Introduction
Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
Terminology
“Right” or “Left” as used in this manual is determined by
facing forward while sitting in the operator seat unless
otherwise stated.
This mower has been designed with care and built by
skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly,
maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you
get years of satisfactory use from this machine.
Definitions
Application
IMPORTANT: A special point of information related
to the following topic. Land Pride’s intention is this
information must be read & noted before continuing.
The Accu-Z ZT360 and ZT372 Zero Turn Mowers from
Land Pride are commercial duty mowers. They are very
maneuverable, extremely comfortable, highly productive,
and come in cutting configurations designed to meet the
needs of even the most discriminating owners and
custom operators. This makes the ZT3 Series one of the
premier choices of grass maintenance machines for
ranchers, farmers, large estate owners, cemeteries,
municipalities, campuses, and landscape maintenance
contractors.
NOTE: A special point of information that the
operator should be aware of before continuing.
Owner Assistance
The Online Warranty Registration should be completed
by the dealer at the time of purchase. This information is
necessary to provide you with quality customer service.
The ZT3 Series mowers come equipped with a choice of
either 60" or 72" cutting decks with high blade tip speeds
ranging from 18,350 feet per minute on the 60" deck to
19,300 feet per minute on the 72" deck. The decks adjust
from 1" to 5" cutting height in 1/4" increments. The 60"
deck meets the needs of customers who mow in tighter
areas around obstacles or want to maintain a lower
cutting height over undulating terrain. The more
productive 72" cutting deck will meet the needs of
customers with more level and open areas to cut and just
want to get the mowing job done faster. The Accu-Z is
supplied with 27 hp Kawasaki air cooled engines for
proven performance, power, and reliability.
The parts on your Zero Turn Mower have been specially
designed by Land Pride and should only be replaced with
genuine Land Pride parts. Contact a Land Pride dealer if
customer service or repair parts are required. Your Land
Pride dealer has trained personnel, repair parts, and
equipment needed to service the implement.
For parts and service to your mower engine, contact
your nearest engine dealer or call Customer Service
Hotline provided below.
Customers living in areas with hills or warmer and wetter
climates will typically want to employ the floating axle
capability for enhanced traction capability and a
smoother ride.Twin-lever hydrostatic steering will enable
the Land Pride Accu-Z Zero Turn Mowers to turn within
their overall length. Couple this outstanding
maneuverability with a maximum 12 mph mowing speed
and low center of gravity and you’ve got mowing
capability that’s fast, safe, comfortable, and easy to
transport that will meet your commercial needs.

Section 2: Operating Procedures
and comfortably seat yourself. The park brake lever just
Good Operating Practices
to your left and adjacent to the operator’s seat should be
fully raised and in the (ON) position. With both steering
levers still wide apart, reach for the throttle and choke
control on your right side. Position 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 probably not necessary.
Engage blades with engine running at medium
speed. Pull up on blade engagement switch to start
blades. Once blades are fully engaged and turning,
increase engine speed to maximum operating speed.
NOTE: Engaging blades under heavy load (i.e. tall
grass) or at high engine RPM can cause premature
belt wear and/or belt damage.
Cut grass with blades operating at full speed. Your
Zero Turn Mower operates at peak mowing performance
and gives the best cut when the throttle is set at full rpm.
This gives maximum power to the drive wheels and
cutting blades when needed. Use control levers to control
ground speed rather than engine rpm.
With the engine at half throttle, release the parking brake
by pushing the lever forward and down all the way. Then
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 open area to practice maneuvering and steering
your mower with the engine still at half throttle. Gradually
increase your throttle speed until you feel totally confident
of your mower steering and handling ability around
obstacles and in tight areas.
The mower’s control levers are very responsive. For
smooth operation, move levers 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.
Approach depressions & raised obstacles carefully.
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 both wheels clear the obstruction.
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. When you are done mowing or just want to
take a break, make sure you do all of the following.
Protect turf by keeping both drive wheels rolling
when making turns. When turning on soft wet turf, keep
both drive wheels rolling either forward or backward.
Pivoting on a stopped drive wheel can damage the turf.
Select a mowing pattern that discharges cut grass
away from uncut grass. Use a pattern utilizing left turns
because cut grass is discharged to the right. Avoid
discharging cut grass onto uncut areas as grass is then
mowed twice. Mowing twice puts an unnecessary load
on the mower and reduces mowing efficiency.
• Park on level ground if possible, throttle engine back,
disengage cutting blades. place steering levers in
wide-open neutral position, engage park brake, turn
engine off, and remove switch key.
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.
• Step carefully off the left side of the floor pan.
• You may want to chock wheels as an added measure
of safety, if and when you must park on an incline.
In the unlikely event that you lose electrical power and
the Zero Turn Mower shuts completely down, you will
lose hydrostatic steering capability. Should the engine fail
for any reason and you need to push or pull the unit a
short distance for loading or servicing, make sure you
open bypass valves on the transaxles.
General Operating Information
After thoroughly familiarizing yourself with the Operator’s
Manual and completing the Operator’s Checklist, you are
almost ready to begin mowing.
The Land Pride Zero Turn Mowers are designed to deliver
professional cutting quality, while delivering high
productivity and sustained comfort over extended
periods of operation. With just a little bit of practice you
should become very good at operating your mower.
Approach mower from the front and spread steering
levers fully apart. Stand just to the outside rear of the left
front anti-scalp wheel and with your right hand grab the
left side steering lever for support. Taking care not to slip
on the mower deck, step up onto the operator’s platform

