park brake position.  
NOTE: Use choke position when engine is cold, or if  
warm engine fails to start within 5 seconds of  
cranking. Avoid flooding and operate engine without  
choking as soon as possible.  
3. Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating  
temperature.  
4. A person should be able to slowly raise off the seat  
without the engine stopping if the blade engagement  
switch is down and the control levers are in the park  
brake position.  
4. Insert key in ignition switch and rotate clockwise to  
engage starting motor. Release key when engine  
starts.  
5. The engine should stop within two seconds if a person  
raises slowly off the seat and either the blade

Section 2 Operating  
IMPORTANT: The engine starter should not be  
operated for periods longer then 30 seconds at a time.  
An interval of at least two minutes should be allowed  
between such cranking periods to protect the starter  
from overheating and burn-out.  
IMPORTANT: Following repairs, always make certain  
the two bypass valve stems are returned to their  
operating position before running the mower.  
Driving the Mower  
5. Perform test to make sure safety start interlock system  
is operating properly. Refer to “Safety Start Interlock  
!
DANGER!  
Never make sudden stops or sudden reversing of direction,  
especially when going down a slope. The steering is designed  
for sensitive response. Rapid movement of the control levers in  
either direction could result in a reaction of the mower that can  
cause serious injury.  
6. As soon as engine begins to run, check to make  
certain the oil warning light is off. If not, stop engine  
immediately and check for the cause. Refer to  
7. Allow the engine to idle a few minutes before  
advancing the throttle and/or engaging the blade  
clutch.  
Steering  
Refer to Figure 2-8 on page 12  
After starting engine, engage the control levers and steer  
as follows:  
8. Before stopping the engine, place the control levers in  
the brake position, disengage the blade engagement,  
and throttle back to low idle for a couple of minutes;  
then rotate ignition key counter-clockwise to the OFF  
position. Remove the key from switch before leaving  
the seat.  
To Go Forward:  
Push control levers forward an equal distance.  
To Go in Reverse:  
Pull control levers rearward an equal distance.  
To Turn Left:  
!
WARNING!  
Move the right control lever farther forward from neutral  
than the left control lever.  
Never leave the machine unattended with key in ignition switch.  
To Turn Right:  
Moving Mower with Stalled Engine  
Refer to Figure 2-7  
Move the left control lever farther forward from neutral  
than the right control lever.  
The mower hydro-drives are equipped with bypass valves  
for moving the mower when the engine is inoperable. The  
valve stems to the bypass valves are located near the top  
of the hydraulic pumps and are identified as a hex stud.  
Before moving the unit, turn each bypass valve stem  
counter clockwise one-half to one revolution and place the  
control levers in neutral position.  
To Pivot Turn:  
Move one control lever forward and the other control lever  
back of neutral, this will allow the drive wheels to counter-  
rotate.  
Controlling the Speed  
Do not tow the machine. Move it by hand or use a winch to  
load it on a trailer for transporting.

DANGER!  
When going in reverse push forward gently on control levers  
and avoid sudden movement. Any sudden movement could  
cause the front of the mower to come off of the ground resulting  
in possible loss of control.  
To Stop or decrease speed:  
Move control levers to neutral. When going forward pull  
back gently on control levers. When going in reverse push  
forward gently on control levers.  
To Increase Speed:  
Increase control levers equal distance from neutral. The  
farther forward control levers are from neutral, the faster  
the mower will travel forward. The farther back the control  
levers are from neutral, the faster the mower will go in  
reverse.