switch key. Read and observe all “Safety Warnings” and
“Important Notes” in this manual.
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.
Your Zero Turn Mower was adjusted before it left the
factory and checked for proper operation during
pre-delivery set-up. However, break-in wear and
continued use can cause some adjustments to change.
• Be alert for unusual noises while operating the mower.
They could be signaling a problem.
• Visually inspect for abnormal wear or damage while
servicing and making adjustments to the mower.
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.

!
WARNING
Keep your mower clean. Remove heavy trash and clippings
from mower. Keep all moving parts, hydraulic system, engine
cooling system, and exhaust system clean of trash and
clippings. Accumulation of trash and/or clippings can cause
fires, hydraulic overheating and excessive belt wear.
Park Brake Adjustment
Over time, the park brake cable can stretch changing the
effectiveness of the park brakes. Adjust park brakes if
they do not hold on an incline or if the park brake lever
applies too easy or too hard.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil, and dirt.
Especially clean in the areas around oil openings, fuel
openings, and air inlets. Minute dust particles are
abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic
components.
Refer to Figure 3-1:
1. Measure distance from nut (#5) to end of threaded
mount (#6). If distance is about 1/8", skip to step 3.
2. Back nut (#5) away from engine platform until about
1/8" from end of threaded mount (#6).
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.
3. Tighten jam nut (#4) against engine support plate
and loosen nut (#2) 5 or 6 turns.
Torque Requirements
Refer to “Torque Values Chart” on page 60 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware. See
“Additional Torque Values” at bottom of chart for
exceptions to standard torque values.
a. Tighten nut (#3) one-half turn at a time until
applied brake lever pressure (#1) is satisfactory
and then tighten nut (#2) against lever housing.
b. Ensure cable adjustment allows linkage (#7) to
return fully to disengaged position. Not doing
so may cause premature wear and unnecessary
heat in the transaxle.
Tire Pressure
Before considering any adjustment, check air pressure in
the tires. Unequal tire pressure will cause mower to drift
to one side and cut grass at unequal heights. Refer to
“Tire Inflation Chart” on page 61.
c. Recheck brake lever to make certain park brakes
will hold mower on an incline. If necessary, repeat
step 4 until park brakes will hold on an incline.

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication
Maintenance
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.
!
WARNING
Read and observe all safety warnings in this manual and in the
engine service manual.
!
WARNING
Check initially and periodically for loose bolts and pins.
Torque loose bolts per the “Torque Values Chart” on
page 60. Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be
signaling a problem. Visually inspect machine for any
abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect
potential problems is while performing scheduled
maintenance. Correcting problems as quickly as possible
is the best insurance.
Except when checking or changing components, always keep
protective shields on for safety as well as for cleanliness.
!
WARNING
Keep your machine clean. Remove all deposits of trash and
clippings. A dirty machine can cause engine fires and
hydraulic overheating as well as excessive belt wear.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil, and dirt,
especially around the engine and under the seat
platform. Minute dust particles are abrasive to
close-tolerance engines and hydraulic assemblies.
!
WARNING
DO NOT have engine running when servicing or making
adjustments to the mower. Shut blade engagement switch off,
move both control levers out, set park brake on, shut engine
off and remove ignition switch key.
Inspect mower daily for grass clippings, tangled wire and
string. 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
usually produce a poor quality of cutting. Therefore,
debris should be routinely removed from under the deck.
To do this, it will be necessary to raise and block the deck
in the full-up position before scrapping build-up from
underneath.
!
WARNING
Never run mower engine with seat pan raised. Hands and/or
clothing can become entangled in the fan blades and drive
belts causing serious injury or death.
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.
!
WARNING
When possible, clean under the deck using a stick or similar
instrument making sure that no part of the body, especially
arms and hands are under the mower.
Maintenance Safety
!
WARNING
Keep mower properly maintained. Do not make unauthorized
modifications. An improperly maintained mower or one that
has been improperly modified can be dangerous to operate.
!
DANGER
Repairs or maintenance specifically requiring engine power
should be performed by trained personnel only. Control levers
should be out. If control levers are to be operated, the tires