Operating Suggestions  
!
DANGER!  
Prior to operating the mower the operator should be thoroughly  
familiar with the proper use and operation of the equipment,  
should read the manual completely and thoroughly, and should  
have attempted slow moving maneuvers to become familiar with  
the operation of the equipment before attempting normal speed  
operation. An inexperienced operator should not mow on slopes  
or on uneven terrain.  
!
WARNING!  
Do not operate the equipment while wearing sandals, tennis  
shoes, sneakers, shorts or any type of loose fitting clothing.  
Always wear long pants, safety glasses and safety shoes when  
operating this machine.  
Keep blades sharp. Many problems with incorrect cutting  
patterns are due to dull blades or blades which have been  
sharpened incorrectly. Information on sharpening blades  
is listed in this manual’s maintenance section. In addition,  
most communities have individuals or companies which  
specialize in sharpening mower blades. Blade sharpness  
should be checked daily.  
!
WARNING!  
The mower’s control levers are very responsive: Easy does it!  
For smooth operation, move lever slowly, avoid sudden  
movement. Skill and ease of operation come with practice and  
experience.  
Inexperienced operators may have a tendency to  
over-steer and lose control. Slow-moving practice  
maneuvers are recommended to become familiar with  
these characteristics before attempting normal speed  
operation.  
Often professional mowing companies have an additional  
set of blades and change blades twice a day: once in the  
morning and again at noon.  
Use high blade speed. Your Razor Pro is designed to  
operate at full throttle. The throttle setting directly controls  
blade speed. The highest blade speed generally gives the  
best cut.  
!
WARNING!  
Sharp depressions or raised obstacles (such as gutters or curbs)  
should not be directly approached at high speed in an attempt  
to jump them as the operator could be thrown from the mower.  
Approach at a slow speed and angle one drive wheel at the  
obstruction. Continue at an angle until the wheel clears and  
then pivot the opposite wheel around.  
Direct grass discharge away from unmown area. Refer  
to Figure 2-9 on page 13. Select a mowing pattern that  
directs grass discharge away from uncut grass. Generally,  
this means using a pattern utilizing left turns because  
grass side discharge is to the right. Grass discharged onto  
an unmowed area will be mowed twice. Mowing grass  
twice puts an unnecessary load on the mower and  
reduces mowing efficiency.  
When turning on soft wet turf, keep both wheels rolling  
either forward or backward. Pivoting on one stopped  
wheel can damage turf. This is especially important when  
mowing.

Approach the mower from the front. Spread the steering  
levers fully apart if they aren’t already in the wide-open  
parking brake position. Taking care not to step on either  
side of the mower deck, step up on the operators’ platform  
and comfortably seat yourself. With both steering levers  
still wide apart now reach for the throttle and choke control  
to your right side. Position the throttle control at half  
throttle and pull the choke to the “up/on” position. Insert  
your ignition key and rotate the ignition key clockwise until  
you hear the engine begin to start. Release the ignition  
key and push the choke to “down/off” position. Allow the  
engine to warm up momentarily. If your mower has just  
been running and the engine is already warm, using the  
choke is usually not necessary.  
Discharge

Discharge Chute  
Figure 2-9  
!
WARNING!  
Never direct discharge of material from mower deck towards  
bystanders.  
With the engine at half throttle reach forward and bring  
both steering levers equally together in the neutral  
position just in front of you. It’s now time to test your  
steering skills. Gently push both steering levers equally  
forward. The farther forward you push the levers the faster  
you will go. Pull back equally and you will slow down  
coming to a stop when you reach the neutral position. Now  
slowly pull the levers back toward your body past neutral  
position. The mower will reverse direction and increase in  
speed as you pull further back. If you push one lever  
forward and pull one lever back the mower will do a Zero  
turn in the direction of the steering lever closest to your  
body. Now take a few moments in a safe area to practice  
steering your mower with the engine still at half throttle.  
Gradually increase your throttle speed until you feel totally  
confident in your mower steering and handling ability.  
!
WARNING!  
Never operate the mower deck with discharge chute removed or  
in raised position.  
!
WARNING!  
Always check area to be mowed for rocks and other debris  
before mowing.  
Mower Deck Operation  
!
DANGER!  
Never attempt to make any adjustments to the mower deck while  
the engine is running or when the blades are engaged. Mower  
blades cannot be seen and are located very close to deck  
housing. Fingers and toes can be cut off instantly.  
It’s now time to cut the grass. Hopefully you have already  
removed any obstacles from the lawn that you do not want  
run over. With your mower at half throttle, place your right  
foot on the deck lift pedal and release and lower the deck  
to your preset cutting height. With your right hand, pull up  
on the cutting blade engagement knob and increase the  
engine speed to full throttle. You may now begin mowing.  
With the engine running, engage the blades (Refer to  
Figure 2-10) and advance engine throttle to full rpm.  
When you are done mowing or just want to take a break,  
make sure you do all of the following. Park on level  
ground, disengage the cutting blade, throttle back, leave  
the steering levers in wide-open parking brake position,  
turn the engine off, remove the key, and step carefully off  
the front of the machine.  
NOTE: Engaging the blades at high engine rpm or  
when under heavy load (in tall grass for example)  
can cause belts to slip, resulting in premature wear  
or possible damage.

Unless specifically required, DO NOT have engine running  
when servicing or making adjustments to the mower. Place  
control levers in the park brake position and remove ignition  
switch key. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power  
should be performed by trained personnel only. To prevent  
carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure proper ventilation is  
available when engine must be operated in an enclosed area.  
Read and observe safety warnings in front of manual.

Refer to Figure 3-1  
The neutral adjustment for the control levers in the neutral  
position is discussed in this section.  
Your Razor Pro was adjusted before it left the factory and  
was checked during pre-delivery set-up. However, after  
start-up and continued use, a certain amount of break-in  
wear will cause some adjustments to change.  
The steering has been factory adjusted to eliminate  
creeping when the control levers are in neutral position.  
Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a  
problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal  
wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems  
is while performing scheduled maintenance service.  
Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the best  
insurance.  
However, should the mower begin to creep, adjustments  
can be made as outlined on the following page.  
!
WARNING!  
Keep your machine clean and remove heavy deposits of trash  
and clippings. They can cause engine fires and hydraulic  
overheating as well as excessive belt wear.  
Control  
Lever  
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt,  
especially in the area of oil, fuel and engine combustion  
air; minute dust particles are abrasive to close-tolerance  
engine and hydraulic assemblies.  
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service  
mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled  
personnel. Consult your Land Pride service center when  
assistance is needed.

shorten the steering control linkage until the wheel(s)  
come to a stop. Repeat for the opposite side if  
necessary.  
Refer to Figure 3-2  
Before considering any adjustment, check the tire air  
pressure and make certain hydraulic system oil is at  
operating temperature. Unequal tire pressure will cause  
the mower to drift to one side. Refer to “Tire Inflation  
Chart” on page 19 and page 39.  
6. When both wheels remain in neutral, tighten the jam  
nuts to lock the turnbuckle in place.  
7. Test again by moving the control levers forward and  
backward before returning them to the neutral  
position. If the tires are in neutral, the unit is now ready  
for operation.  
Fine adjustment to the steering is made with the  
adjustable pump linkage rods located between the control  
lever and pump arms.  
8. After adjusting for neutral it may be necessary to  
readjust the steering dampener and/or the control  
lever stop. Fig. 5-3 or Fig. 5-4  
Jam Nut  
Control lever stops  
Refer to Figure 3-3  
The control lever stops are designed to do two things:  
First, and most important, they must keep the pumps from  
bottoming out internally. Secondly, the stops may be  
adjusted to help drive straight when the control levers are  
pushed forward against the stops.

Neutral is properly adjusted when the control levers are in  
the neutral position and the drive wheels are not turning.  
If the mower creeps in the neutral position the control  
linkage may be adjusted as follows:  
1. Raise and block the mower up so the drive wheels are  
off of the floor.  
!
WARNING!  
Control Lever  
21067  
Make certain mower is secure when it is raised and placed on  
the jack stands. The jack stands should not allow the mower to  
move when the engine is running and the drive wheels are  
rotating. Use only certified jack stands.  
Figure 3-3  
To keep the pumps from bottoming out internally use the  
following procedure:  
2. Position the control levers in the neutral position.  
Disengage the blades.  
1. To make the first adjustment the tractor engine must  
NOT be running.  
3. Start the engine and observe which way the wheels  
are rotating.  
2. Check to make sure the control levers are against the  
stops before the pumps are bottomed out internally. To  
do this, gently and slowly move the control levers  
forward and feel if there is some resistance on the  
pump lever before the control levers hit the stops.  
Check one side at a time. If you sense that the pump  
arms are stopping the forward motion of the control  
arms, loosen the jam nut on the adjustable stop of the  
corresponding side and turn the stop (set screw)  
inward to stop the control levers slightly before the  
pump bottoms out. Lock in place when the adjustment  
is correct by re-tightening the jam nut.  
4. If wheel(s) are rotating forward, loosen the jam nuts on  
the pump linkage rods and rotate the rod to lengthen  
the steering control linkage until the wheel(s) come to  
a stop. Repeat for the opposite side if necessary.  
NOTE: The left linkage controls the right hydraulic  
pump and the right linkage controls the left hydraulic  
pump.  
5. If wheel(s) are rotating in reverse then loosen the jam