Always wear adequate eye protection when servicing the
hydraulic system.
6. Recheck oil level once unit has been operating for
approximately 1 minute.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a high pressure washer on
or around the hydraulic transaxles. Water intrusion
will result and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT: The transaxles must be purged if no
oil was present in the expansion tank prior to adding
oil to remove any air that may have become trapped.
NOTE: The transaxle units are equipped with bypass
valves. For more information refer to “Moving Mower
The ZT360 & ZT372 mowers are equipped with two
TM
independent Hydro-Gear ZT5400 Integrated Zero-
Turn transaxle units. The units are located beneath the
seat and require oil and filter changes on a regular basis.
Check oil level in the expansion tanks daily. Stop
operations immediately if transaxles are operating hot,
noisy, or lacks power after operating for a short time. Wait
for oil to properly cool and then check oil level in
expansion tanks. If expansion tanks are properly filled
with oil, have your nearest authorized Land Pride service
department check the units and make necessary repairs
before putting the mower back into service.
Transaxle Oil Check & Filling
Refer to Figure 5-8:
The mower has two independent hydrostatic transaxles.
Each transaxle will require separate oil checks. It is best
to check oil when oil in the transaxle is between
o
o
50 and 100 F. See page 53 for oil specifications.
IMPORTANT: A transaxle must be purged anytime
oil has been added to the unit or when unit has been
opened to facilitate maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Clean debris from around fill cap
before checking or adding oil to the unit.