3. Do this for each side.  
NOTE: The dampener must not bottom out when the  
pump lever is fully stroked in either direction.  
Refer to Figure 3-3 on page 15. To adjust the stops for  
driving straight when control levers are against the stops  
during operation:  
Control Lever Adjustment  
Refer to Figure 3-5  
4. Determine which drive tire is rotating too fast when  
both control levers are against the stops. Then stop  
the tractor and loosen the lock nut on the side which is  
rotating too fast and turn the stop (set screw) inward to  
stop the control lever sooner. Tighten the lock nut on  
the stop and test again. Repeat this procedure until  
unit drives straight.  
The control levers may be adjusted vertically and pivoted  
forward or backward for operator comfort. Adjust the  
control levers vertically by removing the capscrews, flat  
washers, and locknuts that attach the upper control levers  
to the lower control levers. Reposition the upper control  
levers to a height that fits the operator’s personal  
preference. Reassemble the capscrews, flat washers, and  
locknuts in the same order they were removed without  
tightening them. Pivot the upper control levers forward or  
backward to again fit the operator’s personal preference.  
Verify that the control levers align with each other when in  
the neutral position and tighten the locknuts to correct  
torque.  
NOTE: Since this is a hydrostatic drive, variables  
such as temperature of oil, efficiency of pumps and  
motors, tire pressure etc. may effect the consistency  
of the ability to rely on the stops to drive straight  
without the operator making minor steering  
adjustments with the control arms.  
Steering Dampener  
Refer to Figure 3-4:  
The steering dampeners, one for each control lever, are  
spring loaded to return the control levers to neutral  
position from reverse position. This gives the operator a  
sense of neutral during operation. Set the steering  
dampeners in the correct operating position as follows:  
Upper  
Control  
Lever  
1. Place control lever in the neutral position.  
2. Loosen steering dampener’s front ball stud.  
3. Pull the dampener spring housing, to the front, past

Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt,  
Maintenance  
especially in the engine and under the seat platform area;  
minute dust particles are abrasive to close-tolerance  
engine and hydraulic assemblies.  
!
WARNING!  
Unless specifically required, DO NOT have engine running  
when servicing or making adjustments to mower. Place control  
levers in the neutral position, disengage blade engagement, and  
remove ignition switch key. Repairs or maintenance requiring  
engine power should be performed by trained personnel only.  
To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure proper  
ventilation is available when engine must be operated in an  
enclosed area. Read and observe safety warnings in front of  
manual.  
Daily inspect mower for grass clippings and wire and  
string tangles. The underside of the mower deck will  
collect a build-up of grass clippings and dirt, especially  
when grass is wet or has high moisture content. This build-  
up will harden, restricting blade and air movement and will  
probably show a poorer quality of cutting. Therefore it  
should be removed routinely.  
To do this it will be necessary to raise and block the deck  
in the full up position and scrape the build-up from  
underneath.  
!
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service  
mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled  
personnel. Consult your Land Pride dealer when  
assistance is needed.  
DANGER!  
Before working on or under the deck, make certain engine  
cannot be accidentally started. Shut engine off and remove  
ignition switch key for maximum safety. Repairs or maintenance  
requiring engine power should be performed by trained  
personnel only.

DANGER!  
Particular attention must be given to tightening the drive wheel  
lug nuts and blade spindle nuts. Failure to correctly torque  
these items may result in the loss of a wheel or blade, which can  
cause serious damage or personal injury.  
Exercise caution when working under the deck as the mower  
blades are extremely sharp. Wearing gloves is advisable when  
working around or with the blades.

and hands are under mower.  
It is recommended that these be checked after the first 2  
hours of initial operation and every 50 hours following  
removal for repair or replacement.  
Regular maintenance is the best prevention for costly  
downtime or expensive, premature repair. The following  
pages contain suggested maintenance information and  
schedules which the operator should follow on a routine  
basis.  
For all other torques refer to “Torque Values Chart”  
For engine torque values, see engine owner’s manual.  
Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a  
problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal  
wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems  
is while performing scheduled maintenance service.