e. Tighten oil filter cover to specified torque. See
“Additional Torque Values” on page 60 for
specified torque value.
Transaxle Oil & Filter Change
The mower has two independent hydrostatic transaxle
systems. Each system will require separate oil and oil
filter changes. It is best to change oil soon after using the
mower while dirt particles are still suspended in the oil.
See page 53 for transaxle oil specifications.
Refer to Figure 5-8:
10. Remove top port vent plug (#4). This will allow the
transaxles to vent air during oil fill.
Initially, change oil and oil filters after the first 25 to 50
hours of operation. Thereafter, change oil and filters
every 200 hours or every year whichever comes first. Two
filters are required with each oil change. They may be
purchased from your nearest Land Pride dealer. See
page 53 for filter part numbers.
11. Fill transaxle by adding specified oil to expansion
tank (#7) until oil appears at the top port vent plug
opening (#4). See “Hydrostatic Transaxle
Specifications & Capacities” on page 53 for
specified oil type and quantity.
12. Install top port vent plug (#4) and tighten.
13. Continue to add oil to the expansion tank until oil
reaches the full cold line (approximately 3/8" up from
the bottom of expansion tank).
IMPORTANT: The transaxles must be purged after
every oil change. See “Transaxle Purging
NOTE: Fill tube (#5) should be hand squeezed
several times to burp out air and to drain oil from the
expansion tank into the tube. Be careful not to
damage the tube while squeezing it. Use a
protective cloth wrapped around the tube if using a
tool to squeeze such as a pair of pliers.
IMPORTANT: Refer to Figure 5-8 on page 40. Clean
debris from around oil filter cap (#1), oil fill vent port
plug (#4), and expansion tank cap (#8) before
removing any caps and draining hydraulic oil.
1. Park unit on a flat level surface. Stop engine and
remove ignition key. Make sure blade engagement
switch is (OFF). Spread control levers fully apart.
14. Reinstall expansion tank cap (#8) by hand. Be
careful to not overtighten.
Refer to Figure 5-8 on page 40:
15. Wipe off all excess oil. A degreaser may be needed to
remove excess oil.
2. Begin on the left side by placing an oil pan (12" or
more in diameter with approximately 8 qt. or more
capacity) beneath the transaxle oil filter cover (#1).
16. Repeat steps 1 thru 15 for the right side.
3. Clean transaxle exterior and expansion tank of any
debris. A degreaser may be needed.
Transaxle Purging Procedures
It is critical that air is purged from the hydrostatic drive
system to keep it efficient. This is because compression
and expansion rate of air is higher than that of oil.
NOTE: Drain old oil filters of all free flowing oil prior
to disposal. Place used oil and oil filter in
appropriate containers and deliver to an approved
collection facility.
This purge procedure should be implemented any time
the hydrostatic system has been opened to facilitate
maintenance or after oil has been changed.
4. Unscrew oil filter cover (#1) and allow oil to drain.
Symptoms of a hydrostatic system that has not been
purged may be:
5. Remove oil ring (#2) from oil filter cover (#1). Dispose
of oil ring properly.
1. Noisy operation.
6. Remove expansion tank cap (#8) to facilitate
drainage.
2. Lack of power after short term operation.
7. Allow oil to drain until it has slowed to a slow drip. Be
sure to properly dispose of the oil.
3. High operation temperature and excessive
expansion of oil.
8. After oil has completely drained from transaxle
housing, remove used oil filter (#3) from transaxle
housing and dispose of properly.
Refer to Figure 5-8 on page 40:
Before purging system, make sure fill tubes (#5) are full of
oil and expansion tanks (#7) are filled to the cold full line
(#6). Squeeze all air from fill tubes and add oil if
expansion tanks are low. See “Hydrostatic Transaxle
Specifications & Capacities” on page 53 for oil
specifications. The following procedures are best
performed with mower drive wheels off the ground and
then repeated under normal operating conditions. If this
is not possible, the procedure should be performed in an
open area free of any objects or bystanders.
9. Install new oil filter per instructions below:
a. Insert new oil filter into transaxle housing.
b. With a clean rag, clean the inside surface of the oil
filter cover where the oil ring seats against it.
c. Apply a thin coat of oil on new rubber oil ring (#2)
and install new oil ring onto filter cover (#1).
d. Screw oil filter cover on until it makes contact with
the surface it seats against.
1. Open both transaxle bypass valves (#9) by rotating
valves vertical to “BYPASS”.

3. Close both bypass valves by rotating them
horizontally to “RUN”.
Land Pride recommends adding correct amounts of gas
stabilizer/conditioner in the fuel. For best results, follow
engine manufacturer’s directions. Using a fuel stabilizer/
conditioner in the fuel can provide benefits such as:
4. With engine running and control levers in neutral,
slowly move levers forward and rearward 5 to 6 times.
5. Stop engine and check fill tubes (#5) and expansion
tanks (#7). Squeeze all air from fill tubes and add oil
to expansion tanks if they are low.
1. Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or
less. Drain fuel tank if storage is longer.
IMPORTANT: The transaxle is considered purged
when transaxles are at the proper oil level, operate
at normal noise levels, oil temperatures are not
excessively high, and mower does not lack power.
2. Cleans engine during operation.
3. Eliminates gum-like varnish build-up in the fuel system.

3. Before installing a new filter 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. Doing so will allow
abrasive particles to enter the engine.
IMPORTANT: Burp valve must be positioned below
the canister to make certain it drains water away
from the filter elements properly.
7. Reinstall canister cap with burp valve positioned
below the canister. Make sure it seals all around the
canister before latching retaining clips.
4. Inspect burp valve. Replace burp valve if it is
cracked, torn, stays open, or is missing. See also
“Burp Valve” on this page.
8. Check all fittings and clamps periodically for
tightness. Inspect hoses for holes or cracks.
5. Install new Inner element into the new outer element
as shown in Figure 5-13.
9. Periodically check engine intake hose for signs of
ingested dust. Locate and repair source of ingested
dirt.
6. Install new outer filter element by inserting the open
end in the canister first.
10. Never operate a machine without an air filter
installed.
Burp Valve
Refer to Figure 5-14:
The burp valve is a highly important part of your dust filter. It opens and shuts, expelling collected dust and water as
the engine’s vacuum pressure pulsates. It also dumps dust collected in the filter canister when the engine stops
running. If the burp valve is damaged, dust that would normally be discharged from the canister can collect on the
filter element causing its life to be shortened. Replace the burp valve if it is open, cracked, torn, or missing.