WARNING!  
Shorts caused by battery terminals or metal tools touching  
metal tractor components can cause sparks. Sparks can cause a  
battery gas explosion which will result in personal injury.  
Prevent the battery terminals from touching any metal tractor  
parts when removing or installing the battery. Do not allow  
metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal  
tractor parts.  
Lubrication  
1. Grease the front gauge wheel bearings per the  
Maintenance Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose  
grease.  
!
WARNING!  
2. Grease the four deck lift pivots, located to the side of  
the operator’s foot rest per the Maintenance  
Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose grease.  
Avoid skin contact with battery acid. Always wear eye  
protection when checking the battery, acid can cause serious  
injury to skin and eyes. If contact occurs, flush area with clean  
water and call physician immediately. Acid will also damage  
clothing. Do not allow open flame near the battery when  
charging. Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is  
both toxic and flammable and may cause an explosion if  
exposed to flame. Always remove the negative ground first and  
replace it last. Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte may overflow  
and damage paint, wiring or structure. When cleaning the  
battery, use soap and water. Be careful not to get soap and  
water into the battery. Use soda mixed in water to clean  
corrosion off the terminals.  
3. Grease the deck idler per the Maintenance Schedule.  
Use SAE multi-purpose grease.  
4. Grease the pump idler per the Maintenance  
Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose grease.  
5. Grease the two deck pusher arm pivots per the  
Maintenance Schedule. Use SAE multi-purpose  
grease.  
Electrical System  
Refer to Figure 4-2  
NOTE: The mower is shipped with negative ground  
cable disconnected from the battery. The battery  
should be charged slowly 5 to 6 hours before  
connecting the ground cable to the battery and  
operating the mower.  
!
WARNING!  
Incorrect battery cable routing can cause damage to the tractor  
and battery cables. This can cause sparks which can cause a  
battery gas explosion which will result in personal injury.  
Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before  
disconnecting the positive (red) cable.  
The electrical system is 12 volt, negative ground with the  
battery located under the seat. Recommended battery is a  
maintenance-free garden mower BCI group U1R with 225  
or better cranking AMP rating. Otherwise, follow battery  
manufacturer’s maintenance, safety, storing and charging  
specifications.  
Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before  
connecting the negative (black) cable.  
Common circuit failures are usually caused by shorting,  
corroded or dirty terminals, loose connections, defective  
wire insulation or broken wires. Switches, solenoids and  
ignition components may also fail, causing a shorted or  
open circuit.  
.
The electrical system is protected by fuses located on the  
right fuel tank instrument panel. The fuses are as follows:  
Battery  
Main - 20 Amp, blade type  
Hour Meter  
Clutch/Aux. - 10 Amp, blade type  
Seat/Neutral - Kawasaki engine = 5 Amp, blade type  
Honda engine = 10 Amp, blade type  
Before attempting any failure diagnosis of the electrical  
system, use a test light or voltmeter to check the battery  
voltage. If the battery voltage is satisfactory, check the  
cleanliness and tightness of the terminals and ground  
connections. A general understanding of electrical  
servicing and use of basic test equipment is necessary for  
troubleshooting and repair.

DANGER!  
Observe usual fuel handling precautions; do not smoke while  
refueling, do not fill tank with engine running or while engine is  
hot. Clean up any gasoline spills.  
Allow engine to cool before storing machine inside a building.  
Keep fuel away from open flame or spark and store machine  
away from open flame or spark if there is fuel in the tank.  
Use extra caution when handling gasoline and other fuels. They  
are flammable and vapors are explosive. A fire or explosion  
from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage  
property. Refuel outdoors preferably, or in well ventilated  
areas. Never attempt to start engine when there is a strong odor  
of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause. Store  
gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach  
of children. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline.  
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or  
trailer as interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may  
insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.  
When practical, remove equipment from the truck or trailer and  
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground. If this is not  
possible, then refuel the equipment on the truck or trailer using  
a portable container and not a gasoline dispenser nozzle. If a  
gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in  
contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all  
times until fueling is complete.  
Hydraulic Reservoir  
Figure 4-6  
Check oil level in hydraulic system after every 50 hours of  
operation or weekly, whichever occurs first. Check more  
often if system appears to be leaking or otherwise  
malfunctioning.  
Fluid level should be 1” from top of reservoir. Use only  
SAE 10W40 SG, SF/CC, CD service motor oil.  
Refer to Figure 4-6. Change hydraulic system filter  
element (Land Pride P/N 831-030C) after first 50 hours of  
tractor operation, then replace filter and oil in reservoir  
every 500 hours thereafter. When changing hydraulic oil  
use 1/2 unit (approximately 3.5 oz.) of Lubrizol additive  
(Land Pride P/N 821-041C). This additive, available from  
your Land Pride dealer, will increase the performance life  
of the hydraulic system components.  
The system filter is located to the right of the hydraulic  
reservoir. A standard oil filter wrench is used to change  
filter, threads are right handed. Use Land Pride  
approved filter element P/N 831-030C only.  
!
WARNING!  
IMPORTANT: Prefill the filter element with clean oil  
before installing to prevent drawing air into the  
system pump.  
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.  
Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and  
illness.  
Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.  
Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank or conditioner  
opening.  
Replace filter element as follows:  
1. Fill the filter element with clean system oil. Smear a  
light coating of oil on upper surface of rubber seal.