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication
Improper Installation
Engine Air Filter Handling
Refer to Figure 5-13 on page 45:
Improper installation occurs when dust leaks past the
seals. The filter element must be aligned within the
canister and properly seated on both ends to prevent dirt
from entering the engine.
Prevent costly and non-warrantable premature engine
damage by maintaining the air filter properly. Many
engine problems are due to improper handling of the air
filter. Dust and dirt that gets past the air filter will damage
engine cylinder, piston and bearings in a few hours.
Avoiding the following common mishandling:
Damaged Air Filtering System
A damaged air filtering system occurs from mishandling
of the filter element and operating the mower in areas
that could damage the canister.
• Over servicing
• Improper installation
• Damaged air filtering system
• Incorrect air filter element
Over Servicing
Banging and/or bumping the filter element against a solid
object such as a tire or blowing the element with air can
damage the seals and/or force dust and dirt particles
through the filter media creating a hole for dirt to pass
through to the engine.
Over servicing occurs when an air filter element is
inspected and/or replaced too often. Dust and dirt can fall
off the filter element onto the canister where it can be
sucked into the intake system. Only a few grams of dirt
getting into an engine during each filter inspection can
prematurely produce dust induced engine damage. A
partially dirty air filter element is not harmful to the
engine.
Driving the mower carelessly over rough terrain, jutting
sticks, heavy brush and severe rocks can damage the air
cleaner canister. Periodically inspect the outside of the
air cleaner canister for external damage and replace if
necessary.
Incorrect Air Filter Element
The air filter must remain intact to block passage of dirt
and foreign particles. It must be of sufficient size and
construction to withstand stresses, caused by rapid
cycling of air volume demanded by the engine, without
cracking or tearing under fatigue and pressure. Its filter
elements must have the correct media composition, filter
area, micron size and dimensions to properly filter the air
of dirt while at the same time passing sufficient air to the
engine.
The air filter element should be changed before it
becomes too dirty and restricts air flow to the engine
hindering its performance. Replace the air filter element
immediately should this happen. Engines that do not get
proper amounts of air will draw in excessive amounts of
gas causing premature engine damage.
The frequency of the air filter needing changing is largely
determined by operating conditions. Dusty conditions will
require more frequent servicing.
Land Pride and the engine manufacturers have carefully
selected a reliable filter designed to fit these needs.
Always use genuine Land Pride filters. Failure to use
original equipment replacement parts is an alteration
and will not be considered for warranty in the event
of a dust induced engine damage. See “Engine
Specifications & Capacities” on page 53 for Land Pride
air filter replacement numbers.
A dirty filter element should always be replaced with a
new element. Improper cleaning procedures can get dust
on the inside of the filter causing dirt induced and engine
damage. The air filter warranty expires upon cleaning
or servicing a used filter in any manner. Land Pride
does not warranty a dust induced engine damage if a
used air filter element has been cleaned or serviced
in any manner.

Blade Sharpening
Mower Blade Maintenance
Blade Inspection
Check mower blades daily, they are the key to power
efficiency and a well groomed turf. Keep them sharp as a
dull blade will tear rather than cut grass, leaving a brown
ragged top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade
also requires more power from the engine.
!
DANGER
Keep blades balanced when sharpening. An unbalanced blade
may come loose and fly out from under the deck. Also, an
unbalanced blade will shorten the spindle bearing’s life.
Replace any blade which is bent, cracked, or broken.
!
CAUTION
ALWAYS wear eye protection and gloves when sharpening a
blade.
!
WARNING
DO NOT try to straighten a blade that is bent. Never weld a
broken or cracked blade. ALWAYS replace with a new Land
Pride blade to assure safety.
NOTE: Care should be taken in order not to remove
any more material than necessary to sharpen blade.
1. Clean blade, blade washer and mounting surface of
all debris before inspecting blade and sharpening.
!
DANGER
Never work with blades while engine is running or with blades
engaged. Always push blade engagement switch down (OFF),
move both control levers to neutral and then fully (OUT), set
park brake (ON), 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 should strike
a rock, branch, or other foreign object during mowing.
Refer to Figure 5-16:
2. Lay blade on a flat surface and check blade to make
sure it is not warped. Replace any blade that is
warped.