securely and wipe up any spilled gasoline. Use regular  
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.  
4. Place the end of the fuel line into a gas can or a drain  
pan and open the fuel shut-off valve to drain the fuel  
from the fuel tank.  
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline  
containing methanol, or gasohol containing more  
than 10% ethanol because the fuel system could be  
damaged. Do not mix oil with gasoline.  
5. When fuel tank is drained re-route the fuel line to the  
Left/Right Fuel Tank Valve and attach to the valve.  
Clamp fuel line to valve.  
6. Fill fuel tank with proper grade of gasoline and open  
shut-off valve.  
Using a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the tractor can  
provide benefits such as:  
Changing fuel filters  
1. Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or  
less. For longer storage, drain the fuel tanks.  
Refer to Figure 4-8A and Figure 4-8B  
The fuel filter is installed in the fuel line between fuel tanks  
and engine fuel pump. Replace filter (Land Pride Part No.

whichever occurs first.  
2. Cleans the engine during operation.  
3. Eliminates gum-like varnish build-up in the fuel system.  
IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives containing  
methanol or ethanol.  
When replacing the fuel filter, check the fuel line hoses  
and fuel shut-off valve grommet for any cracks or leaks. A  
fuel shut-off valve is located on each fuel tank (Figure 4-7).  
Close these valves to prevent fuel flow to the engine.  
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the  
gas. Follow the gas stabilizer/conditioner manufacturer’s  
directions for best results. The fuel filter (Figure 4-8A) is  
installed in the fuel line between fuel tanks and engine fuel  
pump on the rear left side of the engine. Replace filter  
annually or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever  
occurs first. For fuel filter removal refer to the engine  
owner’s manual. When replacing the fuel filter, check the  
fuel line hoses for any cracks or leaks. Replace as  
needed.

Air cleaner servicing is an inexpensive maintenance  
check that can prevent costly non-warrantable premature  
engine damage.  
Over Servicing  
Over servicing occurs when an air filter element is  
removed for cleaning or replacement before it is  
necessary. Each time the filter is removed a small amount  
of dirt and dust could fall in the intake system. This  
accumulated dirt can cause a dusted engine. It only takes  
a few grams of ingested dirt over the normal service life of  
an engine to cause a dusted engine.  
Oil Filter

Do not clean element, replace with a new element  
only. Cleaning used air filter elements, through improper  
cleaning procedures, can get dust on the inside of the filter  
causing dirt ingestion and engine failure.

Land Pride  
Section 4 Maintenance and Lubrication  
It is important to note that whenever an air filter element is  
cleaned by any method, the person or company  
performing the cleaning assumes responsibility for the  
integrity of the filter from then on. The Donaldson  
warranty for air filters expires upon cleaning or  
servicing in any manner because the condition of the  
filter after servicing is completely out of their control.  
Therefore, on a dust ingested engine failure, there will  
be no warranty consideration if the air filter element  
has been cleaned or serviced in any manner.  
filter specified is a Donaldson filter, Land Pride part  
number 839-312C.  
Owners should be reminded that failure to use original  
equipment replacement parts is an alteration and will not  
be considered for warranty in the event of engine damage.  
Engine Air Filter Service Procedure  
1. Release clamps and remove element. Clean the  
canister with a damp cloth.  
2. Before installing a new element, inspect it by placing a  
bright light inside and rotate the element slowly,  
looking for any holes or tears in the paper. Also check  
gaskets for cuts or tears. Do not attempt to use a  
damaged element which will allow abrasive particles  
to enter the engine.  
A partially dirty air filter element works better than a new  
element. Therefore, a dirty filter element is not bad for the  
engine unless it is excessively restricting the air flow and  
engine performance is affected. The reason is the media  
in the filter must be porous to allow air to pass through it.  
When dirty air passes through the filter, the dirt plugs  
some of the holes in the media and actually acts as part of  
the filter media. When the next round of dirt enters, the first  
dirt helps filter out even smaller particles making the filter  
more efficient at stopping dirt from entering the engine.  
This is referred to as barrier filtration.  
3. Reinstall the dust cup. Make sure it seals all the way  
around the air cleaner body, then tighten the clamps.  
4. Check all fittings and clamps periodically for tightness  
and inspect hoses for holes or cracks.  
5. Periodically check the intake hose for signs of  
ingested dust. Locate and repair the source of  
ingested dirt.  
Of course, at some point the filter media becomes too  
clogged to allow air to pass.  
6. Never operate a machine without an air filter installed.  
The mowing conditions will determine the frequency of air  
filter element changing.  
General Engine Maintenance  
Improper Installation  
Detailed instructions and recommendations for break-in  
and regular maintenance are specified in the engine  
operator’s manual. Please refer to this manual for engine  
servicing, lubricating oil levels with quality and viscosity  
recommendations, bolt torques, etc. The engine warranty  
is backed by the engine manufacturer. Special attention  
should be paid to applicable data which will not be  
duplicated here.  
Dust must not leak past the seals on each end of the air  
filter element. The filter must be aligned within the canister  
and properly seated for an effective seal so that no dirt can  
enter the engine.  
Damaged filter, Seals or Canister  
Never bang or bump the filter element against the tire or  
any solid object, as dust and dirt particles will be forced  
through the media causing continual passing of dirt into  
the engine. Visually inspect the outside of the air cleaner  
canister periodically for external damage and replace if  
necessary.  
Belt Replacement  
Refer to Figure 4-11 and Figure 4-12:  
Replace belts which show signs of severe cuts, tears,  
excessive weather checking and cracking or burns  
caused by slipping. Slight raveling of belt covering does  
not indicate failure, trim ravelings with a sharp knife.  
Incorrect Air Filter Element  
Use only the correct Donaldson air filter element, Land  
Pride part number 839-312C, which is designed to fit the  
canister properly. Land Pride air filter elements have the  
correct media composition, filter area, micron size and  
dimensions. Always use genuine Land Pride filters. Many  
aftermarket filters have been found to be incompatible  
with Land Pride’s canisters and engines.  
Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A  
new belt, or one in good condition, should never run  
against the bottom of the groove. Replace the pulley when  
this is the case, otherwise belt will lose power and slip  
excessively.  
Never pry a belt to get it on a pulley as this will cut or  
damage the fibers of the belt covering.  
The air filter must remain intact to block passage of dirt  
and foreign particles from entering the engine. Being  
inclined to disbelieve the need for more expensive air filter  
elements used on gasoline engines may cause some  
individuals to opt for a less expensive part.  
Keep oil and grease away from belts, and never use belt  
dressings. Any of these will destroy the belt composition in  
a very short time.  
The filter element must be sufficient size and construction  
to withstand stresses, caused by rapid cycling of the air  
volume demanded by the engine, without cracking or  
tearing under fatigue and pressure. Therefore, Land Pride  
and the engine manufacturers have carefully selected a  
reliable filter designed to fit the needs of the engines. The

WARNING!  
If the pump belt fails, loss of control may occur when operating  
on a slope.

6. Slide the belt off and above the engine pulley to allow  
the belt to be removed from the pump/motor pulleys.  
Check the mower blades daily, they are the key to power  
efficiency and well groomed turf. Keep them sharp, a dull  
blade will tear rather than cut the grass, leaving a brown  
ragged top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade  
also requires more power from the engine.  
Replace any blade which is bent, cracked or broken.

Use a 15/16” wrench to remove the 5/8” cap screw holding  
blade to spindle saddle from underneath.  
Sharpen the blades on a grinder following resharpening  
pattern as shown in Figure 4-16. Touch-up sharpening  
can be done with a file.  
!
WARNING!  
Never attempt to straighten a bent blade by heating, or weld a  
cracked or broken blade as the blade may break and cause  
serious injury.  
Check the blades for balance following grinding. A  
commercial balancing tool is available through most  
hardware supply stores, or balancing can be done by  
placing the blade on an inverted line punch or 5/8” bolt.  
Blade should not lean or tilt. Spin the blade slowly, blade  
should not wobble. If blade is out of balance, true it up  
before reinstalling.  
!
DANGER!  
Never work with blades while engine is running or blade  
engagement is engaged. Always place blade engagement switch  
in the down (Off) position, place control levers in park position  
and turn engine off. Block up mower when you must work under  
it. Wear gloves when handling blades. Always check for blade  
damage if mower strikes rock, branch or other foreign object  
during mowing!  
Lay the blade on a flat surface and check for distortion.  
Replace any distorted blade.  
Refer Figure 4-14 and Figure 4-15 on this page.

Section 4 Maintenance and Lubrication  
Do not re-use spindle bolts which have stripped, worn or  
undercut threads. Do not re-use spindle bolts which have  
stripped, worn or undercut threads. Torque bolts to 118  
foot-pounds when reinstalling blades.  
6. Block mower up so weight is off tires.  
NOTE: Do not deflate tires.  
7. Protect battery from freezing temperatures.  
Occasionally recharging battery during storage will  
extend battery life.  
8. Perform separate engine preparation as listed below.  
9. Store mower in a clean, dry place.  
Preparation of Engine for Storage  
When engine is to be unused for long periods, proceed as  
follows:  
Resharpening Pattern  
19074  
1. Run engine for a minimum of 15 minutes.  
2. Drain oil from crankcase while engine is still warm.  
3. Refill with fresh oil of proper viscosity.  
Do not sharpen to original pattern (below). It is  
easier to get a straight cutting edge following the  
resharpening pattern shown above.  
4. Drain fuel tank and run the engine until it stops from  
lack of fuel. Gasoline evaporates if left in carburetor for  
long periods, forming gum and varnish deposits in  
carburetor. These deposits will cause engine flooding  
and loss of power.  
Original Edge  
5. Remove and replace fuel filter if not done in previous  
100 hours.  
6. Remove spark plugs and pour a tablespoon of engine  
oil into each spark plug hole. Install plugs, but do not  
reconnect plug leads.  
19075  
Blade Resharpening  
Figure 4-16  
7. Crank engine with starter at least a dozen revolutions  
to distribute oil over cylinder walls and valve  
mechanism.  
!
WARNING!  
8. Clean exterior surface of engine. Spread a light film of  
oil over any exposed metal surfaces of engine that are  
subject to corrosion.  
When mounting blades, rotate them after installation to ensure  
blade tips do not touch each other or sides of the mower.  
9. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinders and fins, blower  
housing and muffler.  
!
WARNING!  
10. Check oil filler cap and fuel tank cap to make certain  
they are securely in place.  
Failure to correctly torque the bolt may result in the loss of the  
blade which can cause serious injury.  
New Season Preparation  
Before starting the mower following post season storage,  
the following servicing is required:  
STORAGE  
When storing the unit at the end of the mowing season,  
the following steps should be taken to ensure readiness  
for the next mowing season.  
1. Clean mower, removing trash and dirt accumulation.  
2. Check engine oil level.  
1. Remove all grass, dirt, and trash. Clean and touch up  
all scrapes with Land Pride spray paint.  
3. Fill fuel tank with fresh gasoline. Run machine at half  
speed for 5 minutes, checking operation of steering  
control levers. Stop engine and check for oil leaks,  
loose fittings and so forth.  
2. Clean paper air filter. Replace if necessary. Wash and  
re-oil foam pre-cleaner.  
3. Check thoroughly for any worn or damaged parts that  
need replacing and order them from your dealer.  
4. Tighten any bolts that have loosened and make sure  
all hair pins, cotter pins and clevis pins are in place.  
4. Thoroughly lubricate machine, according to  
lubrication instructions.  
5. Install all safety shields and review safety precautions  
listed in this manual.  
5. Check hydraulic oil level. Add oil if necessary. Change  
oil and filter if not done in last 500 hours. Lubrizol  
additive is required. Refer to Maintenance section.  
6. Check and inflate tires to 8-10 psi.  
7. Reconnect spark plug leads to spark plug.
